Viking – Expedition Cruises
VIKING EXPEDITION CRUISE DESTINATIONS
Destination focused. Culturally enriching. Carefully curated..
Viking Expeditions - Antarctica
It is a profound experience to set eyes upon Antarctica for the first time. Breathtaking vistas, otherworldly wildlife and the journey itself leave an indelible mark on visitors. Here is a land of paradoxes: the world's biggest desert that is also the world's largest ice sheet, nearly two miles thick. Virtually unexplored just 150 years ago, this continent belongs to no nation, and is protected by an international treaty for peaceful scientific pursuit.
Viking Expeditions - Arctic
Explore the top of the world and experience the stark beauty of the Arctic, where polar bears reign and blue ice floats serenely on the horizon. Here it is silent and still one moment, a cacophony of migrating birds, barking seals and crackling icebergs the next. From the seas surrounding Svalbard to thr far northern Norwegian archipelago of frozen tundra, dramatic fjords and remote human settlements witness this world awakening from winter slumber to the midnight sun.
Viking Expeditions - Galapagos Islands
Equal parts culture, archaeology and wildlife, this spectacular journey highlights Peru's Incan past and the natural splendor of the Galapagos. On your Galapagos cruise you will journey ashore to encounter unique wildlife from the Galapagos albatross and Santa Fe iguana to the red-footed and blue-footed boobies.
