Viking

Touch Free Embarkation


Under Pandemic Driven timelines, zero-to-one launch. We successfully eliminated physical contact between crew and thousands of passnegers during embarkation.

Situation

With A rapidly expanding global pandemic, Viking acted quickly to ensure the safety of their passengers. Adding daily testing for all passengers & crew, testing labs & UV clensing robots to all ships, they also needed to reduce physical conatact during the embarkation process to maintain safe travel during the pandemic.


Task

Create a solution allowing passengers to Embark without physical contact.


Action

Incorporate iOS & watchOS native wallet feature to introduce mobile tickets (phase 2 roll out to Android OS).
Redesign physical tickets which previously required physical manipulation to process at onboard scanners.


Result

Successfully eliminated a physical conatct point with crew, reducing transmission across thousands of guests. Just one aspect of Viking's updated Health and Safety process for traveling during a global pandemic.
