THE THINKING PERSON’S CRUISE 

Created for curious travellers, with true explorer spirits 

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 cruise itineraries are designed to help you explore and engage with your destination through its 

food, culture, countryside and customs. 

BEFORE you travel, we provide you with 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 the thinking traveller seeking enrichment and renewal. 

Instead of casinos and waterslides, we offer world-class lectures on history and art, tastings 

of vintage wines from your destinations, restaurant menus inspired by local cuisine and other 

opportunities to share your region’s culture with fellow travellers. 

ASHORE, you might accompany the ship’s chef on a visit to a local market; step behind the scenes 

at a famous theatre company; tour a chocolate or car factory; or view private collections and hidden 

vaults at world-class museums. 

CONNECT with like-minded travellers on board our ships, designed with a comfortable intimacy to 

encourage lifelong friendships and an ease of discovery that larger ships cannot offer. By journey’s 

end, our aim is to help you feel more connected — to your newfound friends and the world.

Did you 

KNOW? 

VIKING IS 

the world’s largest 

SMALL SHIP CRUISE LINE 

This is one absolutely beautiful ship. 

Different from anything else at sea.” 

– Carolyn Spencer Brown, Editor in Chief, Cruise Critic 

STOCKHOLM ARCHIPELAGO, SWEDEN

SHIPS BUILT FOR 

DISCOVERY

THE SMALL SHIP EXPERTS 

Viking takes you closer to the heart of places you want to explore 

AFTER LEADING THE RIVER CRUISE INDUSTRY for more than two decades, we have 

refined the small ship sailing experience for our guests. Now we have taken that same 

small ship, destination-focused experience to the seas and redefined ocean cruising as 

our elegant vessels sail through Scandinavia and Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, 

the Caribbean, Australia and New Zealand, Asia, Alaska, North and South America, 

Africa — and beyond. And because we own and operate our ships, we deliver a seamless, 

consistent experience, from the banks of the Amazon to Adriatic shores. 

ON A VIKING SHIP, you will sail into the heart of your destination, so you can explore 

up close and in depth. The size of our vessels — with just 930 guests — gives us greater 

maneuverability, allowing us to dock where the mega-liners that dominate the world’s 

ports today cannot. From our prime, central berths in the world’s great cities such as Venice, 

Hong Kong and Sydney, and in seldom-visited ports like Kotor, Montenegro and Scotland’s 

Shetland Islands, enriching cultural discoveries are just a short walk from your ship. 

We design our itineraries to allow you to spend more time in port, with overnight stays in 

virtually all ports of embarkation and disembarkation. With fewer days at sea, you will have 

ample time to immerse yourself in each destination. 

No other cruise line brings you so close to your destination’s doorstep. And no one else 

helps you uncover so much about a culture and its beauty while you are there.

SERENE SCANDINAVIAN SPACES 

Every room a living room 

EXPAND YOUR HORIZONS on elegant, intimate ships, thoughtfully designed by experienced 

nautical architects and designers to help you connect with your destination in every way. 

When we set out to reinvent the ocean cruise, we designed our ships — from the inside out — with 

your comfort and serenity in mind. We have no casino or children’s pools; instead we created open, 

light-filled spaces to inspire and refresh you along your journey. 

We have designed our ships down to the most minute detail — from the serene Wintergarden, 

perfect for a calming cup of tea; to our Scandinavian-inspired Spa, a Nordic sanctuary of wellness; 

to the Explorers’ Lounge, where you can share your latest adventures with fellow travellers as 

you take in spectacular approaches to Stockholm and its stunning archipelago, or the cascading 

temperate rainforests of Alaska’s Inside Passage. 

ART, LITERATURE & HERITAGE INFUSE YOUR EVERY MOMENT. Our elegant spaces are 

complemented by a thoughtfully curated onboard collection of art, literature and vestiges of history. 

• Peruse classic and contemporary paintings, 

sculptures and photographs by esteemed 

Scandinavian artists. 

• See one of the largest collection of works by 

master expressionist Edvard Munch outside of 

Oslo’s Munch Museum. 

• Admire the detailed Bayeux Tapestry, which 

tells the story of the Battle of Hastings and the 

Vikings’ connection to this significant event. 

