VIKING HEALTH & SAFETY PROGRAM Instituting highest standards of health and safety protocols Throughout our 23-year history, we have proudly maintained the highest health and safety standards on board our young fleet of river ships. Our new Health & Safety Program builds upon this foundation and goes further. Developed in coordination with an international team of scientific and medical advisors it is one of the most well- researched and comprehensive COVID-19 prevention and mitigation plans in the travel industry. HEALTH & SAFETY PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS: Daily PCR Testing and Dedicated Laboratories — Quick non-invasive saliva PCR tests for all guests and crew will be conducted prior to embarkation and daily throughout the cruise itinerary through our network of dedicated shore-side labs. Air Purification — All our ships are already equipped with independent air handling units for each guest stateroom. Every ship in the fleet will be upgraded with short-wavelength ultraviolet (UV-C) lights and new high-density filters, which will sanitise the air and kill 99.99% of all airborne bacteria and viruses. Health Checks — Guests will complete a digital Health Questionnaire prior to travel; at embarkation; and every day of their cruise itinerary. Temperatures will also be checked regularly using touchless thermometers and thermal cameras. Additional Sanitisation — New enhanced sanitisation protocols are in place to guarantee that surfaces are continually disinfected. On Board Physical Distancing — More options for spaced seating while dining will allow for physical distancing; replacement of self-serve dining stations with crew service; and new capabilities will allow guests to watch more live events and enriching content through their in-room entertainment system. On Shore Enhancements - Initially only Viking shore excursions will be offered while in port. While ashore, Viking’s measures will meet or exceed local guidelines for physical distancing and other precautions. Small Ships — With the risk of disease infection significantly lower on small vessels, we believe our ships offer a safer environment. And with no interior staterooms on any of our ships, guests enjoy expansive views from outside staterooms. Call us on 138 747 (AU), 0800 447 913 (NZ) or contact your local Viking travel agent 417
