Overview

Dare to venture to the ends of the Earth with a Viking Expedition Cruise, a journey designed for the curious and adventurous soul.

Hear the crunch of ice beneath your feet as you stand on an untouched polar landscape, or feel the spray of a waterfall on your face as you navigate remote fjords.

Aboard your purpose-built vessel, you’ll find a haven of comfort and cutting-edge technology, offering panoramic views that blur the lines between indoors and out.

With a team of world-class scientists and lecturers, you won’t just see the world, you'll understand it. This isn't just a cruise; it's a profound exploration designed for the truly curious traveler.

The custom-built ships, Viking Octantis and Polaris, provide an exceptionally comfortable and stable platform, featuring amenities like the innovative Hangar, an enclosed marina that allows for convenient, comfortable launch and recovery of Zodiacs and kayaks even in inclement weather, alongside science labs for deeper engagement.

The planet's most remote and awe-inspiring destinations await, so contact The Cruise Web to start planning your extraordinary expedition.

Dress Code: Dress is casual and comfortable during the day for excursions, and the evening dress code is always Elegant Casual. There are no formal nights, with Elegant Casual meaning slacks and a collared shirt for men and a dress, skirt, or slacks with a blouse for women.
