Consider Travel Insurance for your journey

While no one anticipates the unexpected, it is always wise to prepare for it, especially when embarking on an international journey.

Travel insurance is optional for most of our itineraries, with the exception of select Expedition voyages. However, we encourage all guests to consider arranging cover early in the booking process. Travel Insurance may help if plans change unexpectedly. It may also assist in the event of lost luggage, travel delays, unforeseen medical expenses or cancellation fees you may incur if you need to cancel your plans before departure.

Viking works with nib Travel Insurance as a travel insurance provider. To assist with your planning, we have included a link below where you can obtain a travel insurance quote directly from nib.

Many guests choose to arrange their travel insurance well in advance of departure to ensure they are protected should their plans change after paying a deposit or full fare. If you would like to explore options, including policies that may suit your travel needs, you can request a quote directly from nib Travel Insurance using the link below.

Please note, Viking does not provide personal advice or make recommendations in relation to travel insurance. We encourage you to consider your own circumstances and explore a range of providers to determine what cover is right for you.
