Viking Expeditions

Already a steadfast fixture in the world of river and ocean cruising, Viking Cruises are showing no sign of slowing down as they introduce their acclaimed ‘Viking Difference’ to the ever-expanding expedition cruising sphere.

The aptly named Viking Expeditions are on a mission to guide adventurous travellers through off-the-beaten track destinations such as Greenland, Canada’s Great Lakes and even Antarctica. To that end, they have developed a unique blend of sophisticated luxury, educational enrichment and engaging cultural immersion simply not found elsewhere.

Large enough to provide spacious and stable conditions for guests, yet small enough to foster an intimate atmosphere and navigate isolated areas, the line’s two purpose-built expedition vessels have been optimally designed with Viking’s ‘luxury-first’ ethos in mind.

With no need to compromise on either comfort or style, Viking Expedition guests can look forward to the same premium service, elegantly furnished staterooms, world-class dining, and sumptuous public spaces as they would find on any Viking ship, with the added perk of unique scientific experiences only found on an expedition cruise. A true pioneer of the movement to blend luxury with responsible travel, Viking Expeditions has set the bar high and redefined what it means to sustainably see the world in style.
