Viking Polaris is the second expedition cruise vessel built for Viking Cruises. Like her sister ship Viking Octantis, she can host 646 guests in 189 staterooms. Vertical bows, elongated hulls, and state-of-the-art stabilizers allow the ship to glide over waves for a comfortable cruise, while reinforced hulls ensure safe exploration among ice. The innovative “u-tank” stabilizers significantly reduce rolling by up to 50% when at anchor.
