Explore the world's most breathtaking destinations with Viking Expeditions

Viking Expeditions invites you to discover the world in a whole new way. Launched in 2022, this exciting venture from Viking Cruises combines the brand's renowned luxury and attention to detail with the thrill of exploring the Earth's most remote corners. With a focus on immersive and environmentally responsible travel, Viking Expeditions turns every voyage into a journey of discovery, blending adventure and comfort like never before.

Sailing aboard two state-of-the-art vessels, Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris, Viking Expeditions takes you to some of the planet's most awe-inspiring destinations. Whether you're navigating the icy waters of Antarctica, exploring the rugged beauty of the Arctic, or uncovering the hidden gems of North America's Great Lakes, each moment on board is designed to deepen your understanding of the world around you.

These purpose-built expedition ships are marvels of modern design, featuring light-filled spaces that seamlessly connect indoor luxury with the great outdoors. Floor-to-ceiling windows, expansive observation decks, and cozy lounges invite you to immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscapes, while advanced expedition equipment—like kayaks, submarines, and Zodiacs—brings you up close to nature's wonders.

Immersive Exploration, Viking Style

At the heart of every Viking Expedition is the onboard Expedition Team, a group of scientists, historians, and naturalists whose expertise and passion bring each destination to life. Viking's unique Citizen Science Program invites guests to actively participate in collaborative science during excursions. Whether through experiential activities or fieldwork, facilitated by Zodiac landings, Special Operations Boat cruises, or optional submarine journeys, you'll engage with the natural world in a meaningful way.

Unparalleled Comfort and Innovation

Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris are designed with the modern explorer in mind. These ships feature The Aula, a panoramic auditorium inspired by the University of Oslo's ceremonial hall, where you can attend captivating presentations and documentaries. The Hangar, an innovative marina within the ship, ensures the seamless launch of expedition equipment in any weather, while the onboard laboratories invite you to contribute to citizen science programs.

Whether you're an avid adventurer or a curious traveler seeking a new perspective, Viking Expeditions offers voyages that will leave you enriched, inspired, and eager for more. Discover the beauty of the world's most remote places with Viking, where every journey is an invitation to explore the extraordinary.