• In our well-curated library nooks throughout 

the ship, select from a broad range of titles from 

history to architecture. 

• Visit the Viking Heritage exhibit to browse 

replicas of tools and clothing from the 

Viking Age. 

• Our Viking Art & Design Guide app 

enhances your experience further with 

insightful commentary about our onboard art 

and the design philosophy behind our unique 

Scandinavian spaces.

EXPLORERS’ LOUNGE & MAMSEN’S 

Share a cocktail with friends. Linger over a 

Norwegian breakfast and a nautical history 

book. We have designed the Explorers’ 

Lounge and Mamsen’s gourmet deli in the 

Scandinavian spirit, for complete relaxation 

and for marvelling at sweeping views through 

double-height windows. 

EXPLORERS’ LOUNGE 

MAMSEN’S CHINA 

As you savour the traditional Scandinavian 

fare at Mamsen’s, you will see even the 

china evokes the legacy of the Hagen family 

matriarch for whom the gourmet deli was 

named. After Mamsen passed away, the 

family found her old dishware, stamped with 

the “Tor Viking” logo. The producer of the 

dishware was able to replicate the pattern for 

our guests to enjoy. 

MAMSEN’S CHINA 

WINTERGARDEN 

When you yearn for serenity, we invite you to 

relax in the Wintergarden. Under a canopy of 

Scandinavian trellised wood, you can indulge 

in afternoon tea service, complete with freshly 

made finger sandwiches, richly textured 

scones and delightful desserts. We took 

design hints straight from nature to create a 

unique, inviting space.

THE SPA 

MAKE RELAXATION AN INTEGRAL PART OF YOUR JOURNEY. We offer you more than 

just a pool and spa: we have re-created the Scandinavian bathing ritual with an elegant touch, 

resulting in a unique experience at sea. Take a dip in our Infinity Pool, set at the ship’s stern 

with stunning views. Alternately, enjoy the perfect swim in any weather under the Main Pool’s 

retractable roof. At The Spa, treat yourself to holistic wellness. As our guest, renew your body 

and spirit in our complimentary hot Sauna or Thermal Pool, then step into our Snow Grotto, 

a sanctuary of fluffy snow and chilled air. If you wish, you may indulge in a soothing massage, 

facial or other treatment from LivNordic, Scandinavia’s leading spa, right on board. It is the 

ideal way to begin or end a day of exploration.

MACRAMÉ WINDOW DRESSINGS GRACE THE LIVING ROOM 

ELEGANT TOUCHES EVOKE OUR VIKING HERITAGE. Even the smallest details take their 

inspiration from the exploratory spirit of the original Vikings, reflecting our deeply held Nordic 

traditions. 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. Subtle accents of leather handrails and touches of slate 

and teak exude warmth and character. In the Viking Bar, admire the clinker-built design of 

overlapping wood, mirroring the construction style of the original Viking longships. At The 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. You will find the 

inspiration of Vikings in every corner of every deck.

THE FINE ART OF DETAIL 

Learnings from our well-travelled Chairman 

After a lifetime spent living in hotels, our Chairman wanted to ensure every detail of our ships 

was elegantly functional. Therefore, he ensured we designed easy-to-read and -open premium 

bath products; intuitive remote controls (no teenager needed to demonstrate); large showers 

(not impossible-to-access bathtubs) with strong water pressure and clear controls; anti-fog 

mirrors and heated floors. Our Chairman also wanted meaningful art — and commissioned 

the children of Viking-sponsored Chinese schools to interpret photographs of Viking destinations. 

This attention to detail results in the ultimate comfort: a simply elegant stateroom. 

Other stateroom details also include: 

• King-size Viking Explorer Beds with crisp 

linens, goose-down pillows, soft duvets and 

traditional Norwegian Marius-weave blankets 

• Generously proportioned wardrobes with plush 

robes and slippers 

• Flat-screen, interactive LCD TVs; 

Viking-designed intuitive remotes 

and complimentary films 

• Multiple US/EU outlets and USB ports; 

conveniently placed light switches 

“Bathrooms are superb…with glassed-in showers, 

sleek styling, plenty of storage, Freyja toiletries 

and — the biggest indulgence — 

heated tile floors and towel racks.” 

