About this ship
Viking Polaris entered service in 2022 as part of Viking Expeditions' fleet, built by Vard, a Fincantieri subsidiary. The ship carries 378 passengers, making it an intimate vessel designed for expedition travel to remote destinations.
With its smaller size and passenger capacity, Viking Polaris enables access to ports and waterways that larger cruise ships cannot reach, making it well suited for exploratory itineraries in regions like the Arctic and Antarctic.
