How long to receive voucher for cancelled trip-and is this possible?

[Buddysmom10]

We're scheduled for the Viking Sky in Iceland August 7 and the last day to cancel is July 23 to receive a 100% voucher.

Due to the recent positive cases (one on Sky and one on Jupiter)  and missing ports on that ship, I am considering cancelling.

 

If I cancelled by that time and then saw that things were going smoothly, etc, would it be possible to rebook using my voucher, say on August 1?  (of course as long as there is still availability--and with the uncertainty, I would think that there still would be)

 

Do you receive your voucher immediately or shortly thereafter?  Or is it much longer to receive your voucher?

Thanks!

Standard answer is two to three weeks for vouchers to appear in you account.

I know Viking has made exceptions for cancel and rebook on same phone call, but likely not a few days later.

But you experience may differ. (I wouldn’t do it.)

I canceled my July 31 sailing on June 21 and received the voucher on July 2. Viking couldn’t apply the amount I paid to another sailing with final payment due in June 23. 
 

I don’t think there will be enough time for you to rebook with voucher unless you book a late August sailing.
