Viking suspends all cruise operations until 2021

All scheduled departures up to 31 December have been cancelled.

Impacted guests will be offered a 125% future cruise credit.

Alternatively, they can also opt – no later than 24 August – for a full refund of all monies paid to date.

"If itinerary changes are required, impacted guests and their travel agents are notified directly by Viking guest services," said the line in a statement.
