Seven continents. Endless discoveries.

One Viking

Designed for curious travellers, our river, ocean and expedition voyages take you to the heart of captivating destinations on all seven continents. From Europe’s iconic waterways and the storied shores of the Mediterranean to the breathtaking Canadian High Arctic and stunning Antarctica, the Viking experience is singular, featuring destination-focused, culturally enriching journeys on board award-winning small ships with unparalleled service and comfort.

THE VISION

Ships designed for destination-focused voyages

When we launched our first river voyages in 1997, we wanted to offer the most unique and culturally enriching itineraries possible. Thus began a journey that has marked the rise of river sailing as the fastestgrowing travel segment. Soon our guests grew eager to journey with us on the iconic waterways of Europe —the Rhine, Main, Danube, Seine and Rhône Rivers —and farther afield to the Douro, Nile and Mekong Rivers. Since then, we have been doing what comes quite naturally to us —innovating the travel experience in a way that enriches and engages our guests —and along the way we have received many accolades from travellers and industry insiders alike. We are honoured by their consistent top ratings and high praises that have made us the world’s most award-winning river line.

At Viking, we believe we owe our success to our desire to build vessels that are carefully designed to connect our guests to local culture, with an understated interior elegance that never upstages the destination. In 2012, we introduced our innovative Viking Longships, designed to navigate Europe’s storied waters. Their agility allows them to dock in the heart of riverside cities and villages while providing a spacious onboard atmosphere, thanks to a patented design that maximises space and generous, open areas filled with natural light. Full-size verandas, true two-room suites and the most al fresco dining available bring destinations even closer. And with an enriching variety of events and activities on shore and on board, these state-of-the-art ships fully immerse you in local culture. Our Longships® have taken river voyages to a new level of sophistication and comfort.

But we did not stop there. In response to requests from our loyal guests, we applied the same small ship experience to the seas, launching our destinationfocused ocean voyages in 2015.

To create the unique Viking experience at sea, we have reimagined the vessel from the inside out, and have built the world’s most elegant fleet of sister ships. Our streamlined design creates a spacious and inviting home that connects you to the places you have journeyed so far to see. Designed to evoke a sense of comfort akin to a floating hotel, our ships boast a serene atmosphere with light-filled spaces and an understated elegance. With a veranda in every stateroom, the world’s beauty is close enough to touch. Throughout, the Scandinavian design of our ships celebrates our Nordic heritage: clean lines, colourful woven textiles and light woods that embodies the Viking spirit of discovery and connection to the natural world.

Celebrating our 25th anniversary with the launch of Viking Expeditions® in 2022, we now explore all seven continents with our new voyages to Antarctica, the Arctic and the Great Lakes. And in welcoming the Viking Mississippi, we ushered in a new era of modern river voyages to America’s heartland.

Viking was recently named Best River Cruise Operator and Best Luxury Ocean Cruise Operator at the 2025 Times and Sunday Times Travel Awards, Number One for Rivers and Number One for Oceans* at the Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Choice Awards, and Best Boutique Ocean Cruise Line at the 2025 Telegraph Travel Awards. These recognitions only strengthen our resolve to continue creating destination-focused experiences for curious travellers.

We hope you enjoy your journey —whether by river, ocean or lake.

OUR VIKING HERITAGE

Our ocean ships and enriching itineraries carry our Viking heritage forward, ushering in the next generation of exploration and discovery

During the great Viking Age, enterprising Norsemen established coastal trading settlements throughout Europe and navigated Russia’s rivers to access overland trade routes. They also launched ships west, sailing across oceans to settle in Iceland and Greenland and setting foot on North American soil in the 10th century, the first Europeans to do so. As shipbuilders, the Vikings were innovators whose designs evolved to accommodate their seafaring needs. The ships’ powerful hulls were constructed to ply open oceans while their manoeuvrability let them slip nimbly into small ports. Built for speed and endurance, Viking ships were recognised, respected and imitated the world over.

The success of the Viking era can be credited to a rich Scandinavian culture wedded to the sea. At Viking, we cherish our connection to these seafaring pioneers. Their spirit inspires everything we do, from the journeys we offer our guests to the innovative ships we build.

BUILDING UPON OUR RICH HISTORY

The simply designed ships of the Viking Age, which weathered the brunt of open ocean waters and easily manoeuvred into small ports, were carved from oak and other elements harvested from nature. The clean, streamlined designs of these earliest Scandinavian explorers are the inspiration for our own Viking river, ocean and expedition ships. Many of the materials that went into these elegant vessels were created by hand from nature, not by a mass production line. In proud Nordic tradition, our wood grains show their imperfections, giving you a feeling for their pure character. Natural stains, matte finishes and subtle accents of slate, teak and limestone exude warmth and a variety of textures. Colourful textiles are woven in true Scandinavian spirit. Onboard accents — from rugs and tapestries to window treatments — borrow from the beauty and patterns of the earliest Nordic artists and craftsmen from Norway to Iceland. And our open public spaces with vast windows bring

in natural light, whether solar, lunar or glow from the aurora borealis. With so much of the natural world living in our sister ships, we like to think that they could have been forged by the pantheon of Norse gods.

Driven by an insatiable spirit of discovery, the Vikings sailed to Europe’s farthest shores. That adventuresome spirit shapes the immersive cultural exploration infused in our shore excursions, enrichment lectures, entertainment and onboard cuisine. In addition, our itineraries follow in the Vikings’ wake, tracing many of their original trade routes, like those through the Baltic Sea and along Norway’s stunning coast...along the North Sea to France, the British Isles and Faroe Islands... across the Atlantic to Iceland, Greenland and North America...and deep into the Mediterranean Sea to the shores of southern Europe and northern Africa.

FOR THE THINKING PERSON TM

Experiences created for curious travellers

We all travel to explore, to learn, to understand. At Viking, we believe travel should be more than just a trip —it should be a doorway to cultural insight and personal enrichment. That is why our voyages are designed to help you explore and engage with your destination through its food, culture, countryside and customs.

Before you travel, we provide a variety of materials to help you plan and anticipate your journey, from filmographies that inspire wanderlust to recommended reading that informs and enlightens. Onboard activities are designed for enrichment and renewal. We offer lectures on history and art, cooking demonstrations of local favourites, menus offering regional cuisine and more. On shore, you might accompany the ship’s chef to a local market; go behind the scenes at a famous theatre company; tour a chocolate or car factory; or view a museum’s private collection. Even our ship interiors are designed to inform, with original Nordic artwork and libraries stocked with books specially selected by London bookshop Heywood Hill. Combined with public spaces that enable learning opportunities, our aim is to help you feel more connected —to newfound friends and the world.

SHIPS DESIGNED FOR EXPLORATION

Elegant river, ocean and expedition vessels that bring you closer to your destination

At Viking, we build innovative ships that are the right size for the experience — with a signature Scandinavian design that never upstages the destination.

INTIMATE RIVER VESSELS with all the amenities of an elegant boutique hotel, including an unparalleled choice of all-outside staterooms, expansive views from floor-toceiling windows and al fresco dining.

