This is the way to explore

Discover some of the remotest destinations across the globe with Viking Expeditions & United Cruises

There’s a reason travelers rank Viking #1 in expeditions. Actually, there are several. With Viking expeditions you’ll have once-in-a-lifetime experiences at the most incredible destinations. Better yet, you’ll get there by ships that are designed for both exploration and luxury.

The nimble Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris are capable of bringing you directly incredible destinations that other ships can’t reach. That enables you to kayak among Antarctic glaciers, spot rockhopper penguins in the wild, and see the engineering marvel of the Panama Canal up close. And all the equipment and specialty outerwear for these expeditions is included in your fare – no need to pack extra gear.

Shore excursions are guided by scientists and naturalists to give you a deeper understanding of your experience. Viking Expeditions works alongside partners like the Scott Polar Research Institute and Scripps Institution of Oceanography. This is more than travel. It’s exploration.

After a day of exploring on shore, you can continue your enrichment with onboard lectures and lab work or you can enjoy some well-earned relaxation. The Nordic Spa will help you unwind, while heated couches on deck will keep you comfortable while you take in the sights. Of course, your stateroom is also designed to maximize your view, with floor to ceiling windows.

With unparalleled access to amazing destinations and top-of-the-line shipboard amenities, it’s easy to see why Viking Expeditions is the choice for expedition cruises.
