You may also access all documents and information regarding your booking by visiting your My Viking Journey account Booking Summary page. In addition to your electronic documents, you will receive a package in the mail approximately 14 to 45 days prior to your departure which will include your personalized embarkation tags and one red transfer sticker per guest, if applicable.

Pre-registration:

Due to increased security in ports worldwide, your embarkation will be much faster and easier if all of your pertinent information is already in the cruise line's check-in system. Please CLICK HERE to pre-register online.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: By booking with The Cruise Web, Passenger explicitly agrees to the terms of the Passenger Ticket Contract (https://www.vikingcruises.com/passengerticketcontract). Please read all sections carefully as they affect the passenger's legal rights.

Identification, Passport & Visa Information:

Proof of citizenship and photo identification will be required for your vacation. A valid US passport and visa (for certain destinations only) may also be required for your travel. The United States Department of State has recently changed documentation requirements for travel outside of the United States, and continues to review these requirements. For example, when traveling to certain countries, your passport must be valid for several months beyond the date in which you expect to complete your travel and return home. Please visit the State Department website at www.travel.state.gov, for the official and most up to date documentation requirements, and also for instructions on how to renew or obtain a passport. You may also contact the National Passport Information Center toll free at 1-877-487-2778.

NOTE: Effective May 3, 2023, travelers who elect to use a U.S. state-issued driver's license must ensure that it is REAL ID-compliant, which should be indicated by the presence of a star located near the upper corner of the card.

Non-US citizens should check with their local consulate to determine the specific documents required for travel.

Shore Excursions:

Optional shore excursions are a great way to make the most of your cruise vacation, and we suggest booking yours with either The Cruise Web's third party excursion partner, Shore Excursions Group, or directly with the cruise line.

Advantages of booking your excursions with Shore Excursions Group, our preferred partner, include up to 40% savings, a money-back guarantee, more tour options, guaranteed return to ship and 24/7 traveler support at 1-866-703-0606.

If you choose to book your excursions directly with Viking Expeditions, non-polar itineraries will allow pre-booking in your My Viking Journey account. You will be able to browse all shore excursions from the moment you open your account. Booking opens for each guest based on their stateroom category; listed as follows. Viking Expeditions will alert you when it is your time to book.

• Owner's Suite / Explorer Suites: 67 days prior to sail date
• Nordic Junior Suites / Nordic Penthouse: 57 days prior to sail date
• Deluxe Nordic Balcony / Nordic Balcony: 47 days prior to sail date

NOTE: Due to their flexible nature, itineraries to the Arctic and Antarctica will not include pre-bookable shore excursions. Guests will be able to sign up on the waiting list for the different experiences with priority based on their stateroom category. All tours in those regions will be scheduled on board and guests will be assigned an excursion time based on the waitlist.

To browse shore excursions directly with Viking Expeditions, please CLICK HERE.

Either way, we recommend you book early for the best selection, as shore excursions and tours have limited capacity and fill up quickly!
