A purpose-built expedition ship for 378 guests — Antarctica, the Arctic and the Great Lakes in Scandinavian comfort.
Viking Polaris is a purpose-built expedition ship carrying just 378 guests in understated Scandinavian elegance to the world's most extraordinary destinations. Launched in 2022 and named for the North Star that has guided explorers for centuries, she ventures from the ice of Antarctica to the Arctic and the Great Lakes of North America.
Constructed to Polar Class 6 standards, Polaris balances serious expedition equipment — Special Operations Boats, two submarines, kayaks and a protected hangar — with the hallmarks of a Viking voyage: the Nordic Spa, thoughtful dining venues and spacious all-veranda staterooms. A team of resident scientists and an onboard laboratory bring the surrounding wilderness to life.
