The second expedition ship in the Viking Expeditions fleet follows the steps of her identical sister ship Viking Octantis to offer you a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The famous river cruise line now offers the adventurous journey of a lifetime while maintaining its signature service and world-class amenities. Guided excursions, expedition gear, food, drinks, and Wi-Fi are all included on this sleek ship, which is designed perfectly to give guests a smooth, comfortable trip with Viking’s state-of-the-art expedition equipment and a team of expert resident scientists onboard.
Viking Polaris has revolutionized the expedition experience with multiple innovations. The Hangar is an all-new way to embark on your journey. This marina is stored inside the ship, allowing you to board away from the waves and winds of the sea. You can then traverse the waters in a Zodiac, kayak, submarine, and other equipment. Hikes, cross-country skiing, and snowshoe excursions are also available on select itineraries, all of which are guided by skilled Viking experts. Onboard, you will discover endless enrichment programming led by both Viking's resident scientists and outside experts via partnerships with the University of Cambridge’s Scott Polar Research Institute and Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
