believe travel should be more than just a trip — it should be a doorway to cultural insight and personal enrichment. That’s why our cruise itineraries are designed to help you explore and engage with your destination through its food, traditions, cultures and customs. BEFORE you travel, we provide you with everything you need to prepare for

your journey — from filmographies that inspire wanderlust, to informative and enlightening reading materials. ASHORE, you might accompany your ship’s chef to a local produce market, step behind the scenes at a famous theatre company, tour a glassblower’s

workshop, or view private collections and hidden vaults inside a world-class museum — the possibilities are endless. ONBOARD activities are also designed for the thinking traveller who is eager to learn. Viking offers informative lectures on history and art, as well as

cooking demonstrations, musical performances and restaurant menus inspired by local cuisines. We take every opportunity to bring your destination to life. CONNECT with like-minded travellers on board our ships. Each space has been designed to put you in touch with your surroundings and create a relaxed

atmosphere where you can mingle with your fellow guests. By the end of your journey, our hope is that you will feel infinitely more connected — both to your destinations and to your newfound friends.

V I K I N G H E A LT H & S A F E T Y P R O G R A M 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 wellresearched 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.

S I LV E R S P I R I T S Beverage Package You are spoilt for choice when it comes to beverages on board a Viking river cruise. Complimentary bottled water and specialty coffees and teas are available at all

times throughout your journey, and your onboard lunch and dinner service is always accompanied by quality house wines, beers and soft drinks. Our Silver Spirits Beverage Package is also available for you to purchase. This package

includes unlimited access to premium wines, beers and juices — as well as an extensive selection of spirits and sparkling wines — for the entire duration of your cruise. Sit back and relax with a top-shelf beverage whenever you desire, without paying a single cent more than you budgeted for. At a cost of only $20 (USD) per person per day, this unique Viking offer is excellent value for money. Take some time out with a good book and a chilled glass of Pinot Gris, get to know

your fellow passengers over a locally made beer, or celebrate a special occasion with a fancy cocktail — that’s what a holiday is for. We also invite you to bring your own alcohol on board our ships, either from home or

from the wineries, breweries and distilleries that you visit during your journey. You can enjoy these beverages on the veranda of your stateroom or while dining in any of our onboard restaurants.

EUROPE 2022-2023 VOYAGES

If Europe were a book, it would be a hardcover page-turner. Its riveting historical plot would tell stories of famous musicians, sculptors and genius painters; of vintners, bakers and farmers; of war heroes and resistance fighters; of royals and boundary breakers; of irreverent architects, scientists and seafarers. Its pages would overflow with alpine peaks, endless patchworks of farmed fields and bustling cities, and there would be a whole chapter on castles overlooking meandering rivers. From the Danube to the Rhine, the rivers of Europe and the countries through which they run are as scenic as they are spellbinding. In Amsterdam, marvel at the iconic windmills and picturesque fields of tulips. Explore Prague — ‘the city of a hundred spires’ — and sample some of the world’s finest beers. Experience the healing thermal waters and flamboyant architecture of Budapest. Take in the vast musical heritage and magnificent imperial palaces of Vienna. If Europe were a book, you would never tire of reading it… 41

RUSSIA & UKR AINE 2022-2023 VOYAGES

102


The soul of the samovar is singing a tune of warmhearted hospitality. From historic Moscow to canallaced St. Petersburg, Russia is full of riddles and surprises to Western thinking, according to novelist and historian Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. The people of the largest country in the world are passionate, creating swirlyspired onion domes of gold and striking colours, and making lithe, white swans dance across a Tchaikovsky-infused lake. Visits to the Hermitage Museum, St. Basil’s Cathedral and the Kremlin will give you a taste. Ukraine’s ancient and splendid trade route, the Dnieper River, is lined with rich cultural treasures, spectacular churches and rural folkways that recall the days of the Vikings, Tsars and Cossacks. See Kiev’s Cave Monasteries, marvel at the riding skills of Cossack horsemen, and trace the footsteps of history at Odessa’s Potemkin Steps.

The rivers of Asia have long been the lifeblood of civilisations, their banks shaping the course of dynasties and nations, creating trade routes that were old when the great powers of Europe were young. Asia of old lives along these shores, in the bustling markets, tiny villages and centuries-old temples that dot the ever changing landscape. Southeast Asia has its own unique character, defined by religion, culture, geography and eons of intricate history. Discover Cambodia’s ancient Khmer architecture, captivating riverside landscapes and the elegant French colonial capital of Phnom Penh in a complex merger of both ancient and modern worlds. In Vietnam, the stunning beauty of the innumerable rivers and canals of the Mekong Delta, the centuries old architecture of Hanoi with Chinese and French influences, and the mesmerising dynamics of Ho Chi Minh City await you‌

world’s major river systems in size, biological activity and habitat diversity, it is called the “Mighty Mississippi” for good reason. Bisecting America’s heartland, it serves as a natural border for 10 states and is home to 360 species of fish, 326 species of birds, 145 species of amphibians and 50 species of mammals. The river’s cultural legacy has inspired artists and writers such as Maya Angelou, Tennessee Williams and Mark Twain, whose depictions of the Mississippi are a constant companion to his iconic hero, Huckleberry Finn. Unique culinary traditions are also bountiful—from rivaling barbecue in St. Louis and Memphis, to Cajun and Creole cuisine in New Orleans. And

