Vikand's comprehensive approach includes medical facility operations, outbreak prevention and mitigation, emergency support, formulary and biomedical equipment management, medical staffing and ongoing consultation.

Health and safety top of mind

'Our goal is to provide unique travel experiences in unparalleled destinations while keeping health and safety top of mind,' Azamara President Carol Cabezas said. 'Healthcare is essential to our brand and the destinations we visit. Our collaboration with Vikand leaves this critical necessity of on-board public health in experienced hands to provide the highest standard of care.'

The agreement is holistically designed for Azamara Quest, Azamara Journey, Azamara Pursuit and the new Azamara Onward.
