Viking Expeditions

Cruise Search

You can select more than one option in most of the form fields. Here are explanations of the search options we get asked about the most often:

Departure Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that start in a specific port, you can specify it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that start at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if you only want to view cruises that start in either New York or Boston.

→ In the "Advanced Search"

Arrival Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that end in a specific port, you can specify it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that end at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if you only want to view cruises that end in either New York or Boston.

Ports of Call: You can the type name of one port that you would like all your search results to include. For example, if you type Barcelona all of the search results will include cruises that include Barcelona (even if it's not a starting or ending port in the itinerary). Be sure to spell the port name correctly!

Max Occupancy: Allows you to view search results that only include ships that have accommodations for a minimum amount of people per room. For example, if you select "5 and more" your search results will only include ships that have at least one room type that would accommodate at least 5 people. The pricing that displays on the search results page will be the per person pricing based on a room for two people. Proceed further in the online booking process to view the pricing for accommodations for a different occupancy.

Kid-Friendly: Shows cruises that are great choices for those traveling with children and teens. Includes ships with youth programs and/or youth-friendly public spaces. Programs and public spaces are subject to change, at the discretion of the cruise line.

→ Cruise Only vs Cruise Line Tour

If you check the Cruise Only option, you will only see results that are for a cruise vacation. If you check the Cruise Line Tour option, you will only see vacations that include a cruise + land tour package (also known as a Cruise Tour). Leave both unchecked to view results that include both vacation types.

Expedition Innovation
Viking has really thought of the best ways to provide expedition vacations to their guests through industry-leading features. The Hangar is an industry first aboard Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris. This enclosed in-ship marina allows guests to board a Zodiac, kayak, submarine, and boat away from winds and waves inside the ship’s slipway. The comfortable craft sails right into the water for your excursion. A fleet of stable, yet comfortable Military Pro Zodiacs built for professional use in any environment and Arctic-tested, 2-seater kayaks with a hands-free pedal system allow you to snap photos of your majestic surroundings while sailing across the seas! Of course, guests can instead use paddles if preferred. Viking Expeditions' submarines can accommodate 6 guests and a pilot, offering a truly unique underwater experience. The revolving seats, plus the nearly 270° spherical windows, offer a fantastic view.

Unmatched Dining Options
All restaurants and dining rooms are completely free on Viking Expeditions. Whether it be the elegant main dining room or one of the many individual specialty restaurants, you can eat wherever you desire without incurring extra costs. Viking’s well-trained team of chefs works tirelessly to deliver carefully prepared, gourmet dishes right to your table. Each night, dinner becomes the culinary highlight with an amazing five-course fine dining experience for every traveler. Viking’s attentive and courteous staff is always there to deliver each and every one of your desires.

Elegant Balconies and Suites

What's New for Viking Expeditions?

Octantis and Polaris will spend their Austral summer of 2025 in Antarctica, planning to return to the Great Lakes voyages in the spring, summer, and early fall.

In 2024 Viking Expeditions announced two new itineraries in the Great Lakes for the 2026 sailing season. Octantis and Polaris will sail roundtrip from Milwaukee with port calls in Chicago, Canada’s Fathom Five National Marine Park, and Benjamin Islands, and between Toronto and Milwaukee with a chance to explore Niagara Falls, Canada’s Point Pelee National Park, and the Welland Canal.

Every Viking Expeditions cruise provides opportunities for meaningful scientific discovery. In early 2024, an expedition team aboard Octantis supported the discovery of a new penguin colony in Antarctica.

In 2023, the cruise line announced its plans to offer new itineraries in the Arctic in 2025, offering guests to explore the polar north in Canada and Greenland.