ENRICHING EXCURSIONS

Discovering another culture is a wondrous awakening. On a Viking voyage, you will have the opportunity to truly explore the best of your destination, from castles steeped in history to outdoor markets brimming with local colour. We deliver you to extraordinary shores — and invite you to experience them fully.

One of the best ways to get acquainted with your destination is through our shore excursion programme. With an included excursion in every port, expert local guides show you the must-see highlights and delightful surprises in their world. Or, follow your interests and explore in-depth with a wide variety of optional shore excursions, from walking food tours to after-hours museum visits.

THE FLAVOURS OF YOUR DESTINATION

Some say the best way to know a culture is through its food and wine. Our highly trained chefs are passionate about world cuisine and committed to providing a complete gastronomic experience. In our ships’ hospitable dining areas, our service is friendly, attentive and personalised, and our menus offer choices, from regional dishes to always available classics.

On river voyages, taste regional dishes in The Restaurant, dine al fresco on the Aquavit Terrace or attend our signature “Taste of…” events. Open seating makes it easy to meet new friends. At sea on our ocean and expedition ships, choose from multiple dining venues with sweeping views; sample assorted Norwegian smørbrød at Mamsen’s; try sushi at the World Café; or savour handmade pasta at Manfredi’s Italian Restaurant. Also on our ocean ships, enjoy afternoon tea at the Wintergarden, complete with a tea steward to educate you on the nuances of international blends.

While we always offer complimentary beer and wine at lunch and dinner, our Silver Spirits Beverage Package provides unlimited beverages at all onboard venues anytime throughout the duration of your voyage. For a daily fee, the package includes our house champagne, wine and beer, plus select premium wine, cocktails, aperitifs, a selection of upgraded whiskies and more.

OUR VIKING FAMILY

From the instant you plan your voyage, to the moment you return home, our staff take excellent care of you. Thanks to their attentiveness, Viking has more than 250 major awards to our name.

Our worldwide staff of more than 10,000 are fully committed to making your voyage truly unforgettable. With a Viking reservations agent, booking your journey is a pleasure. On board, your server learns your favourite wine and food preferences. Our Swiss-trained, Englishspeaking staff excel in superior service. We are so confident that we will exceed your expectations that we are the only passenger line to guarantee its awardwinning service.

THE VIKING WAY ®

Our included shore excursions provide an overview of must-see cultural and historic highlights, with some delightful surprises. These expertly guided tours bring you closer to the art, architecture, history and people that define your destination. Should you want to explore more, our wide selection of curated optional tours helps you delve more deeply into local culture and view your destination from a new perspective.

The Viking Way of exploration offers behind-the-scenes insights and opportunities that set us apart. While we feature the expected and iconic — such as visits to renowned museums and notable landmarks — we also work hard to offer our guests Local Life, Working World and optional Privileged Access® experiences opening doors to places otherwise difficult to visit.

Karine Hagen has travelled the globe to develop these Viking Way experiences, and has captured some of them in a series of inspiring Destination Insights videos. We invite you to view our video library at viking.com.

Karine Hagen is Executive Vice President, Product. At home in Norway, Switzerland, America and England, Karine loves sharing her worlds and insights with Viking guests. She is responsible for infusing our itineraries with The Viking Way, giving us all the opportunity to have these extraordinary experiences.

In her centuries-old home, Palazzo Tiepolo on the Grand Canal, local chef Contessa Passi teaches Karine how to make risi e bisi, a risotto of rice and peas, and fegato, a delicious dish of liver and onions.

RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL

Viking is committed to delivering a superior travel experience to our guests, and also to operate responsibly wherever our journeys take us. The communities we visit are at the core of the travel experience, and we seek to work with local individuals and companies, creating long-lasting mutually beneficial partnerships.

In addition to Viking’s direct contributions, our guests’ discretionary spending fuels local economies. Spending more time in port than traditional passenger lines, providing an included shore excursion in each port, and encouraging rather than deterring guests from bringing local food and drink on the ship increases the economic impact our port calls have.

Perhaps nothing exemplifies our approach better than the wall art that adorns many of our ships’ staterooms: Instead of meaningless hotel “art” by the metre, photographs of iconic sights and destinations all over the world are matched with drawings made by school children. This initiative, a joint effort with two rural Viking-sponsored schools in China has been expanded to include drawings from schoolchildren in Egypt and from communities along the Mississippi River.

TECHNOLOGY & THE ENVIRONMENT

At Viking, we are conscious of our responsibility to the environment and the regions through which we sail; thus, our ships are designed to the highest environmental standards. Our long-term success depends on our ability to develop programmes that meet or exceed both the global regulatory frameworks as well as local regulations in the most vulnerable areas we explore, such as the Arctic, Antarctica, Europe’s inland waterways, the Norwegian fjords or the Alaskan coast.

Our vessels, though dependent on shoreside infrastructure and supplies, operate as self-sustained entities, capable of providing electricity, water and waste treatment facilities. The careful management to minimise our environmental footprint is essential and all our vessels are designed to be environmentally responsible and efficient to operate. While each vessel class has specific operational characteristics, some key principles can be found across our entire fleet:

EFFICIENT USE OF SPACE Because every bit of added weight results in extra fuel consumption, we are careful to add to our ships only what is needed, prioritising optimal guest comfort and operational efficiency.

SLEEK HULL DESIGN Our ocean and expedition vessels have been designed with energy-efficient hulls, propellers and rudders to reduce resistance in the water and therefore reduce fuel consumption.

DIESEL-ELECTRIC PROPULSION—Virtually all our ships use diesel/electric propulsion technology, where a series of electric motors drive the ship propellers,

while the diesel engines act as a generator. Diesel-electric technology is also future-proof: with time, it will be easy to replace diesel engines with more sustainable technologies, such as batteries and fuel cells.

SHORE POWER The majority of our vessels can connect with shore power to reduce, where possible, reliance on fuel while in port. This allows operations with zero emissions and less noise. Our own docking facilities along Europe’s rivers are being equipped with rapid charging systems to further reduce reliance on diesel fuel.

ADVANCED RECYCLING AND WASTE MANAGEMENT

Our entire fleet is equipped with advanced waste- water treatment systems, ballast water treatment systems (ocean and expedition) and onboard trash compacting and recycling centres to minimise the generation of waste and enable responsible recycling in shore facilities.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES Across our fleet, other measures in place to reduce our environmental footprint include: low-energy LED lighting resulting in a lower heat output, lower power usage and a longer life; waste heat recovery systems that use the heat from the engines as a free source for heating water; intelligent HVAC systems that reduce power when rooms are not in use; and noise and light pollution reduction technologies, reducing our impact on local communities and landscapes.

The above-mentioned technologies, in combination with vessel-specific characteristics, allow us to deploy a fleet of very efficient vessels that meet or exceed environmental regulations across the world.

WHY VIKING IS BETTER VALUE

How do we do it?