– Cruise Critic

The most al fresco dining at sea, featuring regional cuisine 

and always available classics 

FEW THINGS SAY AS MUCH ABOUT A CULTURE AS ITS CUISINE. At Viking, we celebrate dining 

and believe that good food is more than just sustenance, it is part of your journey of discovery. 

Imagine sampling an authentic osso bucco while taking in the striking cityscape of Venice. Or 

sipping aquavit and savouring gravlax as you glide through Norway’s breathtaking fjords. From 

sophisticated regional dishes and chef’s selections with wine pairings to rustic Italian cuisine and 

global fare, our venues offer the finest cuisine at sea. 

“Dining here is a culinary journey — a marriage of cultural 

enrichment, gastronomic exploration and local cuisine.” 

– Chris Owen, Chris Cruises

EMPLOYER OF CHOICE 

Our highly experienced management brings 

many years of expertise in luxury ocean

each member of our onboard team. Rigorous 

training and inspiring leadership make Viking 

the employer of choice, which allows us to 

select the very best people to care for you, 

from stateroom stewards to the Captain. 

When you have the best people, you have the 

best service — and Viking has both. Our 

English-speaking international staff is trained

cruise after cruise. 

PERSONALISED ATTENTION 

Can a reservations agent make booking 

your journey a pleasure? Will a waiter learn 

your favourite wine? Is it possible for members 

of your ship’s staff to feel like close friends? 

Yes, if those individuals work for Viking.

MEDITERRANEAN 

2020-2021 VOYAGES

The Mediterranean boasts enough 

treasures to fill several lifetimes of 

travel. While sailing in this region is 

fulfilling at any time of year, consider 

visiting in the quiet season when there 

are fewer ships in port, fewer tourists 

and more opportunities to maximise 

your time. Visit the Vatican without 

long queues, get close to Michelangelo’s 

Pietà and take your time pondering it. 

As the temperatures get cooler, the 

locals get warmer. Walk into a Provençal 

épicerie, chat with the grocer and come 

away with great cooking tips. Visit a 

Barcelona tapas bar and locals may 

coach you on its best dishes.

SCANDINAVIA & 

NORTHERN EUROPE 


“Scandinavia is Viking territory.” 

– Torstein Hagen, Chairman 

Discover Scandinavia and Northern 

Europe with those who know it best. 

Viking Chairman Torstein Hagen hails 

from Norway — a culture born of 

the sea — and began his career here, 

immersed in shipping. But it is not 

just our heritage that makes us the 

Scandinavia and Northern Europe 

expert, it is the richness of our 

itineraries. Come behold the majestic 

Norwegian fjords. Learn the incredible 

true story of the Vikings. Call on the 

remote Shetland, Orkney and Lofoten 

Islands. Circumnavigate the United 

Kingdom. Visit forward-thinking cities 

like Copenhagen, Stockholm, Reykjavík, 

Helsinki, Oslo and St. Petersburg. As you 

enjoy longer time in port, overnight 

stays and the long daylight hours of the 

midnight sun, you will see the Nordic 

world as never before: through the eyes 

of those who call it home.

THE AMERICAS & 

CARIBBEAN 


From Alaska to Aruba, Boston to Belize, 

our Americas and Caribbean itineraries 

reveal the spirit of the New World as 

only Viking can. That is because we 

present it in a whole new way. We have 

forgone the umbrella drinks, children’s 

pools and casinos in favour of a cultural 

celebration that gives you more time 

ashore to explore a truly diverse 

heritage — British, Mayan, French, 

Tlingit, Spanish, Dutch, African and 

more. Experience the Eastern 

Seaboard…the “Path Between the 

Seas,” the Panama Canal…glacier-lined 

ports and narrow channels of the 

famed Inside Passage…or the scenic 

beauty of the Chilean fjords. Calling at 

smaller ports that big ships cannot 

reach, you will leave the crowds behind 

for an undisturbed appreciation of your 

destination’s beauty. And with 

itineraries such as West Indies Explorer, 

you will call on a new port daily, with 

not a single day spent at sea. On board, 

enjoy Caribbean-inspired meals, 

regional cocktails, Destination 

Performances and insightful lectures.

