Secrets of the Polar World with the Viking Polaris


Launched in 2022 by Viking Ocean Cruises, the Viking Polaris embodies the rare alliance between expedition technology and Scandinavian art of living. Built by Fincantieri and equipped with a PC6-class hull, this 30,150-ton expedition vessel welcomes 378 passengers into a haven of light and refinement. Its sleek and elegant design, inspired by Nordic nature, reflects the philosophy of the Viking Polaris: to travel with serenity, curiosity, and respect for the world.

Boreal elegance at the ocean’s edge

Havens of pure light

The suites of the Viking Polaris are true Nordic retreats, bathed in light and pure harmony. Natural materials, blond wood, soft stone, light linen, and elegant marble, create a calming atmosphere open to the infinite sea. Each offers a private balcony, butler service, a heated marble bathroom, and a minibar replenished daily. Scandinavian comfort expresses itself in every detail, discreet, essential, and beautifully refined.

Harmonious living spaces

In the lounges of the Viking Polaris, design meets human warmth and unmistakable Scandinavian elegance. The Panorama Lounge, the Living Room, and the Library form the vibrant heart of the ship: large panoramic windows frame the horizon while fireplaces cast a gentle and soothing glow. The subtle balance between intimacy and conviviality reflects the ship’s Nordic spirit, a place where time stretches and the journey becomes a genuine art of living.

Horizons of serenity

On the exterior decks of the Viking Polaris, guests savor the serenity of the open sea and its silent beauty. The Finse Terrace, equipped with an outdoor fireplace, evokes Norwegian mountain lodges and invites contemplation before the icy expanses, while the Infinity Pool blends naturally into the polar landscape. The hot baths, glass-enclosed lounges open to the horizon, and the whispering wind create a tableau of balance, purity, and luminous new freedom.

Polar flavors aboard Viking Polaris

Nordic-inspired tables

The restaurants on Viking Polaris offer an exceptional and refined gastronomic experience: The Restaurant for elevated international cuisine, Manfredi’s for refined Italian flavors, and The World Café for dishes prepared freshly to order. The chefs highlight fresh products from the regions explored in a bright, elegant, and warmly inviting atmosphere where each meal becomes a true celebration of the senses and the entire unforgettable and beautifully crafted voyage.

Flavors and gustatory discoveries

Aboard Viking Polaris, every menu reflects the diversity and richness of the itineraries: cold-water fish, South American spices, Chilean wines, and delicate Scandinavian sweets. The Pool Grill and the Aquavit Terrace allow guests to savor these dishes outdoors, facing the changing landscapes and the ever-shifting northern sky. Meals become moments of sharing and discovery, where gastronomy aligns with the emotion of the journey in an authentic and memorable culinary art.

Evenings of polar softness

When night falls, Viking Polaris reveals a soft, warm, and poetic ambiance. The Explorers’ Lounge overlooks the ice through vast panoramic windows, while the Finse Bar invites guests to enjoy musical and convivial moments. The golden light, the silhouettes of the icebergs, and the piano notes blend into a soothing harmony, transforming each evening into a suspended interlude between sky and sea, where silence becomes music and beauty becomes memory.

Horizons of exploration and emotion

Soulful and adventurous stopovers

The Viking Polaris travels through the most remote regions of the globe: the Antarctic Peninsula, Patagonia, the Falkland Islands, and the legendary channels of Magellan. Its interior hangar simplifies boarding for Zodiacs and kayaks, while the exploration submarines reveal the astonishing beauty of the ocean depths. On board, a scientific laboratory invites guests to observe polar wildlife and engage with researchers. This immersive approach connects every traveler to the very essence of thoughtful exploration.

Well-being and renewal

The LivNordic Spa of the Viking Polaris embodies the pure philosophy of Nordic wellness. A dry sauna, snow grotto, hot pools, and treatments using arctic plants come together to create absolute relaxation. The panoramic fitness center and sunrise yoga sessions offer a moment of deep and grounding recentring. This marine sanctuary blends natural energy, light, and silence, redefining the experience of serene and beautifully elevated luxury.

Evenings of quiet emotion

The nights aboard the Viking Polaris combine science, emotion, and inspiring poetry. The Aula, a 180° glass auditorium, hosts fascinating lectures, film screenings, and captivating expedition stories that spark curiosity and imagination. In this gentle atmosphere, travelers share the passion of explorers and the fragile beauty of icy worlds. Music, light, and the sea merge into a harmonious and graceful ballet, reflecting the Viking Polaris and its spirit of exploration.

Distant horizons aboard the Viking Polaris

Paths toward the unknown

The Viking Polaris connects the poles with graceful elegance, sailing from the Norwegian fjords to the Antarctic Peninsula, from Cape Horn to the Argentine coasts. Its silent propulsion system, advanced stabilization, and hybrid engines ensure smooth, safe, and environmentally responsible navigation. This cutting-edge vessel combines exploration, comfort, and ecological awareness, symbolizing with modern grace the new era of sustainable and truly inspiring polar travel.

Cultures and flavors of the world

Each itinerary of the Viking Polaris blends adventure with cultural immersion, linking continents through discovery and taste. From Chilean wine tastings to local markets, from Argentine traditions to the arts of the fjords, every stop reveals the living spirit of the communities encountered. These authentic experiences enrich the journey with deep human emotions and meaningful discoveries, inviting travelers to celebrate the world’s remarkable richness in all its simplicity and refinement.

Light and eternal moments

Under the austral skies, the Viking Polaris becomes a true observatory of beauty and silence. Travelers admire the northern lights, the silvery reflections of the ice, and the gentle softness of the polar twilight. These suspended moments, lived from the panoramic terrace or from suites bathed in luminous light, recall the essence of travel itself: to contemplate, to feel, to marvel, and to let nature write its own delicate and profoundly timeless and resonant poetry.
