Terms and Conditions: Registration will not be processed without your acceptance.
Of course, a major travel trip has a considerable number of Terms and Conditions, although Viking is generally straightforward and fair by comparison to some other cruise companies. For a complete listing of the T&C data, go to this page:
The most important issue is your potential cancel fee if you must cancel later from the trip. Viking is reasonable with only a $100 per person penalty until 120 days prior to your start date. For the cruise itself, that would be June 14, 2024. If you must cancel after that date, the penalty is a sliding scale as follows based on when you cancel:
Optional Trip Cancellation and Medical Coverage:
While useful for the intended purpose, the policy does not provide trip cancellation protection or provide payment for more normal medical services during the trip. You are encouraged to consider the purchase of a trip cancellation policy on your own, or with a policy offered through GTS / Winter Ski & Sport. Please click here for more information about the policy and how to purchase the policy after you have registered for the river cruise: https://www.winterskiandsport.com/trip-insurance