• With a 100% small ship fl eet, Viking is the largest luxury cruise line *. This means we have considerable economies of scale in the building of vessels and the purchasing of goods and services for ongoing operations. Therefore, we can accommodate more guests with the same operating costs and pass that benefit on to our guests, in the form of lower prices.

• Our award-winning fl eet is the largest in the river cruise industry, by far. We also own and operate our ships and the best docking locations on the rivers of Europe. Our fleet of Viking Longships has a patented design which features three full decks— maximising space on board that otherwise goes unused on many competitor ships. Viking Longships also feature asymmetric corridors, which has allowed us to create true two-room suites.

• Our award-winning fleet of both ocean and expedition ships is designed to be space and energy-efficient, without onboard features like casinos and children’s areas. This creative design maximises space for guest rooms and reduces overall fuel costs.

Take an interactive tour of our Viking ocean ships

Expand your horizons on elegant, intimate ships, carefully designed to help you connect with your destination — from the serene Wintergarden, perfect for a calming cup of tea; to our Scandinavianinspired spa, a Nordic sanctuary of wellness; to the Explorers’ Lounge where you can share your latest adventures with fellow travellers.

Even the smallest details take their inspiration from the exploratory spirit of the original Vikings. Like our forebears, we have used light wood grains throughout the ship that show their natural beauty. Colourful textiles such as rugs and tapestries recall the patterns of early Norwegian artists and craftsmen. At The Nordic Spa, relax amid the soothing textures of natural Swedish limestone and fragrant juniper wood. In the Explorers’ Lounge, relax with friends amid cosy pelts, Turkish marble and amber, and pewter details in the bar — all inspired by the far-reaching trade journeys of Vikings.

We have no control over any such changes and you will be responsible for any additional charges that the relevant airline may levy in respect of checked-in luggage that exceeds any limits in such altered baggage allowance policy.

A3. WHAT IS INCLUDED AND EXCLUDED IN THE COST OF YOUR HOLIDAY

A3.1 The details of what is included in the cost of your holiday is set out in the individual tour package details in our brochure or on our website.

A3.2 Any further items or services purchased on board or through our online booking management system are not included in the costs of your holiday.

B. CHANGES AND CANCELLATION BY US

B1. IF WE CHANGE YOUR TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS BEFORE DEPARTURE

B1.1 We hope and expect to be able to provide you with all the services we have confirmed to you in our Confirmation Invoice and/or ATOL Certificate. On occasions changes do have to be made (for example due to river conditions such as high or low water levels, lock closures, local mooring restrictions or adverse weather conditions) and we reserve the right to make these. Most of these changes are minor.

However, if we consider them a “Significant Change” we will endeavour to advise you or your Travel Agent as soon as reasonably possible. A Significant Change includes, purely by way of example, a change of accommodation to that of a lower category and/or price, a change of flight or rail times of more than 12 hours, a change of UK departure location, or a significant change of destination or cruise itinerary. Where, due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, any vessel is unable to dock at a particular port detailed in any itinerary but an alternative port of call is provided, we will not ordinarily treat this as a Significant Change and the provisions of this clause B1 will not apply.

In accordance with EU regulations we are required to advise you of the actual air carrier operating your flight/ connecting flight/transfer. We do this by listing carriers to be used or likely to be used on the relevant brochure pages and/or on our website and/ or on your Confirmation Invoice and/or your ATOL Certificate. Where your Confirmation Invoice or ATOL Certificate indicates that flight tickets have not yet been assigned, we will notify you of the actual flights and carrier as soon as the flights have been assigned. Any changes to the actual airline after you have received your tickets will be notified to you as soon as possible and in all cases at check-in or at the boarding gate. Such a change is deemed to be a minor change.

B1.2 Save where clause H1 applies, if we have to make a Significant Change before your departure we will endeavour to contact you as soon as possible to advise you of any change and we will, if possible, provide you with three alternatives:

B1.2.1 alternative travel arrangements of equivalent or of very closely similar standard and price, if available; or

B1.2.2 alternative travel arrangements of a lower standard together with a refund of the difference in price; or

B1.2.3 cancel your travel arrangements with a full refund of all monies paid.

In all 3 cases, compensation will be paid as detailed in clause D1 below unless the change occurs as a result of circumstances beyond our control where clauses E1 and H1 will apply.

B2. IF WE CANCEL YOUR TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS

B2.1 In the unlikely event we need to cancel your travel arrangements we will tell you or your Travel Agent as soon as possible. However we will not cancel your travel arrangements less than 14 days before departure unless it is for a reason outside our control as provided in clause H1. If we have to cancel your travel arrangements we will provide you with three alternatives:

B2.1.1 alternative travel arrangements of equivalent or of very closely similar standard and price, if available; or

B2.1.2 alternative travel arrangements of a lower standard together with a refund of the difference in price; or

B2.1.3 cancel your travel arrangements with a full refund of all monies paid.

In all 3 cases, compensation will be paid as detailed in clause D1 below unless the change occurs as a result of circumstances beyond our control (in which case clauses E1 and H1 will apply) or we cancel as a result of your failure to pay your deposit or the balance or any other sum when due or where clause B2.2 applies.

BOOKING CONDITIONS

B2.2 We regret that some travel packages shown on our website or in our brochures can only be operated if a sufficient number of people book them. We will advise you at the time of booking if any travel arrangements are dependent on there being sufficient demand. If there is insufficient demand, we have the right to cancel the travel arrangements in question. If we have to do so, we promise we will tell you no later than 20 days prior to departure. In this situation, you will then have the choice of the options shown in clause B2.1 together with the option, if possible, of the same package departing on a different date. Where we cancel for lack of numbers in accordance with this clause B2.2, no compensation or other amounts (for example, the cost of any connected travel arrangements you have made independently) will be payable.

B3. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

Where, following a Significant Change or a cancellation by us, the options set out in either clause B1.2 or B2.1 are offered, you are expected to advise us within 7 days of being notified (or such longer period as we may specify in such notification) which proposal you wish to accept. If you have not notified us within 7 days (or such longer period as we may have specified) then we will write to you to obtain confirmation of your choice of the options available. If you fail to respond within a further 7 days, we will cancel your travel arrangements and refund all payments made by or on behalf of you.

C. CHANGES AND CANCELLATION BY YOU

C1. IF YOU CHANGE YOUR BOOKING

C1.1 If you want to change your travel arrangements in any way you or your Travel Agent must inform us in writing as soon as possible. We will try to help you, although we cannot guarantee that we will always be able to do this as changes are subject to availability at the time. Please note that typically changes to scheduled flight tickets are very restrictive and may not be possible without having to cancel the original flight and rebooking.

C1.2 Where we can make a change, we will charge for any additional services, facilities, or other items changed, at the price which applies on the day the change is made. In addition, we reserve the right to apply an administration charge of (1) £100 for each person on the booking where the request for change is made more than 30 days prior to departure and (2) £200 for each person on the booking in any other case together with, in each case, any further costs we incur, for example with our suppliers, in making any change.

