Retention Blueprint: Navigating the Future of Crew Wellbeing

Industry voices agree, retention in 2025 and beyond will rest on five pillars. One of the most critical? Multi-Generation Wellbeing.

With five generations soon working side by side at sea, healthcare, mental wellness, and proactive support must evolve to meet diverse needs. From preventive care to mental resilience programmes, operators face a new challenge: creating an environment where every crew member feels supported and valued.

At VIKAND, we support operators in navigating an increasingly complex landscape, providing solutions that drive healthier crew and safer operations.

📩 Contact us today at info@vikand.com to learn how we can support your retention strategy.

🦠 20 outbreaks reported in 2025 alone! A clear signal that infectious disease remains the biggest public health challenge onboard cruise ships.

Commenting in Seatrade Cruise Review, Amy White highlights the urgent need for action in high-density environments driven by shared spaces, global itineraries and constantly changing populations onboard.

🚢 To mitigate these risks, cruise lines should adopt a proactive, multi-layered approach to reduce outbreak potential while maintaining passenger confidence.

A 2026 Wish-List for Crew Welfare at Sea

From training and leadership development to healthcare access, connectivity, fair working conditions and transparent accountability, maritime experts emphasise in the latest Safety4Sea special column that sustainable shipping is impossible without sustainable lives at sea.

In 2026, it’s time to stop seeing crew healthcare as a cost. Ronald Spithout warns that underinvesting in crew wellbeing is a false economy. It harms safety, erodes performance, and undermines sustainable shipping. Real progress means treating health as an investment.

12/29/2025

As 2025 draws to a close, it’s worth reflecting on what has truly changed in maritime healthcare and what still demands collective action from industry stakeholders.

This year brought meaningful progress, yet a fundamental question remains: How far is the maritime industry willing to go to make crew wellbeing a genuine strategic priority?

In his latest reflections, Peter Hult shares his perspective on the milestones, the gaps, and the work ahead as we look towards 2026.

Season's Greetings from all of us at VIKAND ❤️

12/19/2025

✨ As 2026 approaches, we at VIKAND are reflecting on the journey we’ve shared throughout 2025.

This year, we made meaningful progress in how we support the maritime industry, from day-to-day clinical excellence to strengthening the systems that drive operational resilience and crew sustainability. It was also a strong year for our OneHealth by VIKAND Programme, bringing medical care, mental wellness, technology and prevention into a more cohesive, future-ready framework.

Above all, we continued to elevate conversations around seafarer health and wellbeing. Caring for crews and guests around the world remains a privilege and a responsibility we take seriously.

Of course, none of this would be possible without our incredible team and trusted partners. Thank you for being a part of our journey and enabling us to make a meaningful impact at sea.

Happy Holidays from all of us at VIKAND!
