Credit Card

We accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express.Please note that some credit card companies may impose a Foreign Transaction Fee even though your transaction is denominated in Australian dollars. This is an arbitrary fee that occurs in a small number of cases and accrues entirely to the credit card-issuing bank. If a Foreign Transaction fee is applied by the issuing bank, Viking will provide reimbursement of such fees to a nominated bank account once a credit card statement is provided for verification. To avoid foreign transaction fees, you can pay via EFT (per below) or via American Express credit card.

Documents

Transfers

Airport transfers are available at additional cost if air arrival and departure dates coincide with the first and the last day and destination of the cruise/tour itinerary. If guests arrive and depart on different dates to these, then airport transfers are not available.
