Explore Antarctica, the Arctic, and the Great Lakes on Viking’s new purpose-built expedition ships. Learn about your destination from our Viking Resident Scientists and enrichment program, developed with Cambridge University and other leading academic institutions, and explore onshore and by sea with Viking’s fleet of small expedition vessels.

Antarctice is a land of paradoxes — the world's biggest desert 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. Join Viking on an Antarctica expedition and discover the many benefits of exploring the “White Continent” in Viking comfort.

Viking also invites you to explore the top of the world and experience the stark beauty of the Arctic, where grizzly bears reign and blue ice floats serenely on the horizon. Here it can be silent and still one moment, then come alive with a cacophony of migrating birds, barking seals and crackling icebergs the next.  From the Labrador Sea off the coast of Greenland to the icy wilderness of the Canadian High Arctic, witness this world awakening from its winter slumber to embracing the midnight sun. Discover this fascinating polar region in Viking comfort on an Arctic expedition. 

Discover natural wonders: from outstanding beauty to historic cities and a deep connection to nature in the Great Lakes, an undiscovered treasure with stunning national parks best explored via tranquil kayaking and hiking. This area is also rich in culture, with world-class museums, vibrant cities and areas steeped in First Nations traditions.
