Discover the best destinations for personal encounters with local people and animals, from Antarctica and Patagonia to Galapagos, Svalbard and Greenland. Enjoy award-winning itineraries and luxury ships, for the perfect combination of adventure and comfort.

In 2022, Viking launched two new expedition ships, with the arrival of the identical 378-guest Polar Class Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris. Designed by the same experienced nautical architects and engineers that designed Viking’s award-winning Longships and ocean ships, the vessels are optimally sized and built for expeditions, with an integrated bow that creates a longer waterline for the ships; state-of-the-art fin stabilizers to allow the ships to glide over the waves for the calmest possible journey; and U-tank stabilizers that significantly decrease rolling by up to 50 percent when the ships are stationary. Both ships sail expedition itineraries in Antarctica and North America’s Great Lakes, including Antarctic Explorer (Buenos Aires-Ushuaia); Niagara & the Great Lakes (Toronto-Milwaukee); Undiscovered Great Lakes (Thunder Bay-Milwaukee).
