Thank you so much for all of your comments. I did reread all of our documentation and saw where it mentioned the daily saliva test. So I will admit my error. I appreciate some people’s comments about how the daily testing made them feel safe. But to me, if the daily testing is for safety reasons, I am boggled how they don’t require but only recommend boosters! Daily testing and no requirement of boosters do not correlate.

I am scheduled to leave on The Viking Homelands cruise on June 13th. I happened to notice yesterday on My Viking Journey page that another button had been added regarding Pre-Departure testing requirements. It stated that pre-departure COVID PCR or Antigen testing was required before my husband and I board our flight from US. I need to state we never received an email regarding this change. Upon arrival in Stockholm and being transferred directly to the ship, We would be given a saliva test in our stateroom. Then I asked if there would be anymore testing during the cruise and was informed that every passenger would be tested EVERY DAY!!!! I couldn’t believe it! When I then asked when Viking made this change (again I had not been notified about this through email) I was told that had been Viking’s COVID protocol all along!! Am I the only person that was not aware of this? The only COVID testing and I had been made aware of previouslywas the saliva test upon boarding the ship. Unfortunately my husband and I are planning to cancel our trip. We have been vaccinated and double Boosted, but don’t feel we can take the risk of testing positive sometime throughout the cruise being that Viking does not even require people to be boosted…..which doesn’t seem consistent with this Excessive testing policy. And what truly shocks me is that I wouldn’t have even discovered about the daily testing requirement had I not called. Please respond and tell me if I had missed some form of communication from Viking regarding these COVID policy testing changes.
