Protocols and procedures continuously evolve to adapt to changing regional conditions and travel regulations across global destinations where Viking River Cruises operates. Please check this page regularly for current guidelines under the Viking Health & Safety Program.
Viking Longships and river vessels are designed with dedicated public health features supporting a clean environment. The fleetwide sanitization program includes regular, deep disinfection of public spaces, lounges, and high-touch areas using hospital-grade, eco-friendly sanitizing solutions. Hand hygiene stations are visible and accessible throughout the ship, particularly at the entrance to all onboard dining areas.
Staterooms and indoor public spaces on Viking river vessels are serviced by climate control systems that maximize fresh air circulation. Onboard air-handling setups utilize multi-stage commercial filtration boundaries to continuously clean indoor air, preventing cross-circulation of air between staterooms and maintaining a comfortable indoor climate.
Viking encourages guests to prioritize health and well-being. While general public health mandates or routine testing rules are not required to board river ships, staying up to date on routine vaccinations ahead of departure as advised by a personal healthcare provider is recommended.
Guests should review specific entry requirements for countries along their river itinerary, as certain international destinations enforce localized entry guidelines. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and international health agencies provide baseline reference guidelines.
Viking strongly recommends purchasing a comprehensive Travel Protection Plan to safeguard vacation investments against unforeseen circumstances before or during a trip, including emergency medical expenses, trip interruptions, and emergency medical evacuation or repatriation. Viking offers a comprehensive Travel Protection Plan administered by Trip Mate (a Generali Global Assistance & Insurance Services brand).
Travel Documentation: Guests are responsible for securing, verifying, and bringing valid travel documents - including passports, visas, or regional entry forms - required by all countries along their river cruise route.
