Viking River | Viking Ocean | Viking Expedition
Choosing the itinerary is only the beginning. I help travelers navigate the decisions that shape the entire Viking experience, from choosing the right itinerary and stateroom to airfare, extensions, excursions, travel protection, and everything that happens before you step onboard.

Destination-focused. Adults only. Thoughtfully designed.
But with hundreds of sailings, different ships, stateroom categories, extensions, airfare options, excursions, and promotions, planning the right Viking journey can become more complicated than it first appears.
That is where I come in. I specialize in helping travelers understand their options, compare the tradeoffs, and build a Viking trip around the way they actually want to travel.
Sail directly into historic cities, charming towns, wine regions, and cultural centers throughout Europe and beyond. Viking River is ideal for travelers who want an immersive, destination-focused journey with a comfortable ship serving as their home along the way.

Explore Viking ExpeditionsA Viking reservation can involve much more than selecting a sailing.
The goal is not simply to get you booked. It is to make sure the pieces of your trip make sense together.
I help travelers turn a long list of choices into a calmer planning path, with education before commitment and personal support after the reservation is made.
I help explain the differences between itineraries, staterooms, airfare options, extensions, protection plans, and other decisions before you commit.
Your vacation does not begin when the ship leaves the dock. We can look at how flights, hotels, transfers, extensions, and your cruise fit together.
Instead of starting over every time you have a question, you have a personal point of contact who understands the decisions you have already made.
Travel does not always go exactly according to plan. When something changes, having someone familiar with your journey can make navigating the next steps easier.
Simple enough to feel clear. Thorough enough to catch the details that shape the trip.
Start with where you want to travel, when you would like to go, and what matters most.
We narrow the itineraries, staterooms, airfare strategies, and other decisions based on your priorities.
Once the cruise is selected, we continue with the flights, extensions, transfers, protection, excursions, and preparation that turn the sailing into a complete trip.

If you recently booked your Viking cruise directly with Viking and are not already working with another travel advisor, your reservation may be eligible to be transferred to me.
Your Viking reservation remains a Viking reservation. The difference is that you also gain a personal travel advisor who can help you navigate the planning decisions between booking and departure.
I am Mike Ward, a Viking-Certified Expert Travel Advisor and Viking Cruise Specialist with Mike & Amy Travel.
I focus on helping travelers understand the decisions behind a Viking cruise instead of simply telling them what to book. Rather than treating your cruise as a single transaction, I look at the complete journey: where you are going, when you are traveling, which itinerary fits you, where you should stay on the ship, how you are getting there, what happens before and after the cruise, and what could make the journey easier, more comfortable, or more meaningful.