BOOKING CONDITIONS 

These Booking Conditions apply to all bookings which are confirmed as accepted by us on or after 01 July 2019. In respect 

of any bookings accepted by us prior to this date please contact us for the booking conditions that apply to your particular booking. 

INTRODUCTION 

Your contract is with Viking River Cruises UK Limited, 

a company registered in England and 

Wales (Co.No.01283655) whose registered office is 

at Nelsons House, 83 Wimbledon Park Side, London, 

SW19 5LP. 

Your contract incorporates these Booking Conditions 

and by making a booking with us you confirm your 

acceptance of these Booking Conditions. 

‘Viking’, ‘Viking Cruises’, ‘Viking River Cruises’ 

and ‘Viking Ocean Cruises’ are trading names of 

Viking River Cruises UK Limited. 

Your contract will constitute a package under the 

Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements 

Regulations 2018 (“Regulations”) and set out at 

the end of these Booking Conditions is a summary of 

your key rights under the Regulations. 

In the unlikely event of any conflict between these 

Booking Conditions and the provisions of the 

Regulations, the provisions of the Regulations shall 

take precedence. 

A. BOOKING AND PAYMENT 

A1. YOUR RESERVATION 

A1.1 When you make a booking and pay your 

deposit or full payment (as applicable), we will 

reserve your travel arrangements on the basis of 

these Booking Conditions. Your booking will be 

taken as confirmed in respect of all persons named 

on your booking and a binding contract between us 

will come into existence only upon the earlier of (a) 

our sending our Confirmation Invoice and/or ATOL 

Certificate to you or your Travel Agent or (b) the issue 

of tickets in your name. Prior to doing so, we or your 

Travel Agent may send you an acknowledgement of 

your booking. Any such acknowledgement simply 

indicates that we are dealing with your booking 

request and is not a confirmation of it. 

A1.2 Please check your Confirmation Invoice and/ 

or any ATOL Certificate together with all other 

documents we or your Travel Agent send you as 

soon as you receive them. Contact us or your Travel 

Agent immediately if any information which appears 

on the Confirmation Invoice and/or ATOL Certificate 

or elsewhere appears to be incorrect or incomplete, 

as it may not be possible to make changes later. We 

regret we cannot accept any responsibility if we are 

not notified of any inaccuracies in any document 

within ten days of our sending it out (five days for 

tickets). Whilst we will do our best to rectify any 

inaccuracies notified outside these time limits, 

you will be responsible for any costs and expenses 

involved in doing so except where we made the 

mistake and there is good reason why you did not 

contact us within the above time limits. 

A1.3 Normally your cabin number will be advised at 

the time of booking or on the Confirmation Invoice 

but this is not guaranteed and may be altered at any 

time. 

A1.4 At the time of booking we may not be able 

to confirm your exact air or rail arrangements due 

to airline and rail operator booking restrictions. 

However your Confirmation Invoice and/or ATOL 

Certificate will detail those arrangements reserved 

for you and/ or those arrangements provisionally 

reserved for you and/or those arrangements we 

intend to reserve for you. Please note flights may be 

indirect and that some airlines charge for luggage 

separately. In addition your arrangements may be 

subject to change by the relevant airline or train 

operator. Please also note we cannot confirm or 

guarantee specific airline or rail seat numbers. 

A1.5 Any contract is with the “Lead Name” as shown 

on the Booking Form. We can only accept a booking 

if the Lead Name is at least 18 years old on or before 

the date of departure. Please note that you must be 

aged 21 or over in order to purchase or consume 

alcoholic beverages whilst on board our vessels. 

A1.6 The Lead Name is responsible for ensuring that 

other members of his/her party are aware of these 

Booking Conditions and that they consent to him/ 

her acting on their behalf in dealings with us. 

A1.7 If for any reason you did not see a copy of these 

Booking Conditions when you made your booking 

and, having now seen them, you now wish to cancel 

your booking then you may do so by returning all 

documentation to us or your Travel Agent within 7 

days of receipt of these Booking Conditions and all 

monies provided by you shall be returned provided 

that travel has not commenced. Cancellation under 

this sub-clause is not permitted if your booking was 

made less than 10 weeks prior to travel commencing. 

