Creator's Key Takeaways

so that's very exciting so with this announcement viking obviously formally announced yesterday that they will no longer be performing daily um saliva testing on board their ships

it means that no more daily testing for viking for sure so that's very exciting

i think that's the big kicker i think if i think if there was some really serious symptoms they'd be they would be a little bit more uh justification in their minds

so you know it's it's shifted now people that were uncomfortable with daily testing are now going to be able to travel and not be anxious about you know having to perform those tests every day

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Check with your travel agent or Viking directly about specific country testing requirements two to three weeks before departure.
โœ“Book early as demand is expected to increase significantly, and availability will get tighter.
โœ“If you experience symptoms on board, you can request a test from the medical center.
