About Me

Viking River, Ocean & Expedition Ships
Viking River, Ocean & Expedition Ships

As a dedicated Viking Specialist and long-time advocate for the Viking experience, I help clients explore the world in comfort through Viking’s award-winning river, ocean, and expedition journeys. Viking’s focus on culture, enrichment, and effortless elegance aligns perfectly with the type of meaningful, high-touch travel I curate for my clients.

I’ve personally sailed with Viking, partner closely with their Business Development Managers, and host Viking educational events in my community—giving me unique insight into itineraries, promotions, onboard experiences, and the little touches that make Viking a standout choice for luxury travelers 55+.

What Sets Me Apart as a Viking Specialist

  • Extensive Personal Viking Experience – Having sailed with Viking and supported dozens of Viking guests, I know the ships, staterooms, itineraries, and onboard experiences firsthand—from their exceptional service and curated excursions to the serene Scandinavian design that makes every sailing feel like home.
  • Expertise Across All Viking Travel Styles – River, Ocean, or Expedition—I guide clients to the format and itinerary that best fits their interests, mobility needs, and preferred pace of travel.
  • Insider Access & Exclusive Pricing – Through my agency partnerships, Viking training, and BDM relationships, I often secure exclusive rates, promotions, and perks not available online.
  • End-to-End White-Glove Support – I manage every detail, including air arrangements, pre/post extensions, transfers, insurance, packing guidance, specialty dining, and excursion planning—ensuring a seamless experience from the moment we start planning to long after you return home.
  • Community Engagement & Education – I regularly host Viking events—both in-person and virtual—to help travelers understand the unique benefits of each itinerary and cabin class, making the planning process both enjoyable and educational.

Specialties & Expertise

  • Viking River Cruises (Europe, Egypt, and beyond)
  • Viking Ocean Cruises (Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Scandinavia & more)
  • Viking Expedition Cruises (Antarctica, Arctic, Great Lakes)
  • Luxury pre/post cruise extensions
  • Group travel planning (clubs, organizations, affinity groups, multi-generational groups)
  • Custom extensions and land touringAir + transfer coordination
  • Concierge-level guest support

Why My Clients Choose Viking

My clients choose Viking because they want cultural depth, elegant simplicity, curated excursions, and an adults-focused atmosphere without the noise or crowds of larger ships. They choose me because I bring personal insight, professional expertise, and a high-touch planning experience tailored to their specific needs and interests.

Viking’s motto—“Exploring the World in Comfort”—is exactly what I strive to deliver for every traveler I serve.

Honeymoon (Planned Trip #2)
Reviewed By HanJHendo - Oak Ridge, TN | Traveled to Riviera Maya | Quintana Roo | Mexico
My honeymoon was everything I’ve ever dreamed of having. My husband and I couldn’t have been more thankful to have been able to experience what we experienced while we were in Mexico. Our resort was absolutely stunning; the food was incredible, the vibes were searched for having relaxation or night life was perfect, and the service was out of this world. Wonderful place to be and will highly recommended for those interested in any all inclusive ADULTS ONLY resort - Secrets Moxché Playa Del Carmen 10/10! All thanks to Trisha Brady and her incredible talent! Thank you so much again for helping my honeymoon be even more of a dream come true!

A vacay to relax…mission complete
Reviewed By JHM - Knoxville TN | Traveled to Cancun | Quintana Roo | Mexico
Trisha was great searching many adult all-inclusive resorts. I was looking for a great location and for a reasonable price. And wanted the entire trip in one package, Trisha found the best place. Me being picky, she match my wants and needs. I relaxed and enjoyed it so much I’ll have Trisha find me another one for next year! I was hesitant to use an agent, but glad I found Trisha. She will be doing all my trips from now on.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
