Pros: Amazing scenery, whales, penguins, ocean birds. Food and service excellent.
Cons: Outings are totally dependent on the weather, Outings are really limited by the terrain. You do not need a pack. Clothing great and you won't be going that far---1 hour.

Fantastic trip with fantastic ship and crew. Interesting, beautiful itinerary with excellent on board and local guides. Enjoyed the opportunity for riding the zodiacs! Saw and learned a lot about various birds and wildlife, including bald eagles, blue and fin wales and dolphins. Food was outstanding. Would go again in a heartbeat. In fact, while aboard we booked another cruise on the Polaris!
Pros: Beautiful, newer ship. Outstanding crew including large # of professional scientists and naturalists. Lovely staterooms, great food and nice entertainment. Friendly, accommodating staff.
Cons: None!

Viking Polaris, an Expedition ship, was at near capacity with 360 or so passengers, but never felt crowded, and had a crew of 225 that took care of every need immediately, usually before we knew we had a need. This was our 9th Viking cruise, but our first on an Expedition ship; it won't be our last! The food was a significant upgrade from all our previous Viking experiences (with a daily sushi bar, a seafood bar with unlimited king crab legs, shrimp, scallops and marinated mussels as standouts; and a tremendous grill with cut and cooked to order tomahawk rib eyes, filet mignon, NY strips steaks topping their offers). The ports were very interesting and enjoyable, although Alpena, MI wasn't for us. Mackinac Island and The Grand Hotel lived up to its reputation, but we did both included tours (walking and by horse-drawn carriage) that covered almost identical routes and dialogs, so we'd recommend picking the one you want, then tour around on your own. We thought Point Pelee, Canada was going to be our least favorite, but turned out to be one of the best. This was where the crew launched some of their toys. We went kayaking through a marshland game preserve and went on a high speed Special Operations boat tour that was one of the highlights of the cruise. Niagara Falls "behind the falls tour" was also a highlight.
Pros: Beautiful ship, great service; excellent food choices
Cons: Detroit port call of 5.5 hours was too short; itinerary could have allowed 10 hours

Again, while the food was outstanding, all but two meals were buffet.
Pros: Fantastic ship, stateroom we had was small, but extremely well designed to create storage space for rooms much larger. Buffet food the best we have encountered. Staff was universally excellent.
Cons: All but two meals were from buffet, so if you like being served, this is not for you. Point Pelee stop was very disappointing.