A2. OUR PRICE POLICY AND PAYMENT TERMS 

A2.1 We reserve the right to alter prices shown in 

any of our brochures or in any website and we will 

inform you of any price changes prior to the issue of 

our Confirmation Invoice and/or ATOL Certificate. 

Once our Confirmation Invoice and/or ATOL 

Certificate has been issued then, save in the case of 

manifest error, any price changes may only be made 

in accordance with the remaining provisions of these 

Booking Conditions. 

A2.2 When you make your booking you are required 

to pay a deposit of 25% of the total price. If your 

travel is due to commence within 10 weeks of your 

booking then the total price shall be payable at the 

time of booking. In any event the balance of the 

total price of your travel arrangements must be paid 

at least 10 weeks prior to travel commencing. Your 

booking will not be confirmed until we receive your 

deposit and if the balance is not paid by the due 

date then we shall cancel your booking and retain 

any deposit. Any monies paid to any Travel Agent 

in relation to your booking are held by such Travel 

Agent on our behalf at all times. 

A2.3 Once you have paid your deposit and our 

Confirmation Invoice and/or ATOL Certificate is 

issued the price of your travel arrangements is fully 

guaranteed and will not be subject to any surcharges 

or alteration (save in the case of manifest error or 

changes requested by you to travel arrangements 

are made and where additional costs are incurred). 

However if we do not receive the balance of the total 

price of your travel arrangements when due, your 

booking may be cancelled pursuant to clause A2.2 

and any re-booking may well be at a higher price. 

A2.4 Please note that from time to time airlines 

alter their baggage allowance policies and this may 

occur after we issue our Confirmation Invoice and/ 

or the ATOL certificate. 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 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. 

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. 

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 14 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 which 

proposal you wish to accept. If you have not notified 

us within 7 days 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 £100 for each 

person on the booking together with 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 on the scale shown in the table 

set out in clause D1. These charges are based on the 

estimated cost of cancelling your arrangements and 

the 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 underoccupancy 

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 prebooked 

items or services. 

C2.7 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. 

D. CHARGES, COMPENSATION AND DELAYS

(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 


105


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 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. 

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 or other tours 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 or other tour that you book, your 

contract will be with the operator of the excursion 

or tour and not with us. We are not responsible 

for the provision of the excursion or tour or for 

anything that happens during the course of its 

provision by the operator. Where an excursion or 

other tour is booked through us no refund will be 

available in the event of you subsequently being 

unable or choosing not to take part. This clause 

E5 applies even where a Viking representative 

accompanies the tour or excursion. 

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 

H.8 (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, & FCO 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 group 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. For 

further information please 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. 

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 The Foreign and Commonwealth Office 

(“FCO”) 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 

FCO website at www.fco.gov.uk. 

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. 

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 full 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. 

F7. ALCOHOL POLICY 

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@vikingcruises.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 

H1. CHANGES DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND 

OUR CONTROL 

We will not be liable to pay any compensation 

if we are forced to cancel or in any way change 

your travel arrangements as a result of unusual or 

unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, 

the consequences of which could not have been 

avoided even with all due care. These include 

unavoidable technical problems with transport, 

changes imposed by rescheduling or cancellation 

of flights by an airline or main charterer, the 

alteration of the airline or aircraft type, changes 

imposed by rescheduling or cancellation of rail 

travel by the relevant operator, war or threat of 

war, civil strife, industrial disputes, natural disaster, 

adverse weather, epidemic or terrorist activity. 

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. Please go to www.abta.com for 

a copy of the guide to ABTA’s scheme of Financial 

Protection. For further information about ABTA, 

the Code of Conduct and the arbitration scheme 

available to you if you have a complaint (see clause 

G), contact Consumer Affairs, ABTA, 30 Park Street, 

London SE1 9EQ tel 0203 117 0599 or 

www.abta.com. 

