We are going on this same ship with you. I called Viking about 2 days ago, they are still saying that everything is running exactly the same as planned. They stated that they have not had any problems with their itineraries or excursions. I also asked about the safety concerns, they said that there hasn't been any problems with that either. Just keep an eye on your email, that's what they told me to do. If they have any problems or changes, they assured me that they will immediately email me.
