Passports, Visa & Travel Documents

Viking will send you a number of notifications via email as your departure date nears, including your booking confirmation, payment receipts and, if you purchased your air travel from Viking, logistical information about your air travel and transfers. Be sure your email account is set up to receive communications from Viking so that these messages can find their way to you.

Distribution of Travel Documents

Tickets and other travel documents will be issued approximately 3 weeks prior to departure. Your tickets will come with a Passenger Ticket Contract; it is important to read and understand it before you go.

Passenger Ticket Contract (US & Canada)

Passports

Due to airline security measures, your passport name must match your airline ticket name or you may be denied boarding. Your passport’s expiration date must be at least six months after your return from your trip; if it is not, you should renew your passport.

Visas

Refer to the Resources section for individual itineraries to find information on visas or other types of entry authorizations required.

Travel Insurance

Viking recommends that all guests purchase travel insurance ahead of their departure. This may help protect your travel investment, your belongings and most importantly, you from many unforeseen circumstances that may arise before or during your trip. While there are several insurance companies offering travel protection plans, Viking recommends Manulife and has arranged for dedicated resources to support our guests’ needs.
