These scientific opportunities provide a level of onboard education and enrichment never before seen on a cruise ship. ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE Our ships exceed the International Maritime Organization Energy Efficiency Design Index requirements by almost 36% and our dynamic positioning mode, enabling a "hover in place" preserves sensitive wildlife habitats on the sea floor. Our revolutionary incinerator process means we have zero emissions waste treatment. NORDIC BALCONIES There are balconies, and then there is the Viking Nordic Balcony: harnessing the Norwegian reverence for light and creating the optimal wildlife observatory at sea. Floor-to-ceiling, distortion-free glass at the very edge of the ship lets you take the views in while keeping the elements out. To feel even closer to nature, the top of your panoramic glass lowers to transform your stateroom into a sheltered al fresco lookout, with an observation shelf at elbow level. ATTENTION TO DETAIL Our aim has always been to create a comfortable environment on board our ships, so we have focused on making things as straightforward and as easy to operate as possible. Our TV remote controls have just a few, intuitive buttons. Our bathrooms have spacious showers, simple-to-use controls and our toiletries are clearly labelled and feature flip-top caps. Power outlets in staterooms are plentiful and conveniently located. In public spaces, you will find square-backed chairs that are easier for hanging jackets. We've thought of every detail, so you can focus on exploring and learning about the destination. 9 Call us on 138 747 (AU), 0800 447 913 (NZ) or contact your local Viking travel agent