C1.3 Any booking discount you may have received at the time your original booking was made may be altered or reduced whenever changes are made if such discount has since been altered, reduced or withdrawn.

C1.4 If you have paid supplements for accommodation and the number of people in your accommodation changes, you may have to pay extra. In addition you may lose any free group places.

C1.5 Any change to your departure date, airport, transport, destination, accommodation, or length of travel has to apply to all members of your booking.

C1.6 You may not change travel arrangements chosen from our brochures or websites to special offer packages such as those featured in any promotional publications, without incurring cancellation charges. Such a change would necessitate the cancellation of your existing arrangements (and be subject to our cancellation charges shown in clause D1) and the re-booking of new arrangements at the price applying on the day the booking is made.

C1.7 Any special offers, savings or promotions may not be combined with other special offers, savings or promotions.

C1.8 It is not usually possible to alter or cancel any travel insurance you may have obtained and your premium will not be refunded, as cover under the policy will already have begun once the policy has been purchased.

C2. IF YOU CANCEL YOUR BOOKING

C2.1 If you wish to cancel all or part of your booking, you or your Travel Agent must write to us. If some or all of your party cancel their booking, we are entitled to treat your booking as

cancelled in accordance with these Booking Conditions, we will levy a cancellation charge as provided in clause D1. These charges are based on the estimated cost of cancelling your arrangements and the reasonable expenses and losses we are likely to suffer if we cannot resell the package.

C2.2 If the reason for your cancellation falls within your insurance cover, you may be able to claim a refund of your cancellation charges from the insurance company less any applicable excess.

C2.3 If you or anyone included within your booking is unable to go for any reason or decides that he/she does not want to travel, you may transfer the whole booking or the place on the booking of the person(s) concerned to someone else/other people suggested by you and acceptable to us subject to the following:

C2.3.1 You must write to us with full details of who cannot or does not want to travel and who you would like to go instead. We must receive this information at least 7 days before departure;

C2.3.2 If the change can be made, you will have to pay any reasonable costs we incur or are asked to pay in order to make the change;

C2.3.3 Anyone who travels in place of anyone who was originally due to travel must agree to these Booking Conditions and any other requirements which apply to the booking before the change can be finalised. If the full cost of the travel arrangements should have been paid when the change is requested but has not been, this must also be paid before the change can be finalised;

C2.3.4 Scheduled airlines often do not allow any name changes within a certain period prior to departure and generally not at all after flight tickets have been issued. If you want or need to make a name change when an airline will not allow it, you will have to cancel the original flight (which means you will lose all the money you have paid for that flight) and pay the full cost of another flight (which may not be the original flight or at the same cost as the original flight as the airline is entitled to offer the cancelled flight to anyone on a waiting list for it). This is the airline’s decision and we have no control over it;

C2.3.5 It will not normally be possible to transfer bookings or places on bookings within the period of 7 days immediately prior to departure without cancelling the original booking (and thereby incurring cancellation charges pursuant to clause D1) and rebooking.

C2.4 The cost of your travel arrangements (provided that it includes a flight) includes an amount (currently £2.50 per person) which we are required to pay to the Air Travel Trust Fund as part of the ATOL Protection Contribution (“the APC Sum”). If you cancel your travel arrangements the APC Sum is not refundable in any circumstances.

C2.5 If any person on the booking cancels and you cannot fill that person’s place, you may have to pay additional supplements for your accommodation. For example, you may have to pay single or under- occupancy supplements.

C2.6 If you do cancel, you must still pay any amendment charges, which arose before the cancellation, and any deposits paid for any pre-booked items or services.

C2.7 Subject to clause C2.8, you have the right to cancel your holiday before departure without paying a cancellation charge in the event of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances occurring at your holiday destination or its immediate vicinity which significantly affects the performance of the holiday or which significantly affects transport arrangements to the destination. In these circumstances we shall provide you with a full refund of the monies you have paid but we will not be liable to pay you any compensation. For the purposes of this clause, examples of “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances” include warfare, acts of terrorism, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely to your destination.

C2.8 The right to cancel in clause C2.7 applies where the relevant unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances are or are reasonably likely to commence or continue during the

period of your booked holiday. In the circumstances Viking’s standard policy is that the right to cancel may not be exercised more than 30 days prior to your booked holiday commencing.

D. CHANGES, COMPENSATION AND DELAYS

D1. CHANGES AND CANCELLATION CHARGES

The following table sets out the sums payable to us or you in the event of Significant Changes or cancellation. These sums are not payable where we have to make a Significant Change or cancel your travel arrangements as a result of:

(a) matters outside of our control when clauses E1 and H1 shall apply; or

(b) where your booking was accepted “subject to availability” or similar and the travel arrangements are not available. In addition they do not apply where compensation is available under the provisions of clause D2

Period before departure in which notice of cancellation or Significant change is received

Change

The Cancellation Charges payable by you as set out above represent the maximum charges that we are contractually entitled to charge. We consider the reasons for cancellations and the likely level of loss that we are likely to incur on an individual basis. In the circumstances Cancellation Charges that are levied on you (if any) will vary from case to case and be based on our actual financial loss suffered, or likely to be suffered, having first made reasonable attempts to mitigate the same. The nearer the cancellation is to the date of departure, the higher the Cancellation Charges are likely to be as it will be more difficult to resell the cancelled package and any such resale may not be at the original price payable by you.

NOTE: “Total Price” means the total price payable by you for the travel arrangements excluding insurance premiums, flight upgrade charges and any fees payable for any changes made by you to your booking (“Additional Charges”). If you cancel (otherwise than pursuant to clause B) you will continue to be liable for the Additional Charges in addition to the Cancellation Charges set out above.

D2. DENIED BOARDING REGULATIONS & TRANSPORTATION DELAYS

D2.1 If any flight you have booked is cancelled or delayed, your flight ticket is downgraded or boarding is denied by your airline in circumstances which would entitle you to claim compensation against the airline under EC Regulation No 261/2004 – the Denied Boarding Regulations 2004, you must pursue the airline for the compensation due to you. All sums you receive or are entitled to receive from the airline concerned by virtue of these Regulations represent the full amount of your entitlement to compensation or any other payment arising from such cancellation, delay, downgrading or denied boarding. The fact a delay may entitle you to cancel your flight does not automatically entitle you to cancel any other arrangements even where those arrangements have been made in conjunction with your flight. We have no liability to make any payment to you in relation to the Denied Boarding Regulations or in respect of any flight cancellation or delay, downgrading of any flight ticket or denial of any boarding as the full amount of your entitlement to any compensation or other payment (as dealt with above) is covered by the airline’s obligations under the Denied Boarding Regulations. If your airline does not comply with these rules you should complain to the Civil Aviation Authority on 0330 022 1500 www.caa.co.uk.

D2.2 Unfortunately, flight or other transport delays sometimes occur. Depending on the length of the delay and surrounding circumstances, the carrier concerned should

BOOKING CONDITIONS

provide refreshments when and where appropriate. We are generally not in a position to provide any assistance in the event of flight or other transportation delays and cannot accept any liability except where expressly stated in these Booking Conditions or as otherwise provided in the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018.