Some of the most scenic stretches of the Mississippi lie in the river’s upper reaches, where the waterway is wide and clear, and where the landscape is diverse. Here, you can admire the towering bluffs lining Minnesota, the rolling green farms of Wisconsin, the hills and caverns of Missouri, and amber waves of Iowa grain. The twists and turns of the Lower Mississippi seem to mirror the spirit of the South itself. Here, where the river snakes back on itself in fanciful spirals, you fall into a slower rhythm that is ideal for absorbing the region’s lush beauty, captivating history, exquisite cuisine and easygoing hospitality.

VIKING OCEA N CRUISING ANOTHER WAY TO EXPLORE

194


After leading the river cruise industry for two decades, we have refined the smallship sailing experience for our guests. Now we have taken that same smallship, destination-focused experience to the seas and redefined ocean cruising as our elegant vessels sail through Scandinavia, the Baltic, the Mediterranean, Asia and beyond. On a Viking ship, you’ll 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 manoeuvrability, allowing us to dock where others can’t. 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 fully in each destination.

OUR SHIPS ON THE RIVER S The Viking river fleet Viking has the most extensive fleet of river cruise vessels in the world, and each ship has been specifically designed to navigate the historic rivers of the region through which it is sailing.

OUR VIKING LONGSHIPS Stylish, light and Scandinavian-inspired design,

everywhere onboard our award-winning Viking Longships you will find quiet corners that invite you to pause and reflect: in the alcoves, the library, the lounge areas, the Sun Deck, the Aquavit Terrace and, of course, the sanctuary of your stateroom. Home to just 190 guests, all staterooms have a window, and many boast a French balcony or private veranda. OUR ELBE SHIPS Viking Beyla and Viking Astrild are inspired by our award-winning Viking Longships, and are home to 98 guests. They boast many of the same design features, including the stylish lounge and restaurant, and the Aquavit Terrace for al fresco dining.

OUR SEINE SHIPS Boasting the same popular design elements as our Viking Longships, our Viking Seine ships feature

state-of-the art engineering, deluxe staterooms and streamlined Scandinavian-style interiors. Plus, these ships feature customised hulls and engines specifically built to navigate the historic Seine River.

OUR DOURO SHIPS Taking inspiration from the Viking Longships, the

Viking Hemming, Viking Helgrim, Viking Torgil and Viking Osfrid ships are especially designed to sail the River Douro and are slightly smaller. Built in 2014, 2016 and 2019, they accommodate just 106 guests. They also boast a small rooftop pool to make the most of sunnier climates.

DISCLAIMERS

VRC acts solely as the Australian and New Zealand sales and marketing agent for the Carriers set out in the Viking brochures, website or any other promotional material and for all related Travel Services (“Travel Services”). All Travel Services, including land, air and water transportation, accommodations and excursions which together comprise your cruise tour, are purchased from third-party providers. VRC neither owns nor operates any vessel or any other means of transportation, accommodations or other travel or leisure facilities. The Carrier, and not VRC, employs the crew, operates and maintains the vessel, and conducts the cruise tour. Under no circumstances shall VRC be construed as a Carrier or as a provider of travel services or accommodations of any nature. VRC assumes no responsibility or liability whatsoever for acts or omissions of the Carrier or those persons or entities providing Travel Services, accommodations or any other element of a cruise tour. VRC is not responsible for any damage, injury, illness, death, loss, accident, delay or irregularity of any kind, occasioned by reason of any act or omission arising during or from the cruise tour. You specifically release VRC from any and all claims for loss or damage to baggage or property and for injury, illness or death, and from all other claims and any loss or delay, arising out of the acts, omissions or negligence of the Carrier or other independent contractors, such as air carriers, hotels, shore excursion operators, restaurateurs, transportation providers, spa professionals, medical personnel or other providers of services or facilities.

DEPOSIT AND PAYMENT POLICY

To confirm the booking, a non-refundable cruise-only deposit of AU$500 per person, or a non-refundable cruise plus Viking Air deposit of AU$1,500 per person is required within 3 days of making your booking or your reservation will be canceled. When more than one cruise is booked, this Payment Policy applies to each cruise fare. The final balance is due (being the full cost of Your Tour as specified on the invoice provided to you at the time of booking) is due no later than 120 days prior to your cruise/tour departure date (unless otherwise stated or within 3 days of booking if cruise/tour departure date is within 120 days of sailing). All reservations are subject to cancellation without notice if payments are not received by the due date.

