Club Cruise, a leading West Coast travel agency, has taken a significant step to enhance its service offerings by creating a new department exclusively for Viking Cruise travelers. This initiative underscores the agency's commitment to providing specialized and luxurious travel consultation services. The department is spearheaded by Heather Faith Huber, a notable figure in the luxury travel advisory space, recognized as a 30 Under 30 Luxury Travel Advisor's Rising Star. Huber's deep understanding of Viking river and ocean cruise offerings has been pivotal in driving the agency's recent success.
The agency has reported impressive growth figures, with a 44% increase in Viking River Cruises and a 61% increase in Viking Ocean Cruises sales over the last 18 months. This growth is attributed to the dedicated efforts of Huber's department, which has successfully attracted a high-end clientele and converted first-time passengers into repeat Viking travelers. The demand for Viking cruises is so high that more than 90% of the 2025 cruise inventory is already sold out, highlighting the importance of the department's role in securing remaining spaces and offering exclusive benefits like free airfare.
What sets this department apart is its team of Viking-certified agents who go beyond traditional booking services to offer personalized and comprehensive travel planning. Huber highlights the department's focus on building meaningful relationships with clients, who typically invest between $15,000 and $35,000 per journey. The department provides a range of unique services, including expert consultation, local concierge support, custom trip planning, and priority access to Viking cruise opportunities. As a President's Club member of the Travel Leaders Network and a long-standing partner of Viking Cruises, Club Cruise continues to set the standard for luxury travel experiences, offering exceptional service and value to its clients.