D3. RIGHTS UNDER PACKAGE TRAVEL AND LINKED TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS REGULATIONS 2018

D3.1 In accordance with the Regulations, where it is impossible for you to return to your departure point on the return date of your “package” (as defined in the said Regulations) due to “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances”, we shall provide you with the necessary accommodation for a period not exceeding 3 nights per person. Where possible, this accommodation shall be of comparable standard to the accommodation booked by you under the package. For the purposes of this clause, examples of “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances” include warfare, acts of terrorism, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely to the destination.

D3.2 The limitation of costs for 3 nights accommodation referred to above does not apply to persons with reduced mobility as defined by Article 2 of Regulation (EC) 1107/2006, concerning the rights of disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility when travelling by air and any other person accompanying them and pregnant women as well as persons in need of specific medical assistance, provided you have notified us of their needs at least 48 hours prior to start of the package.

E.

LIMITATION OF OUR LIABILITY TO YOU

E1. If the contract we have with you is not performed or is improperly performed by us or our suppliers we will pay you appropriate compensation if this has affected the enjoyment of your travel arrangements.

However we will not be liable (and clause H1 will apply) where any failure in the performance of the contract is due to:

E1.1 you; or

E1.2 a third party unconnected with the provision of the travel arrangements and where the failure is unforeseeable or unavoidable; or

E1.3 unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised; or

E1.4 an event which we or our suppliers, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall.

E2. In addition to the provisions of clause H1, our liability, except in cases involving death, injury or illness, shall be limited to a maximum of 3 times the cost of your travel arrangements.

E3. Should you or any member of your party suffer illness, personal injury or death attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of the services, or as a result of failures due to unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised, or an event which we or our suppliers, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall, we will offer you such advice, guidance and assistance as is reasonable in the circumstances. Any such advice, guidance and assistance is provided in good faith but without liability on the part of Viking or its employees or agents.

E4. Our liability will also be limited in accordance with and/ or in an identical manner to:

E4.1 the contractual terms of the companies that provide the transportation for your travel arrangements which are incorporated into and form part of your contract with us; and

E4.2 any relevant international convention, for example the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of compensation that you can claim for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to luggage which are incorporated into and form part of your contract with us

and we are to be regarded as having all the benefit of any limitation of compensation contained in these or any other such conventions.

E5. Unless otherwise expressly indicated by us in writing, excursions, tours or other services that you may choose to book or pay for whilst you are away are not part of the travel arrangements provided by us. For any excursion, tour or other service that you book or pay for, your contract will be with the third party provider of the relevant excursion, tour or other services and it is your responsibility to check that the relevant excursion, tour or other service (including any fees payable) are suitable for your requirements. We are not responsible for the provision of any such excursion, tour or other services or for anything that happens during the course of its provision and this applies even where we have put you in touch with the relevant provider.

Where an excursion, tour or other service is booked through us, no refund will be available in the event of you subsequently being unable or choosing not to take part or benefit from the relevant service. This clause E5 applies even where a Viking representative accompanies you on any excursion, tour or during the provision of any other third party service.

E6. Where you have booked a “Cruise Only” holiday, we cannot accept any liability for the costs of flights or other travel arrangements in the event of changes being made to the scheduled departure or arrival times or locations of the cruise vessel.

E7. The provisions of clauses E1 to E6 inclusive are in addition to any other limitation of liability contained in these Booking Conditions.

E8. Nothing in these Booking Conditions affect any statutory rights that you may have under the relevant jurisdiction applicable pursuant to clause H8 (including any rights under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018).

F. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

F1. SPECIAL REQUESTS

If you have a special request, we will do our best to help, but we cannot guarantee it except as set out below. Please advise your Travel Agent or us (if booking direct) of your request at the time of booking and make sure that we are given as much detail as possible. If your special request is vital to your travel arrangements, it must be specifically agreed with us before or at the time you book. We promise to comply with any special request which we have specifically agreed and confirmed in writing. General confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to the supplier or the inclusion of a special request on your Confirmation Invoice or on the acknowledgement of your booking or any other documentation is not confirmation that the request will be met. Unless and until specifically confirmed in writing all special requests are subject to availability. If any additional cost is applicable, it will either be invoiced to you prior to your departure or should be paid for locally.

F2. YOUR DOCUMENTATION

F2.1 You are responsible for ensuring that you and all other persons included in the booking satisfy all passport, visa, travel insurance and health certificate requirements and we accept no responsibility for any refusal of travel or entry into any destination or for any liabilities, losses, delays or expenses incurred through any irregularity in such documentation. If you have any queries with regard to documentation and insurance requirements you must raise them with us or your Travel Agent well in advance of travel commencing. In the event we are asked to re-issue tickets that have been lost, destroyed or stolen and we agree to do so, any charges incurred as a result of this will be payable by you.

F2.2 Many of the airlines that provide the flight element of the arrangements we sell impose fines and costs on us if any passengers who have booked with us do not have the necessary travel or other documents for the countries they are visiting or passing through, even where this occurs through no fault of ours. In this situation we have no choice but to pass on to you all fines, costs, surcharges, financial penalties and other sums of any description which are imposed on or incurred by us. You will be responsible for reimbursing us accordingly in full.

F3. HEALTH PRECAUTIONS, PREGNANCY, DISABILITIES & FCDO ADVICE

F3.1 You are solely responsible for checking what vaccinations and other health precautions are required or are advisable for your chosen destination and journey with your doctor in good time before departure. You and each member of your group are responsible for ensuring that you have had all relevant vaccinations and are otherwise fit to travel. If you have any doubts or require any information then you must contact well in advance of travel commencing. Please note that whilst we will endeavour to assist anyone who becomes ill whilst on board any vessel, any health care facilities are limited and we cannot be expected to provide any inoculations or specialist health care whilst on board.

F3.2 Individual airline policies differ in respect of air travel when pregnant. In addition, given the nature of our ocean cruises and the facilities available on board, we do not allow passengers to embark the vessel where they are more than six months pregnant. If you or any member of your gr oup is or becomes pregnant prior to the start of your travel arrangements, then you must inform us immediately so that we can advise whether or not travel will be possible and, if so, what arrangements may need to be put in place and/ or what medical confirmation of fitness to travel may be required. We cannot be responsible for any losses suffered where we are not informed of any pregnancy well in advance of departure and/or if any airline refuses to accept you or any member of your party as a passenger for reasons of pregnancy.

