TravelManagers teams up with Viking for Mediterranean famil

Edited by Travel Weekly

A group of eight personal travel managers from TravelManagers’ took part in an eight-day famil cruise of the Western Mediterranean, hosted by Viking.

“Many of my clients have booked holidays with Viking in the past,” TravelManagers’ Donna Occhipinti said.

“And, although I already know it as a fantastic product, until now I had never experienced it for myself. The whole trip was wonderful, sharing it with a great group made it even more special.”

“As agents, we can do all the training, but it’s only by experiencing places and products for ourselves that we develop a true understanding of what’s on offer for our clients,” TravelManagers’ PTM Kim Mason added.

Occhipinti and her husband were accompanied on the famil by fellow PTMs, Bridget Frost, Emma Hill, Erryn Morris, Julianne Gazal-Rizk, Kim Mason, Penny Meallin, and Samantha Temple. She said the Rome-to-Barcelona itinerary called at many of the Western Mediterranean’s most popular ports, including Livorno, Monte Carlo, and Marseille, where they were free to choose from a variety of shore excursions.

Although not surprised by the calibre of Viking’s smiling, gracious crew and incredible onboard facilities, Meallin said she relished the opportunity to experience it for herself.

“This first-hand experience only enhanced all that I already thought Viking to be,” Meallin added.

“Our most memorable moment was a thrilling ‘Motorcycle Ride Through Provence’ guided tour, however, all of the shore excursions that we experienced were real highlights,” Donna said. “I am so grateful to have been given this famil opportunity, and to have shared it with my husband and such a fabulous group of travel professionals.

“My expectations were not only met but well and truly exceeded. This was a pretty fabulous famil, one that I am so thankful for the opportunity to experience.”
