How to prepare for the journey of a lifetime
IS A MEDICAL FORM NECESSARY? For itineraries that travel to the Arctic and Antarctica,
every guest must submit a completed Medical Assessment form and ensure their doctor
completes and submits a Health Evaluation form at least 30 days prior to voyage departure.
DO I NEED TRAVEL PROTECTION? For guests participating in a Viking Expeditions journey,
it is strongly recommended that each guest obtain suitable travel and/or flight insurance
before your travel. Viking is not responsible for any costs incurred due to medical issues.
VOYAGES TO ANTARCTICA AND THE ARCTIC PRESENT UNIQUE AND UNPREDICTABLE
CHALLENGES DUE TO THEIR REMOTE AND EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS Travel insurance
provides protection against unexpected disruptions, ensuring you are prepared for such
events and provides peace of mind throughout your journey. It is strongly recommended that
each guest also have Medical Evacuation Insurance coverage for a minimum of $250,000.
Expedition voyages visit locations where there are limited or no medical facilities. Although
our onboard medical centre has basic medications and equipment and is staffed by a qualified
physician and nurse, medical evacuation may be difficult or impossible.
