Description

The Viking Polaris represents the evolution of ocean travel. Specifically designed to explore the planet’s most remote destinations, the ship combines the comfort and elegance of Viking’s award-winning fleet with polar navigation capabilities, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the world’s most extraordinary and isolated regions. Measuring 203 meters in length and 23 meters in beam, the ship accommodates just 378 guests, served by a crew of 256, ensuring attentive service, personalized care and a sense of exclusivity throughout the journey.

On board, dining ranges from the gourmet creations of Manfredi’s Italian Restaurant to the more casual offerings of the World Café, as well as outdoor meals on the Aquavit Terrace, where the views and fresh air become part of the experience. For those seeking relaxation and wellness, the ship offers pools, hot tubs, the Nordic Spa and fully equipped fitness areas. Culture and knowledge are always within reach: the Science Lab and Expedition Central allow guests to explore natural history and the wonders of the destinations visited, while lounges such as The Living Room, the Explorers’ Lounge and the library provide elegant spaces for reading, conversation or simply contemplating the sea.

The staterooms on the Viking Polaris, all designed with Viking’s signature understated elegance, combine comfort, style and functionality, creating personal retreats from which to observe icebergs, remote coastlines and polar skies.
