FOR 25 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:
DAILY PCR TESTING AND ON SHORE
LABORATORIES – Quick non-invasive saliva PCR
tests for all guests and crew will be conducted prior
to embarkation and up to daily throughout the
cruise itinerary through our network of dedicated
shore-side labs.
CONTACT TRACING DEVICES – All guests receive
a small contact tracing device to wear around their
neck or keep in their pocket.
AIR PURIFICATION – All our ships are already
equipped with independent air handling units
for each guest stateroom. Every ship in the fleet
has short-wavelength ultraviolet (UV-C) lights and
high-density filters, which will sanitise the air and
kill 99.99% of all airborne bacteria and viruses.
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.
PHYSICAL DISTANCING – When you embark
on a Viking voyage, you can expect physical
distancing measures to be in place in all public
areas on board, during shore excursions and
on board motor coaches, with face mask use in
keeping with local guidelines.
