Viking Cruises

T H E V I K I N G E X P E D I T I O N E X P E R I E N C E e Viking Way of exploration A VIKING EXPEDITION is truly a unique way to see some of the most remote and pristine regions on the planet, from the Great Lakes of North America to Antarctica – the world's last truly wild frontier. A Viking Expedition is an altogether different style of cruising to Viking Ocean and Viking River voyages you may be familiar with. To embark on a Viking Expedition is to embark on a true adventure – in comfort. Accompanied by a highly skilled expedition team of up to 36 experts, every day brings opportunities for discovery coupled with moments of awe. On an expedition, as guests of nature we follow its lead. We let the wildlife and the things we observe, like a magnificent glacier calving, set our flexible agenda. We strive to capture incredible moments as they occur, resulting in a unique experience every time we set sail. Excursions and shore landings, led by our highly skilled Expedition Team, offer unparalleled views of remote landscapes and incredible wildlife. And while we will make every effort to accommodate your excursion selections, environmental factors may dictate adjustments to your itinerary or preferred excursions, which is the very nature of an expedition. Like the great explorers who have ventured before you, we believe that flexibility and opportunity go hand in hand, often leading to the most surprising and delightful discoveries. "ere are levels of participation across the ship where you can join the expedition team. ey might be as simple as watching wildlife on the outer decks, where the staff are happy to answer any of your questions as they point out species of interest using your supplied binoculars or analysing plankton and the microplastic study back in the science lab."
