Viking 2027 8-Day Journey Sweepstakes 2026

The Viking 2027 8-Day Journey Sweepstakes gives one eligible entrant the opportunity to win an eight-day Viking cruise for two with roundtrip airfare. Depending on availability, the confirmed winner may choose from eligible river, Mississippi, ocean or expedition itineraries offered during Viking’s 2027 sailing season. The highest example prize value listed in the official rules is $26,988 USD.

About the Viking 2027 8-Day Journey Sweepstakes

The promotion is sponsored by Viking River Cruises, Inc. and administered by Marden-Kane, Inc. It opened on July 1, 2026 at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Time and is scheduled to close on September 30, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time.

No purchase, cruise booking or payment is required. Accepting a product offer or attending a Viking webinar does not improve an entrant’s chances of winning. Eligible participants may enter using an online form, an eligible Business Reply Card, a free webinar registration form or a form presented through an eligible Viking Facebook or Instagram advertisement.

What Can You Win?

One confirmed winner and one travel companion will receive an eight-day Viking cruise during the 2027 sailing season, including roundtrip airfare for two. The winner may choose an eligible itinerary from the available river, Mississippi, ocean or expedition options, subject to the sponsor’s availability and booking conditions.

• River journey: Paris Heart of Normandy or a similar itinerary, with an estimated value of $16,396 USD per cabin.

Who Can Enter?

Entrants must be at least 21 years old and must be permanent legal residents of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia or Canada. United States or Canadian citizens with a permanent address in one of those countries who currently live on an overseas United States or Canadian military installation may also qualify.

Entrants must be physically located within an eligible jurisdiction when entering. Residents of Quebec, Puerto Rico and all other United States territories and possessions are excluded. The promotion is void outside the United States and Canada and wherever prohibited.

Employees and directors of the sponsor, administrator and related promotion entities cannot enter. Their immediate family members and members of their households are also excluded under the official rules.

How to Enter

Official Online Form

Eligible entrants may visit the official Viking sweepstakes page and complete the entry form with their name, contact information and address. The entrant must accept the applicable terms and official rules before submitting the form.

Business Reply Card

People who receive eligible Viking promotional mail containing the designated Q3 2026 sweepstakes Business Reply Card may complete and return that card. The entrant must provide the requested name, address, email address and telephone number.

The card should not be placed inside an envelope, and the eligible card does not require postage. It must be received by October 8, 2026. This method is not a general postcard entry method; it is limited to recipients of the designated Viking card, which contains its own return address.

Webinar Registration

Entrants may register for a free Viking webinar using the official webinar page or an eligible invitation. Completing the webinar registration form provides an entry. The official rules state that actual webinar attendance does not improve the odds of winning.

Facebook or Instagram Form

Eligible users who encounter a Viking sweepstakes advertisement on Facebook or Instagram may follow its instructions and submit the associated form. Access to this method depends on receiving or viewing an eligible advertisement during the promotion period.

Entry Limit

Only one entry is permitted per person and email address throughout the entire promotion. The limit applies across all entry methods combined. Using the online form and then registering for a webinar, for example, does not create two permitted entries.

Entries containing incomplete or inaccurate information may be disqualified. Automated submissions and entries that do not comply with the eligibility or entry requirements are also ineligible.

Winner Selection and Odds

One potential winner is expected to be selected in a random drawing on or about November 6, 2026. Marden-Kane, Inc., the independent administrator, will conduct the drawing from the eligible entries received.

The odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible online, Business Reply Card, webinar and Facebook or Instagram entries received. Submitting an entry does not guarantee acceptance or selection.

Winner Notification and Verification

The potential winner will be contacted by email and/or telephone. The selected entrant must complete and return the required eligibility affidavit, liability release, prize-acceptance documents, travel releases and any applicable publicity or tax documents.

The completed documents must be returned within five days of attempted delivery, including weekends and holidays. A potential winner who cannot be contacted, misses the response deadline, does not provide the required documents or fails eligibility verification may be disqualified. An alternate potential winner may then be selected.

A Canadian potential winner must correctly answer a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question without assistance. A confirmed Canadian winner may also be required to complete a W-8BEN tax form.

Travel and Booking Conditions

The cruise must be completed during Viking’s published 2027 sailing season and is subject to space and itinerary availability. The rules state that reservations must be made no more than 120 days before departure. Available cruises, categories and dates may change.

Viking will select the airline, routing and applicable gateway airport for airfare booked through the sponsor. The winner and companion must travel together on the same itinerary. Once travel is confirmed, cancellation, restructuring or change fees are generally the responsibility of the winner.

Air tickets cannot be refunded, transferred, sold or redeemed for cash or credit. The prize and its components cannot normally be transferred, traded or exchanged for cash.

The winner and companion must obtain and pay for all required passports, visas, electronic travel authorizations and other identification documents. Failure to present the required documents at airline or cruise check-in may result in cancellation of the trip.

Taxes and Expenses

The winner is responsible for applicable federal, state, provincial and local taxes. The winner and companion are also responsible for expenses not specifically included in the prize.

Potential additional expenses include travel insurance, baggage charges, seat-assignment fees, transportation between the winner’s home and the applicable airport, laundry, beverages, unspecified meals, telephone calls, souvenirs, additional tips and other incidental expenses.

The actual value may vary according to the departure point, travel dates, airfare and selected itinerary. A winner will not receive the difference if the actual value is lower than the stated estimated value.

Important Information

Potential winners remain subject to eligibility and rules verification before the prize is awarded. The prize is expected to be fulfilled as a certificate approximately two to three weeks after the winner is confirmed.

Review the official Viking sweepstakes rules and the official promotion page before entering. The official rules control if any promotional summary or third-party listing differs from the sponsor’s current terms.
