About Me

Heather - Viking Longship on the Danube – Budapest
Heather - Viking Longship on the Danube – Budapest

I’m Heather Viking — a Diamond-level “Super Star” advisor and Presidents Circle member with the Travel Leaders Network, specializing in Viking River & Ocean Cruises and other luxury cruise experiences such as Windstar, Seabourn, and Tahiti sailings. I also help clients plan iconic land-and-sea combinations, from overwater bungalows at the Conrad Nui Bora Bora to European pre- and post-cruise stays in cities like Prague, Amsterdam, and Rome. I lead a nationally recognized Viking-focused sales team at Club Cruise™, consistently ranked in the Top 1% of Travel Leaders Network advisors and recognized by Viking’s sales leadership for outstanding support of travelers and fellow advisors.

I don’t just book cabins. I design your entire trip around your Viking experience so you can relax and enjoy every moment. That means custom air schedules (including business class when desired), hand-picked pre- and post-cruise stays in cities like Prague, Amsterdam, or Budapest, smooth airport transfers, comprehensive travel insurance, and concierge-level support from the moment you leave home until you return.

Why work with me? Viking is my passion and my specialty. I grew up in a cruise family, and my career has been dedicated to mastering Viking itineraries, ships, and guest experiences. I’ve earned recognition as a Travel Central Magazine “30 Under 30” honoree and work as part of a nationally recognized agency team. My clients benefit from deep product knowledge, trusted supplier relationships, and a professional support staff that makes even the most complex trips feel effortless.

I love working with couples, multi-generational families, first-time river cruisers, and seasoned travelers alike. Some of the most popular journeys I help with include the Grand European Tour, Romantic Danube, Rhine Getaway, Mediterranean Highlights, and special celebration cruises for anniversaries and milestone birthdays. Whether you’re dreaming of sipping wine along the Wachau Valley, exploring castles on the Rhine, or unwinding after a Viking Ocean sailing in Barcelona or Rome, I’ll make sure every detail is carefully thought out.

My promise to you: clear communication, proactive updates, and a polished master itinerary that includes confirmations, booking references, and official travel links—all organized by date. You’ll always know exactly what to expect, with everything in one place before you depart.

As I like to say, “We navigate you through beginning to welcome home.”

If you’ve been overwhelmed by the options or simply want the confidence that comes with an expert on your side, let’s have a short conversation to discover the right fit. Together we’ll select the ideal sailing, season, and itinerary—and then I’ll handle the rest: air, hotels, transfers, insurance, and special enhancements. My role is to simplify your planning and elevate your entire Viking journey. 

I’m proud to combine personal, concierge-level care with the resources of one of the nation’s most respected cruise-focused agencies which is Club Cruise. As a Diamond-level “Super Star” and Presidents Circle advisor with the Travel Leaders Network, I’ve been recognized by Viking’s sales leadership for my expertise and by clients for making complex trips effortless. If you value stress-free planning, insider guidance, and a trusted advocate from your first idea to the moment you return home, I’d love to help you craft a remarkable cruise journey.

Yoga Retreat to Costa Rica
Reviewed By Millie Rose - Sacramento, CA | Traveled to Costa Rica ~ Central America
I LOVE HEATHER! I am a solo old grandma and she was the sweetest woman to work with. She made me feel empowered and comfortable traveling alone. I went on a yoga retreat after losing my husband and it was one of the best things Ive ever done for myself. Heather set me up with an itinerary with links to each step of the way. It was very simple but completely thought through.

Yacht Charter to Tahiti
Reviewed By Shannon & Ryan - Sacramento, CA | Traveled to Tahiti ~ French Polynesia ~ South Pacific
Heather's office at Club Cruise is really close to us so we went and checked it out. We wanted to charter a yacht for my husbands 50th birthday with a few close friends. Not only did we leave our meeting with her feeling very informed but we left with a PLAN to spend 10 days in Tahiti. From the night before we took off to the return of all of the people we traveled with Heather was constantly communicating with us and even booked us tours and upgraded flights during our trip. She is extremely kind and also very knowledgeable!
Heather Viking responded
"I am here for you every step of the way. You both were so wonderful to work with. Next stop Paris! "
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

We sat down and planned a trip to Positano, Sorento, and Vietri sul Mare. She spent a lot of time with us and designed the most wonderful interary for our large group with a little bit of everything. The group always knew what we were doing and what time. It ended up being one of the most seamless trips we have ever been on.

She Made Japan Easy
Reviewed By Katie H. - Orlando, FL | Traveled to Tokyo | Japan | East and Southeast Asia
Japan is amazing but can be overwhelming if you don’t speak the language, and Heather made it effortless for us. She walked us through everything from train passes to hotel apps, and even sent restaurant recommendations with translations so we knew exactly what to order!
Heather Viking responded
"I’m so glad Japan felt effortless for you! Navigating train passes, hotel apps, and even menus can feel overwhelming, so I love taking the stress out with clear guidance and translation tips. Many know me as Heather Viking on TLN for my Viking Cruises expertise, but I’m also a full-service advisor for journeys like Japan. In fact, I’ll be traveling there soon myself—always learning more to help future clients on Viking with Executive Team. – Heather Viking | Diamond-Level Viking Expert on TLN"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