PAYMENTS

Visa, MasterCard, American Express, checks made payable to “Viking River Cruises, Inc.” and Electronic Funds Transfer are all acceptable forms of payment. Please contact Viking Cruises for payment instructions. 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.

truces, lockouts, riots, strikes or labor difficulties from whatever cause; or explosion, fire, collision, standing or foundering of the vessel, or breakdown or failure of or damage to the vessel or its hull or machinery or fittings howsoever and wheresoever any or the same may arise or be caused, or civil commotion, riot, insurrection, war, government restraint, requisitioning of the vessel, political disturbance, acts or threats of terrorism, inability to secure or failure of supplies including fuel, acts of God, or other circumstances beyond their control, the Carrier may, at any time, cancel, advance, alter, substitute or postpone any scheduled cruise or cruise tour and may, but is not obliged to, substitute another vessel or itinerary and neither VRC nor the Carrier shall be liable for any lodging, meals, return transportation or other expense or loss whatsoever, whether to booked or actual passengers or third parties, by reason of any such circumstances, except as specifically set forth in the Passenger Ticket Contract.

CANCELLATION POLICY

TRANSFERS

In the event you cancel a cruise or tour booking for any reason, cancellation fees will apply as noted below. Cancellation fees also will apply to changes to departure date; substitutions of itinerary; substitution of another person for original booked passenger(s); and changes to a promotional fare. No refunds shall be made in the event of interruption or cancellation by a passenger after commencement of the cruise. All cancellations must be in writing and sent to VRC’s office located at 6/66 Wentworth Avenue, Surry Hills, NSW 2010, Australia or emailed to reservations.anz@vikingcruises.com For all air-inclusive packages cancelled after issuance of an airline ticket, the air travel portion is non-refundable. You acknowledge that your cancellation will cause VRC and the Carrier difficulty in selling a replacement cruise or cruise tour and thus the cancellation fees herein apply regardless of whether your cruise or cruise tour is resold. You agree that any losses sustained by VRC and/ or the Carrier in the event of cancellation would be very difficult or impossible to quantify, and the cancellation fees are fair and reasonable as liquidated damages. The following cancellation fees will be assessed for all written cancellations received prior to departure up to the scheduled time of departure: Written Notice received Days Prior to Cruise/ Tour Departure Date

REFUSAL OF PASSAGE; TERMINATION BY PASSENGER

ADVANCED, CANCELLED OR DELAYED; ACTS OF GOD; STRIKES; OTHER CHANGES VRC and the Carrier reserve the right to withdraw and/ or cancel a tour or to make changes in the itinerary and hotel accommodations whenever, in their sole judgment, the conditions warrant it.

Roundtrip airport-to-vessel transfers are only included when air travel is purchased with a tour package. Transfers are only valid on tour departure and arrival dates.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION/VISAS

Each passenger must have a passport valid for a period of at least six (6) months following disembarkation and any necessary visas, affidavits or other required travel documents when boarding. We recommend that you check with your travel agent or Consulate Service to determine what documents are required for your travel. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have all necessary documents to participate in the cruise or tour(s) purchased and neither VRC nor the Carrier accepts responsibility for obtaining required visas or for advising passengers of visa or other immigration requirements. Entry into other countries may be refused even if the required information and travel documents are complete. Visa kits provided by an independent third party are available upon request as a service to passengers selecting destinations in Russia, China, Egypt, Jordan or Southeast Asia. Please note that, due to airline security measures, if the name on your passport does not match the name on your airline ticket, you may be denied boarding.

LIABILITY LIMITATION

In addition to the disclaimers and liability limitations set forth in these Terms, the Passenger Ticket Contract also contains important limitations of liability for claims, including for injury, illness, death, baggage and personal property; time limits for claims and suits; designated forum for suits (including exclusive jurisdiction in Basel, Switzerland for claims arising on all cruise tours that do not include U.S. ports); choice of law and class action waiver.

Viking Cruises does not guarantee that you will be on the same carrier/flight as others in your travel group. Full airline airfare restrictions (including airline baggage restrictions), conditions of carriage and airline terms and conditions will apply.

WARRANTIES AND FITNESS

You warrant that you and all other passengers traveling in your party are physically, emotionally and otherwise fit to undertake the cruise or cruise tour; that you and they have received all medical inoculations necessary; that you and they will at all times comply with the Ship’s rules and regulations and orders and directions of the Ship’s Master, officers and medical staff, as applicable, and that your conduct will not impair the safety of the Ship or jeopardize or inconvenience other passengers. VRC and Carrier are not required to provide any inoculations or specialized health or mental care during your cruise tour and all such arrangements are your responsibility. VRC and the Carrier are unable to accommodate women past their 24th week of pregnancy. A certificate of fitness may be required of any passenger with significant health issues. You are further advised that the living standards and practices at your travel destination(s), including those with respect to the provision of utilities, services and accommodation, may differ from those found in Australia or New Zealand.