F3.3 You must provide us with full details of any existing dietary requirements, medical problem or disability or other special needs (including impaired mobility or the need to use any wheelchair, mobility scooter or walking frame) that may affect your travel arrangements (including, in particular, any accommodation requirements) at the time of booking. If in our reasonable opinion, your chosen travel arrangements are not suitable for your medical problem or disability or other special need or you are not travelling with someone who can provide all assistance you may reasonably require, we have the right to refuse to accept the booking. If you do not give us full details of your medical problem or disability or other special need at the time of booking, we can also cancel the booking when we find out the full details if in our reasonable opinion the travel arrangements are not suitable or you are not travelling with someone who can provide all assistance reasonably required. If we cancel in this situation, cancellation charges as set out in clause D1 must be paid by the person concerned. Please also note the additional requirements and information set out in clause H10 that apply in respect of our Expedition Cruises. For further information please also see our advice section for Passengers with Health Issues, Disabilities, Impaired Mobility or Other Special Needs at the end of these Booking Conditions and/or contact our Guest Services team on 020 8780 7900 or 0800 319 66 60.

F3.4 We reserve the right to deny embarkation or remove any person from a vessel or optional shore excursion who in our reasonable opinion or in the opinion of the vessel’s Master is not fit to travel, and/or has not received written confirmation from us that reasonable adjustments can be made to cater for any particular requirements. In such cases, all related expenses, (including those incurred by the relevant person, or anyone travelling with him or her, in returning home) will be borne by the relevant passengers and they shall not be entitled to any refund or any other compensation whatsoever and we shall have no further liability to them. In addition, we may disembark at any port any passenger who may be suffering from any contagious or infectious disease or whose presence, in the opinion of the vessel Master, may be detrimental to the comfort or safety of other passengers or the crew, or who, in the vessel Master’s opinion, might be excluded from landing at any destination by Immigration or other Governmental Authorities.

F3.5 We reserve the right at any time (including after departure) to introduce additional health and safety policies and procedures to control the risk of the spread of any infectious disease. Please note that this may include a requirement that passengers have had appropriate vaccinations prior to embarkation and/or agree to submit to regular testing for symptoms and/or agree to isolate

BOOKING CONDITIONS

themselves whilst on board. Failure to adhere to such health and safety policies and procedures may result in you being denied embarkation or being required to disembark and we shall be entitled to treat such failure to adhere to our policies and procedures as a cancellation of your booking and no compensation or other refund shall be payable. We will endeavour to provide as much notice as possible of any additional health and safety policies and procedures that may need to introduced but, in certain circumstances, this may not always be possible. Please also note that any health and safety policies and procedures introduced will be in addition to any requirements imposed by ports that are visited during the cruise.

F3.6 The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (“FCDO”) produces a wide range of material about overseas countries including details of political unrest, crime and health issues. If you have any particular concerns then you should refer to the FCDO website at https://www.gov. uk/government/organisations/ foreign-commonwealthdevelopment-office.

F4. INSURANCE

F4.1 You must take out insurance suitable for your needs before you travel. We cannot be held responsible for any costs you incur as a result of failing to do so.

F4.2 If you participate in sports and activities whilst travelling that have been organised and arranged independently of us, it should be understood that participation is at the individual’s own risk and it is your responsibility to obtain the relevant insurance.

F4.3 UK residents or citizens must be aware that following the UK’s departure from the EU, the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) will, or may, no longer cover UK residents or citizens whilst travelling within the EU. In the circumstances, if UK residents or citizens travel without separate travel insurance (as required by F4.1), they will be responsible for all associated medical, hospitalisation, repatriation and other costs incurred as a result of illness or accident whilst travelling in the EU.

F4.4 In respect of our additional insurance requirements relating to Expedition Cruises, please see clause H10.

F5. BEHAVIOUR

F5.1 You must be responsible for the behaviour of yourself and your party and must at all times ensure that you and your party comply with the vessel’s rules and regulations, any orders and directions of the vessel’s Master, officers and medical staff (as applicable) and that your conduct will not impair the safety of the vessel or jeopardise or inconvenience other passengers. We can refuse to accept you as a customer or refuse to continue dealing with you and/or any other member of your party by terminating your travel arrangements if behaviour is, or is likely to be, in our reasonable opinion, or in the opinion of any airline pilot, vessel Master or other person in authority, disruptive, upsetting or dangerous to yourself or anyone else or if you or any member of your party have caused or are likely to cause damage to property. We will not pay any refund, compensation or other sum whatsoever or any costs or expenses incurred by you if we have to terminate your travel arrangements due to such unacceptable behaviour. In this situation we will then have no further responsibility for you or any other member of your party (including any return travel arrangements). If your unacceptable behaviour means you are not allowed to board your outward flight we will treat your booking as cancelled from that moment and you will have to pay cancellation charges (see clause D1).

F5.2 With regard to any flights and/or cruises that form part of your travel arrangements the airline captain or vessel Master (as applicable) has authority over the aircraft/vessel and passengers at all times when they are boarding or on board. He/ she may prevent you or any member of your party from travelling if you or such member are considered unfit to do so, or if you or such member pose a danger to the aircraft/vessel or passengers. In such circumstances we shall seek compensation from you for any losses caused by your behaviour or by the behaviour of any member of your party (e.g. the cost of diverting an aircraft or vessel). Disruption on board an aircraft or vessel is a criminal offence, and you may be prosecuted. If you are refused carriage on an aircraft

because of your disruptive behaviour, or you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, your airline may pass on your details and the date of the refusal of carriage to other airlines for their information. This in turn may make it difficult for you or others in your party to book other airline tickets.

F6.

ASSISTANCE IF YOU GET INTO DIFFICULTIES

If you or any member of your party suffers during the course of your holiday any difficulty as a result of any activity which does or does not form part of your contracted travel arrangements, we will offer you prompt assistance without undue delay. Such assistance may include assisting you in making communications and helping you find alternative travel arrangements. If the difficulty is caused intentionally by you or as a result of your negligence, we may charge a reasonable fee for that assistance which will not exceed the actual cost incurred by us. All assistance (financial or otherwise) is subject to our reasonable discretion and subject to you notifying us promptly of your need. If you are entitled to have any costs and expenses arising from such an incident met by or from an insurance policy or if you recover any costs and expenses relating to the incident from a third party you must repay us for costs and expenses we have incurred in assisting you.

POLICY

F7. ALCOHOL

Please note that you must be aged 21 or over in order to purchase or consume alcoholic beverages whilst on board our vessels. Silver Spirit packages (or similar arrangements for the supply of alcohol on board) can only be purchased where both occupants of the relevant cabin or stateroom are over the age of 21 and each occupant must purchase the relevant package for the full duration of the cruise. Proof of age may be required at any time and breach of this policy may result in persons involved (whether in the purchase, supply or consumption) being removed from the vessel pursuant to the provisions of clause F5.

G. IF YOU HAVE A COMPLAINT

G1. If you have cause for complaint whilst travelling, you must bring it to the attention of the Viking representative on board the cruise vessel or at your hotel. If your complaint is not resolved locally, please follow this up within 28 days of your return home by writing to our Guest Services team at Viking, Nelsons House, 83 Wimbledon Park Side London SW19 5LP or by email to customerservices@viking.com giving your booking reference and all other relevant information. Please keep your letter/email concise and to the point. This will assist us to quickly identify your concerns and speed up our response to you. It is strongly recommended that you communicate any complaint to the supplier of the services in question as well as to our representative without delay and complete a report whilst on board or at the relevant hotel. If you fail to follow this simple procedure we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint whilst you are on board and this may affect your rights under this contract.

