Find Out More About Viking Cruises
The Viking Polaris Cruise Ship is the ninth ship in the Viking Ocean Cruises fleet. It was launched in 2022 and underwent a significant refurbishment in 2025. The update refreshed interiors, dining spaces and onboard technology and with capacity for 930 guests, Viking Polaris offers a calm and spacious environment designed to place destinations at the heart of the journey.
Viking Polaris sails routes that include Northern Europe cruises, Mediterranean cruises and scenic coastal regions of the Americas. These itineraries focus on longer stays in port, giving guests time to explore cities, landscapes and cultural landmarks at an unhurried pace.
Polaris’ dining programme is shaped around fresh, locally inspired cuisine. The Main Restaurant presents menus that reflect the flavours of the regions visited, using seasonal ingredients and contemporary European recipes.
The World Café provides relaxed buffet dining with live cooking stations, while Manfredi’s Italian Restaurant serves traditional Italian dishes in a warm and intimate setting. The Chef’s Table offers a tasting experience with multi course menus paired with carefully selected wines.
Panoramic lounges such as the Wintergarden and Explorer’s Lounge provide ocean views and comfortable seating. Complimentary beverages are served, creating an inviting space for conversation and quiet reflection.
All staterooms on the Viking Polaris Cruise Ship include private verandas that allow natural light and uninterrupted sea views. Interiors are designed with simplicity in mind, using soft tones, natural materials and king size beds.
Guests who prefer additional space can choose Penthouse Verandas or Explorer Suites, which offer larger living areas and enhanced amenities. The ship’s layout ensures a strong connection to the ocean from both private and shared spaces.
One of the defining features of Viking Polaris is its Observation Deck. This dedicated space offers 270 degree views, making it ideal for watching sunsets, wildlife and dramatic coastlines. The ship also features modern public areas, destination inspired artwork and a layout designed to maximise light and open sightlines.
Guests can enjoy a curated library and an onboard cinema showing films and documentaries linked to the regions visited, reinforcing the focus on exploration rather than onboard spectacle.
The Viking Polaris Cruise Ship is well suited to travellers who value immersion, scenery and thoughtful design. With its recent refurbishment, panoramic Observation Deck and destination focused itineraries, Polaris offers a refined way to experience the world by sea without unnecessary distractions.
