Contribute to scientific studies alongside Viking scientists
OUR SHIPS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED AS
WORKING RESEARCH VESSELS
and we have created the world's leading scientific
enrichment environment in an expedition
setting. Exclusive partnerships with the Scott
Polar Research Institute at Cambridge University,
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA)—as well as other prestigious scientific
institutions—will match leading researchers and
educators with each expedition.
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, guiding and interpreting during shore
excursions or within The Science Laboratory.
SCIENCE ON BOARD AND ON SHORE
On board, guests will enjoy daily briefings and
world-class lectures about their destination – and
engage with working scientists from renowned
academic institutions in The Science Laboratory or
participate directly in citizen science programs.
On shore, guests can assist in fieldwork or interact
through experiential activities during landings
– such as monitoring birds to help identify
migratory patterns, or accompanying scientists to
collect samples.
