SABRE ADDS RIVER CRUISING TO INVENTORY

Sabre has announced that voyage inventory for Viking River Cruises is now available to all Sabre-connected travel agencies using Sabre Cruises or Sabre Cruises API. This is the first time Sabre has made river cruise content available for shopping and booking in Sabre Cruises. The addition of Viking River Cruises brings the number of cruise lines offered through Sabre’s cruise shopping and booking tools to 15 with more on the way, including AMA Waterways, Avalon and Windstar. Sabre Cruises offers agents quick and easy access to cruise lines’ systems for real-time, shopping and booking, 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week. The addition of Viking River Cruises gives agents the ability to bring diverse options, like river cruises, to their customers with the use of Sabre Cruise booking tools. The content is commissionable and all promotions are also available to agents. Viking River Cruises plans to add ocean voyages in 2015 and that inventory will also be available through Sabre Cruises.