G2. We are a member of ABTA, membership number V924X and are obliged to maintain a high standard of service by ABTA’s Code of Conduct. We certainly hope that we can settle any complaints amicably. However, should this prove not to be the case you may refer any dispute to arbitration through ABTA’s arbitration scheme. The scheme provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability for you in respect of costs. The scheme is subject to certain financial limits on the amount that can be claimed as determined from time to time by ABTA. Please note that the scheme does not apply to claims which are solely in respect of physical injury or illness or their consequences, although claims which include an element of minor injury or illness can be considered subject to a limit as set from time to time by ABTA on the amount the arbitrator can award per person, in respect of this element.

G3. Any application for arbitration under clause G2, together with any related statement of claim, must be received by ABTA within eighteen months of the date of return. Outside this time limit arbitration under the scheme may still be available if we agree, but the ABTA Code does not require such agreement. For injury and illness claims, you may like to use the ABTA/Chartered Institute of Arbitrators Mediation Procedure. This is a voluntary scheme

and requires us to agree for mediation to go ahead. The aim is to help you resolve your dispute in a quick and cost effective way. Details are available on request or from www.abta.com.

H. MISCELLANEOUS

H2. YOUR FINANCIAL PROTECTION

H2.1 When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday from us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists the flight accommodation car hire and/or other services that are financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong.

H2.2 We, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so due to reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought, or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances, the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable).

H2.3 If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme.

H2.4 We are also a member of ABTA (ABTA number V924X). If your travel arrangements do not include flights, ABTA will financially protect your travel arrangements in the same way except that, if already abroad, you will be returned to the point where your contracted arrangements with us commenced.

H7. USE DISPLAY OF IMAGES & LIKENESSES

Viking shall have the exclusive right to include photographic, video and other visual portrayals of our guests in any pictorial medium of any nature whatsoever for the purpose of trade, advertising, sales, publicity or otherwise, without compensation to you, and all rights, title and interest therein (including all worldwide copyrights therein) shall be the sole property of Viking, free from any claims by you or any person deriving any rights or interest from you.

We both agree that any dispute, claim or other matter of any description (and whether involving personal injury or not) which arises out of or in connection with your booking or travel must be dealt with under the ABTA Arbitration Scheme or brought in the Courts of England and Wales only (unless you are a resident of Scotland or Northern Ireland in which case any proceedings must be brought in either the Courts of your own country or those of England

and Wales). We both also agree that English law (and no other) will apply to your contract (unless proceedings are brought in Scotland or Northern Ireland, in which case Scottish or Northern Irish law, as applicable, will apply instead). If this provision is not acceptable to you, you must tell us at the time of booking.

H9. CONDITIONS OF CARRIAGE

When you travel by air, rail or by sea, your journey may be subject to certain international conventions such as the Warsaw Convention, Montreal Convention the Berne Convention or Athens convention. You agree that the transport company’s own Conditions of Carriage will apply to you on that journey. When arranging this transportation for you, we rely on the terms and conditions contained within these international conventions and those ‘Conditions of Carriage’. You acknowledge that all of these terms and conditions form part of your contract with us as well as the transport company. You can ask us to provide you with a copy of any of the conditions applicable to your journey. These may limit or exclude liability, especially in respect of lost or delayed baggage.

H10. ADDITIONAL PROVISION RELATING TO CRUISES MARKETED AS “EXPEDITION CRUISES”

In this clause H10, the terms:

“Expedition Cruise” means those cruises marketed by us as “Viking Expedition Cruises” which cruises may involve travel to remote locales, including, but not limited to, the Arctic or Antarctic regions.

“Fit to Travel Letter” means a personal medical questionnaire to be completed by both the Passenger and a qualified medical advisor in a form as prescribed by us and which will be required to be submitted to us (including any updates in respect of the same) prior to you be permitted to travel.

H10.1 INSURANCE

10.1.1 Save where clause H10.1.3 applies, we require all passengers to provide written evidence, prior to departure, that they have in place suitable insurance cover that will cover emergency medical treatment, evacuation and repatriation from the areas to be visited by the relevant cruise. Such cover for emergency medical treatment, evacuation and repatriation must have a limit of indemnity of not less than £250,000. or such alternative level as we may reasonably require. Proof that such insurance cover is on risk will normally be required to be produced to us not less than 12 months prior to the date of departure or, if departure is due less than 12 months after booking, then prior to your booking being confirmed. If you advise us at least 12 months prior to departure that insurance cannot be obtained for you or any member of your group purely on medical or disability grounds, then, unless clauses H10.1.3 applies, you may cancel your booking (but unless otherwise agreed by us so far only as it relates to the relevant individual who is unable to obtain cover) and receive a refund of monies paid in respect of such individual.

10.1.2 You must advise us without delay of any withdrawal of insurance cover (or any circumstances that can reasonably be expected to result in such withdrawal or the policy otherwise being avoided by the insurers) that occurs prior to departure. Immediately prior to departure we may require evidence that insurance cover as required under clause H10.1.1 remains in force and if evidence cannot be produced then, unless clause H10.1.3 applies, we may cancel the booking (whether in total or just in respect of the relevant individual) in which case Cancellation Charges may be levied under clause D1.

10.1.3 We may, in our reasonable discretion, waive the requirements in clauses H10.1.1 and H10.1.2 but such waiver is only likely to be given where an individual who is unable to obtain the required insurance cover is able to provide evidence of alternative financial security that will cover, in full, the reasonably foreseeable costs of emergency medical treatment, evacuation and repatriation. Instances of a waiver of the above conditions are likely to be rare and passengers should discuss individual circumstances with us as soon as they become aware of the same as, if insurance cover is unavailable, it is likely that the relevant passenger should not be travelling on an Expedition Cruise.

10.1.4 Where we intend to cancel an individual’s booking under this clause H10 you will be given the opportunity to transfer that individual’s place on the booking to someone else suggested by you and clause C2.3 shall apply in respect of any such transfer. Please note where an individual’s booking is cancelled under this clause H10 and you cannot fill that person’s place, you may have to pay additional monies by way of single or under-occupancy supplements.

H10.2 ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF INCREASED RISKS

By making a booking with us for an Expedition Cruise you and all members of your group acknowledge that:-

(1) the nature of the cruise is such that it comes with additional risks and dangers above and beyond those of other more mainstream cruises, such as, by way of example only, a greater likelihood that you will be exposed to extreme weather conditions or other unpredictable forces of nature (including the behaviour of animals), a greater likelihood that you will be required to exert yourself physically or psychologically, that you will travel to remote regions far from medical services (including regions where is it difficult or even impossible to carry out medical evacuations by helicopter or other means), and that equipment may malfunction in remote locations;

(2) you recognise the increased risks of travelling on an Expedition Cruise and the increased possibility of injury to yourself or your property, and the resulting consequences;

(3) the reason, at least in part, of your travel on an Expedition Cruise is because of the excitement and enjoyment provided on Expedition Cruises resulting from, at least in part, the increased risks inherent in an Expedition Cruise;

(4) Expedition Cruises may not be able to offer the same services and accommodation standards as other more mainstream cruises and that you may be subject to greater restrictions on what you may bring on board; and

(5) the pricing of your ticket for an Expedition Cruise is based on your assumption of the inherent increased risks of an Expedition Cruise.

