Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards Giveaway features a Viking river voyage for a winner and one travel companion. The grand prize is an eight-day Châteaux, Rivers & Wine voyage sailing roundtrip from Bordeaux, France, with an approximate retail value of $35,772. 🚢
The package includes a Veranda Suite stateroom for two, five guided tours and the Silver Spirits Beverage Package for both travelers. Onboard meals, select beverages, entertainment and amenities are included, along with one complimentary shore excursion at each port of call.
Roundtrip Business Class airfare for the winner and companion is included from select gateway cities provided to the winner. Ground transfers to and from the ship are also part of the prize. Flights may include stopovers or connections.
The cruise and tours are subject to availability and change. If the Châteaux, Rivers & Wine itinerary is unavailable, the rules allow another itinerary of equal or lesser value in the same stateroom category or lower within the permitted travel period.
Expenses outside the stated package remain the travelers’ responsibility. These include applicable taxes, gratuities, personal charges, optional facilities and service fees, cabin upgrades, additional optional shore excursions, and pre- or post-cruise land extensions and accommodations. Transportation beyond the included airfare and transfers is also excluded.
The prize cannot be transferred or exchanged for cash. The winner and companion must travel together on the same dates and cruise itinerary, and both are responsible for obtaining the required travel documents.
