Passports
Passports valid for at least six months following your visit, with at least two blank pages available for stamps, are required for all international travel. If you need to obtain or renew a passport, visit the GOV.UK website.
We recommend you make copies of your passport photo page, visas, credit cards, driver’s license and any prescriptions, and keep these separate from your originals in case of loss or theft.
Visas
For visa information, all guests including non-UK citizens and legal residents should seek advice from their respective embassy, consulate or Travel Agent to determine which documents are needed prior to departure. Tips for UK citizens regarding their destinations are below. Should you require a visa for your journey, please be aware that each country/embassy/consulate sets its own policies regarding their issue, so allow ample time for processing. Be sure to obtain and carefully review for accuracy all your required documents prior to departure to avoid delays, denied boarding/entry or additional cost.
UK Citizens:
Vietnam
If you are a UK citizen, a visa for Vietnam is not required for this itinerary. Non-UK citizens, please check with your consulate for visa information.
Cambodia
If you are a UK citizen, a single-entry Cambodia visa is required for this itinerary; non-UK citizens, please check with your consulate for visa information.
To ensure you have your visa in time, we recommend you begin this process at least 90 days prior to departure.
You can find more information on Cambodia visa options here.
NOTE: If you are traveling in the Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi direction, E-visas are not accepted, as we enter by riverway. You can apply for your visa by mail to the Cambodian embassy, or use our visa partner CIBT Visas. Alternately, our Viking staff in Vietnam can assist you with obtaining a Visa on Arrival. Should you prefer this option, you will need to bring one passport-style in color photo of each guest with you to the ship. Once on board, please visit our Guest Services team to provide the photos and ensure they have your information to help facilitate your visa. The cost of the Visa on Arrival is USD 35 pp, which must be paid in cash to our staff in Vietnam. Please ensure the bills are in good condition.
