MORE THAN JUST AN EXPEDITION SHIP
Our purpose-built expedition ships are fully
equipped research vessels. At the core of Viking
Expeditions is the goal to undertake meaningful
scientific work. With the help of partnerships with
esteemed academic institutions we have created
the world's leading scientific enrichment
environment in an expedition setting.
During each expedition, visiting researchers from
partner institutions are part of the 36-person
Viking Expedition Team. This diverse group of
experts lead guests through meaningful scientific
work, providing guidance and interpretation
during shore excursions and delivering world-class
lectures. The Science Laboratory, complete with
wet and dry capabilities allows our scientists to
conduct meaningful research while encouraging
guest interaction and participation – an experience
exclusive to Viking.
YOUNGEST EXPEDITION FLEET
With both of our purpose-built vessels debuting in
2022, Viking offers the newest fleet of expedition
ships in the industry.
AMONG THE MOST SPACIOUS
Viking is known for our elegant ships featuring
public spaces that are bright and airy with plenty of
room providing guests a comfortable home away
from home while exploring the far reaches of the
world. With nearly the highest space-to-guest
ratio, Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris offer a
more intimate ambience on board some of the
most spacious expedition ships afloat.
