FOR MORE THAN 24 YEARS, Viking has
had the highest standards of health and
cleanliness, and our new, updated protocol
enhancements make travelling with Viking
even safer Developed in coordination with an
international team of scientific and medical
advisors, the Viking Health & Safety Program
is one of the most well-researched and
comprehensive COVID-19 prevention and
mitigation plans in the travel industry
VIKING'S SAFETY-FIRST APPROACH:
PCR testing and dedicated PCR laboratories –
As the first cruise line to install a full-scale PCR
laboratory at sea, Viking has now extended this
to every one of its ocean vessels This means
we can conduct quick, non-invasive saliva PCR
tests every day if necessary, testing crew and
guests in the privacy of their staterooms and
processing the results on board Everyone
will be tested prior to embarkation, and local
partners – including motor coach drivers and
tour guides – will be tested before any tours
Contact tracing devices – All guests receive
a small contact tracing device to wear around
their neck or keep in their pocket
Improved air purification – All Viking ships
now feature short-wavelength ultraviolet
(UV-C) lights and new high-density filters that
sanitise the air and kill 99 99% of all airborne
bacteria and viruses Plus, enjoy fresh air in
your stateroom, knowing that all staterooms
on Viking ocean ships feature independent air
handling units that do not share air with other
areas of the ship
Health checks – All guests will complete a one-
minute digital Health Questionnaire developed
by scientific and medical advisors prior to travel,
at embarkation and every day of their cruise
itinerary Temperatures will also be checked
regularly using touchless thermometers and
automated thermal cameras