H10.3 FITNESS TO TRAVEL

By making a booking with us for an Expedition Cruise you and all members of your group acknowledge that:-

(1) embarkation on the vessel will constitute a warranty from each passenger that, save as may have already been disclosed to us in writing, he or she has no physical or psychological condition which entails an unreasonable increased risk to the health or safety of persons on board or to the conduct of the Expedition Cruise;

(2) if we become aware of any such condition, we may cancel the booking or deny boarding (whether in total or just in respect of the relevant individual and including denial of boarding at any port) in which case Cancellation Charges may be levied under clause D1;

(3) in order to travel on an Expedition Cruise, you and all members of your group will be required to (i) provide to us a Fit to Travel Letter approximately 6 months prior to departure (or immediately after booking if you book travel on an Expedition Cruise within 6 months prior to departure); (ii) inform us in writing of any changes to the answers to any items on the Fit to Travel Letter at least 30 days before departure and also at the point of embarkation, and (iii) alert us immediately after you become aware of any changes to any answers to any items on the Fit to Travel Letter after embarkation;

(4) we are not medical advisors and that, notwithstanding the provision to us of any medical information relevant to an Expedition Cruise and/ or you being allowed to embark, such does not constitute any medical advice from us as to the advisability or safety of you participating in an Expedition Cruise or any activities related to an Expedition Cruise; and

(5) you and each member of your group must rely solely on the advice of his or her medical practitioner as to the advisability or safety of participating in an Expedition Cruise or any activities related to an Expedition Cruise.

BOOKING CONDITIONS

YOUR KEY RIGHTS UNDER THE PACKAGE TRAVEL AND LINKED TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS REGULATIONS 2018

General

ADVICE FOR PASSENGERS WITH HEALTH ISSUE, DISABILITIES, IMPAIRED MOBILITY OR OTHER SPECIAL NEEDS

At Viking we want all our passengers to have a safe and enjoyable cruise. Whilst we will always look to make reasonable adjustments for those with specific dietary requirements, health issues, disabilities, impaired mobility or other special needs that may affect their fitness to travel, or ability to make full use of our on board facilities or undertake shore excursions, we are reliant on passengers informing us well in advance of any such matters.

We must be provided with full details of any such issues, including details of those travelling with the relevant passenger who can provide assistance, prior to booking so that we can advise the relevant passenger whether or not the relevant cruise will be suitable and/or whether reasonable adjustments can be made.

Where such issues arise after your booking has been made we must be advised immediately so that we can establish whether or not any reasonable adjustments are required and can be made such that the relevant booking can proceed.

Please note we cannot guarantee that we will always be able to accommodate any required adjustments as any adjustments will be dependent on the particular cruise vessel and the proposed destinations.

Passengers need to be aware that there are inherent risks associated with travelling aboard ships that are unique to cruise tour travel.

For people who are ill, or have a disability or impairment, the risks can be more significant. Guests must normally be able to independently move around the ship in case of an emergency, rough seas, deal with the lack of immediate access to medical services in certain parts of the world, and acknowledge that access to some areas of the ship and ports of call may be limited or impossible. We must reserve the right to determine whether a guest is fit to travel, and to deny boarding or require disembarkation in the event that a guest represents a risk to themselves or to the safety and wellbeing of those on board the ship. The decision of the ship’s Master shall be final in respect of such decisions.

Accessibility and Special Needs

Where passengers have any mobility or other special needs please contact our Guest Services team on 020 8780 7900. We may require the completion of a medical or accessibility form by you and/or your doctor to establish the full extent of your likely needs and the extent to which you may require medical or other assistance during the cruise.

If a passenger requires the use of a wheelchair or other mobility equipment, normally this must not exceed 22” in width. Passenger must bring and be solely responsible for all necessary items related to any medical condition or mobility challenge.

Airport, Port & Excursion Accessibility and Limitation

Some ports of call may have physical conditions which may preclude certain passengers from going ashore. Additionally, for cruise tours in China, on the Mekong River, in Egypt, in Ukraine and for other destinations not specifically noted, certain additional conditions, restrictions and limitations exist on board, at the ports, during excursions and on land that are beyond Viking’s control.

Ship and airport access in these and other regions, including lack of wheelchair, walker or scooter accessibility, extended periods of standing and steps, are inherently present in tours that may not be appropriate for guests with certain medical conditions and/or physical impairments.

Airports in certain regions typically do not have ramps or elevators.

Excursions sometimes visit ancient sites with uneven terrain and stairs and may include extended periods of walking over uneven surfaces. Guests using wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, crutches, or other mobility aids or who may need physical assistance throughout the trip should consider these needs when making a booking as our onboard personnel are not required to perform personal tasks or assist with eating, dressing, toileting, lifting or pushing a wheelchair.

Motorized scooters typically cannot be taken on board planes in certain regions because authorities such as the China Aviation Administration forbid any battery of capacity greater than 160Wh (most scooter batteries) on board an aircraft. Additionally, lithium batteries cannot be placed in checked baggage and must be hand- carried as on board carry-on. All batteries must have the capacity clearly printed on the outside or they will not be allowed to be on board. To calculate your battery capacity if it is only marked in mAh, divide the mAh number by 1000 and multiply by 3.7. For example, a capacity of 10400mAh./1000=10.4Ah× 3.7v=28.48 Wh (under the limit of 160Wh).

Ship Access

Due to the nature of some ships (including cabin sizes), certain cruise tours are not appropriate for travellers who use wheelchairs, walkers or scooters. To embark/disembark from the ship, guests may have to walk down/up steps and ramps without a walker or wheelchair, as gangways/ramps may not be wide enough to accommodate these items.

Not all ships have elevators, and some have split-level decks and/or significant thresholds. Please note that personnel are not required to lift guests or push wheelchairs.

Potential guests with any mobility or other special needs should review their proposed ship’s layout on our website and consider their needs when making a booking.

Denial of Embarkation and Right to Require Removal

Please note that in accordance with our Booking Conditions, we reserve the right to deny embarkation or remove any person from a ship or optional shore excursion who in our reasonable opinion or in the opinion of the ship’s Master is not fit to travel and/or has not received written confirmation from us that reasonable adjustments can be made to cater for any particular accessibility requirements.

In such cases, all related expenses, (including those incurred whether by the relevant person or anyone travelling with him or her in returning home) will be borne by the relevant passengers and they shall not be entitled to any refund or any other compensation whatsoever and we shall have no further liability to them.
