How do I activate a Global Data Pass?

Well, there are two ways:

  1. Via your My Viking account. Outside the EU, you need a connection to a Wi-Fi network for this.
  2. Via sms: by texting one of the codes below to the free number 1984:
    • ROAM250MB for 250 Mb data.
    • ROAM1GB for 1 Gb data.
    • ROAM3GB for 3 Gb data.

This activation method does not require a Wi-Fi connection, unless you need to make a manual payment.

Avoid headaches and set a reminder to purchase your Global Data Pass on our website. Provide the start date of your trip, and 2 days before departure, you will receive a reminder from us. Easy peasy, right? ;-)

How does the payment work?

Mobile subscription
The Global Data Pass will be activated immediately and appear on your next invoice/payment invitation. To pay those, as always, your available Viking Points will be used first.

Prepaid card
You can pay for the Global Data Pass through your My Viking account or via SMS, using available Viking points or calling credit. 

Please note:

  • If there is insufficient calling credit available for a full payment, any Viking Points in your account will be used. 
  • If there are insufficient Viking Points in your account for a full payment, your chosen payment method in your My Viking account (Easy Payment) will be used for the remaining amount.
  • Outside the EU, you will need a Wi-Fi connection for an online payment.
  • If you do not have an Easy Payment method set up in your account, you will have to make a separate online payment.
  • If you can’t complete your order via SMS because you have not set up an Easy Payment method. You will need to place the order via your My Viking account.
