Viking River Cruises Eliminates Fuel Surcharges
Dec.15.08
As fuel prices continue to decline, Viking is pleased to announce that
as of today it will suspend its daily fuel surcharge for all voyages
departing on or after January 1, 2009.
For 2009 bookings made prior to December 8, 2008, any fuel supplements
already paid will be refunded in the form of a shipboard credit for
the surcharge amount. For bookings made after December 8, no fuel
surcharge will be applied or charged. Should fuel costs make it
necessary in the future, Viking reserves the right to reinstate the
fuel supplement for all guests.
“During difficult economic times, this is a bright spot we are pleased
to pass along to our guests,” said Viking River Cruises Chairman
Torstein Hagen.