SPECIAL NEEDS

You are strongly encouraged to advise us at 138 747 for Australia and 0800 447 913 for New Zealand of any accessibility requirements prior to booking so we can determine if reasonable accommodations are available. Please request the appropriate accessibility form for you to review, sign and return to us. Passengers are requested to advise us in writing, at or prior to the time a cruise or cruise tour is booked, of any physical, emotional or mental condition which may require professional attention during the cruise or cruise tour, including if the passenger requires the use of a wheelchair or other mobility equipment, not to exceed 56 cm in width. Passengers must bring and be solely responsible for all necessary items related to the medical condition or mobility challenge. If a mobility, medical, physical, emotional or mental condition arises after the cruise or cruise tour is booked, you are requested to advise us in writing immediately. VRC and Carrier endeavor to reasonably accommodate special access needs but cannot guarantee they will be able to do so in all cases. When requested due to safety concerns, you must provide a completed medical questionnaire (“Fit to Travel letter”) from your physician.

GENERAL ACCESSIBILITY LIMITATIONS

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, and for other destinations not specifically noted, certain additional conditions, restrictions and limitations exist onboard, at the ports, in excursions and on land that are beyond our 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 physical restrictions. Due to restrictions on boat, ship and cabin sizes, certain cruise tours are not appropriate for travellers who use wheelchairs, walkers or scooters. Airports in certain regions typically do not have ramps or elevators. Excursions visit ancient sites with uneven terrain and stairs and include extended periods of walking over uneven surfaces. Passengers using 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 onboard planes in certain regions because authorities such as the China Aviation Administration forbid any battery of capacity greater than 160Wh (most scooter batteries) onboard an aircraft. Additionally, lithium batteries cannot be placed in checked baggage and must be handcarried as onboard carry-on. All batteries must have the capacity clearly printed on the outside or they will not be allowed onboard. 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).

EXPEDITION CRUISES

Passengers traveling on cruises offered by VRC and which may involve travel to remote locales, including, but not limited to, the Arctic or Antarctic regions (“Expedition Cruises”) are subject to additional terms and conditions as set forth in the Passenger Ticket Contract. Such passengers should read the Passenger Ticket carefully as it contains acknowledgements, requirements, and warranties specific to Expedition Cruises. Expedition Cruises involve additional risks and dangers above and beyond those of non-Expedition Cruises. Because of these inherent risks, all passengers traveling on Expedition Cruises are required to submit a Fit to Travel letter prior to travel and to update the Fit to Travel letter as also set forth in the Passenger Ticket Contract. Expedition Cruises are subject to greater restrictions on services and accommodations than would otherwise be generally applicable, including but not limited to what passengers may be able to bring on board during their travel on an Expedition Cruise. If you are traveling on an Expedition Cruise, you warrant that you have no physical or psychological condition which would entail an unreasonable risk to the health or safety of others participating in the Expedition Cruise or to the safe conduct of the Expedition Cruise and agree to abide by all terms and conditions of the Passenger Ticket Contract.

CHILDREN/MINORS

Due to the nature of the cruise and travel itineraries, the Carrier does not maintain facilities or services on its vessels for individuals under the age of 18 years. For all cruises/cruise tours booked after August 1, 2018 (regardless of departure year), you must be 18 years old on or before the day you are scheduled to embark on the cruise tour.

ITINERARIES, PRICES, AND ITEMS NOT INCLUDED; OMISSIONS

Refer to the Passenger Ticket for more information. Airfares are subject to change if bookings are not paid in full. Optional shore excursions/ tours/concerts, excess baggage charges, drinks, beverages and meals not included in the package are additional costs to the passenger.

EXTENSIONS

The Extension packages as listed herein and in VRC Advertising have been developed in association with various international hotels. Situations may arise, voluntarily or involuntarily, that necessitate changes. We reserve the right to substitute hotels as it is deemed necessary and to provide comparable alternatives.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

Viking Cruises strongly recommends that you obtain the appropriate travel insurance when you pay the deposit on your booking to cover any unforeseen circumstances that may occur before or during any cruise or associated travel (including but not limited to changes in itinerary as a result of significant flooding or low water levels). If you do not purchase travel insurance, you may not be able to recover any charges associated with the cancellation or unforeseen circumstances. Passengers travelling on cruises to the Arctic and Antarctica need to provide evidence of comprehensive cruise travel insurance including medical evacuation coverage of US$250,000.