H3. DATA PROTECTION 

Information about you and members of your 

party, including your names, contact details 

and any special needs, disabilities or dietary 

requirements is collected by us when you request 

information or make a booking with us. We may 

disclose this information to our service providers 

(who may be located outside the UK/EEA) for 

the purpose of providing you with your travel 

arrangements. Only information necessary for

YOUR KEY RIGHTS UNDER THE PACKAGE 

TRAVEL AND LINKED TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS 

REGULATIONS 2018 

General 

The combination of travel services offered to 

you is a package within the meaning of the 

Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements 

Regulations 2018. Therefore you will benefit from 

all EU rights applying to the packages. Viking River 

Cruises UK Limited will be fully responsible for the 

proper performance of the package as a whole. 

Additionally, as required by law, Viking River 

Cruises UK Limited has protection in place to 

refund your payments and, where transport 

is included in the package, to ensure your 

repatriation in the event that it becomes insolvent. 

Key Rights 

• Travellers will receive all essential information 

about the package before concluding the 

package travel contract. 

• There is always at least one trader who is liable 

for the proper performance of all the travel 

services included in the contract. 



• Travellers are given an emergency telephone 

number or details of a contact point where 

they can get in touch with the organiser or the 

travel agent. 

• Travellers may transfer the package to another 

person, on reasonable notice and possibly 

subject to additional costs. 

• The price of the package may only be increased 

if specific costs rise (for instance fuel prices), and 

if expressly provided for in the contract, and in 

any event not later than 20 days before the start 

of the package. If the price increase exceeds 8% 

of the price of the package, the traveller may 

terminate the contract. If the organiser reserves 

the right to a price increase, the traveller has a 

right to a price reduction if there is a decrease in 

the relevant costs. 

• Travellers may terminate the contract without 

paying any termination fee and get a full refund 

of any payments if any of the essential elements 

of the package, other than the price, has 

changed significantly. If before the start of the 

package the trader responsible for the package 

cancels the package, travellers are entitled to a 

refund and compensation where appropriate. 

• Travellers may terminate the contract without 

paying any termination fee before the start 

of the package in the event of exceptional 

circumstances, for instance if there are serious 

security problems at the destination which are 

likely to affect the package. 

• Additionally, travellers may at any time before 

the start of the package terminate the contract 

in return for an appropriate and justifiable 

termination fee. 

• If, after the start of the package, significant 

elements of the package cannot be provided 

as agreed, suitable alternative arrangements 

will have to be offered to the traveller at no 

extra cost. Travellers may terminate the contract 

without paying any termination fee, where 

services are not performed in accordance with 

the contract and this substantially affects the 

performance of the package and the organiser 

fails to remedy the problem. 

• Travellers are also entitled to a price reduction 

or compensation for damages or both where 

the travel services are not performed or are 

improperly performed. 

• The organiser has to provide assistance if the 

traveller is in difficulty. 

• If the organiser or the retailer becomes insolvent, 

payments will be refunded. If the organiser or, 

where applicable, the retailer becomes insolvent 

after the start of the package and if transport 

is included in the package, repatriation of the 

travellers is secured. Viking River Cruises UK 

Limited has taken out insolvency protection with

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 onboard 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 splitlevel 

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 also obtain a copy of 

our Safety Policy Statement 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.

credit score where this is a condition of Us entering into a 

contract with You. 

(11) Your and Our insurers and their agents, and Your

We reserve the right to disclose Your personal data to

OUR TRANSFER OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ABROAD 

As stated above, in some cases We will transfer Your 

personal data to a location that is outside the United 

Kingdom, and even outside the European Economic Area. 

The European Commission decides, for the purposes 

of Data Protection Legislation, whether or not states 

outside the European Economic Area have “adequate” 

safeguards for personal data. 

• In the case of the United States, it is not currently 

considered to provide adequate safeguards, although 

its Government operates Privacy Shield and members 

of that scheme are considered to have “adequate” 

safeguards. 

• If Your intended cruise destination(s) is/are outside 

the European Economic Area, the relevant state(s) 

may not provide adequate safeguards. 

We can lawfully make necessary transfers of your 

personal data to these overseas locations if we have 

your explicit consent. If we ask you for your explicit 

consent, it may be the case that we will be unable to 

make the necessary transfer(s) of your personal data 

to these overseas locations unless we obtain your 

consent. This may impact on Our ability to process 

Your personal data using Our electronic systems, and/ 

or it may result in you being denied entry to your 

intended cruise destination(s).
