A successful group begins with an itinerary, an anticipated sailing date, and a realistic timeline for everyone to commit.

01 / THE JOURNEY

Choose your starting idea.

What itinerary and sailing date are you considering? How flexible are your travelers?

02 / THE TIMELINE

Set a deposit target.

When do you intend to make the initial deposit? Ron will confirm availability and the applicable booking deadlines.

03 / THE PEOPLE

Get a realistic head count.

Estimate travelers and staterooms, discuss room pairings, and distinguish interest from readiness to book.

A shared effort

Clear responsibilities.
Better coordination.

The organizer

  • Gather interest and agree on the itinerary and dates.
  • Coordinate stateroom pairings and track who is ready to commit.
  • Share Ron’s confirmed information and remind guests of deadlines.
  • Direct every new traveler to Captain Ron before booking.

Captain Ron

  • Explain booking options, deposits, payment terms, and applicable fees.
  • Coordinate passenger and reservation details with the organizer and guests.
  • Help coordinate flight, dining, and other group requests with Viking.
  • Answer concerns and share relevant updates as plans develop.

Guests should provide sensitive passenger and payment information through the secure process Ron specifies, rather than a shared group list or ordinary email.

Keep everyone connected

Share the invitation.
Share Ron’s contact.

When inviting someone to join, share Captain Ron’s contact details along with the itinerary. Ask them to contact Ron before making a new reservation, so he can coordinate their plans with the group.

Coordinated bookings help Ron request linked reservations and align travel preferences. Shared flights, dining arrangements, and other requests depend on availability and supplier confirmation.

Captain Ron’s tip
One clear planning contact keeps a growing group easier to coordinate.
