Innovative ships designed for comfort and exploration
FEW PLACES ARE AS OTHERWORLDLY AS
ANTARCTICA, with its raw sculpted landscapes
awash in blue and white. Here nature is at its most
flawless—an experience sure to transform visitors.
The ideal time to explore is the Antarctic summer,
starting in November when cold, windy weather
turns to 24-hour sunlight and temperatures rise to
a comfortable 0° C. The ice melts, unlocking frozen
seaways. Activities maximize your interaction and
virtually all are included: explore by RIB, kayak,
submarine, zodiac and more. Here are some
highlights you may experience during your journey:
• Catch a glimpse of Gentoo penguins, Weddel
seals and blue whales
• Shore landings offer amazing opportunities for
wildlife viewing
• Included RIB excursions present stunning
scenery for photos
• Cross-country ski or snowshoe into the
peninsula's interior
• Excursions include an undersea dive in a
panoramic submarine
• As a citizen scientist, assist onboard scientists
with research
• Gain bragging rights for crossing the legendary
Drake Passage
AT VIKING, WE OFFER EXPLORATION IN
UNPRECEDENTED COMFORT. Sail to Antarctica
onboard ships that are appropriately sized and
purpose-built for an immersive polar experience.
Our expedition ships are small enough to navigate
in remote areas, slender enough to pass through
canals and large enough to provide speed, superior
handling and stability in rough seas.
100% POLAR CLASS
Both Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris have a Polar
Class notation, indicating the ships are designed
to travel safely to the polar regions. This means
