"The cruise was cut short by one day due to a monster storm that came out of nowhere with high winds and waves - it was spectacular to see it on the weather display monitor in the science area.A cruise of the Great Lakes last summer was my first with Viking Expeditions on their "Octantis", and the service and beautiful ship were definitely a convincing factor in my choice for Antarctica...."Read More

Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Viking Polaris

Like on their ocean cruises they pipe nondescript classical muzak on the loudspeaker system incessantly, making for the ambiance of an elevator in a department store. You can escape to your cabin or to the scarce outdoors areas if they haven’t stoved the furniture - which they actually do all the time because the cushions aren’t waterproof. Not that it matters much because there is no shade to be ...

We wanted to experience more of Vikings excellent service, cleanliness, hospitality and excursions as well as water vessel expeditions of the Great Lakes.
The entire staff was informative, fun and professional and went over and beyond to keep passengers safe and happy. Combining excursions such as Niagara Falls, CA, tours & stops of cities, Cleveland & Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Detroit & Henry ...

I wanted to cruise the great lakes from Toronto to Duluth. What caught my interest was an exhibition cruise; and it was. It was a learning experience from knowledgeable historians, geologists, marine scientists, and crew members on a cruise ship with a very high crew to passenger ratio. It had a self contained submersible (six person sub), kayaking, Zodiak, and special operation boat that ...

We chose this cruise for its itinerary (all 5 Great Lakes) and a chance to try Viking for the first time. We had heard excellent things about the line from friends and our travel agent, so we selected this sailing. It proved to be a terrific choice. We have taken a number of cruises (both traditional and expedition), so we are experienced with evaluating a cruise line and an individual ship. ...

My wife chose this cruise because she didn’t want to go abroad for a cruise this time. We have cruised Viking Ocean previously, most recently in September 2021. Thank God they are past their COVID paranoia.
The Viking Polaris is a Expedition ship. It has a capacity of about 370. On our cruise there were 340. The design of the ship is such that it never felt crowded. The overall feel of the ...

We wanted something to try something new for our 40th anniversary. We have been on several ocean cruises and ultimately decided on this cruise because it look fun and interesting.
For stateroom review see below.
The food on board was delicious overall. There were very few dishes I tried that were not my cup of tea but overall all three meals were top notch each day. Open buffet breakfast, ...

Just ended the June 10th, 2023 cruise with Viking Polaris that started in Toronto, Canada and ended in Duluth, MN.
The above average friendliness and helpfulness of all the staff is superb. The expedition team from Argentina was absolutely fun and excellent. This is and expedition ship and itinerary with an emphasis in "science" and active excursions. The ship has many "toys" including a ...

For a while have been contemplating a Viking cruise after having done other brands and the total passenger number was the first allure followed by customer reviews online. This was a last minute trip with little planning on our part and were we surprised and impressed. Top notch accommodations, exquisite decor, calm atmosphere, delicious food and never did we feel surrounded by more than 40-50 ...

My previous Viking Cruise was the Romantic Danube cruise taken in May, 2018. One of the couples that I traveled with on that cruise, and I, decided to take another Viking cruise. But because of Covid, we decided to stay in the USA and chose the Niagara & the Great Lakes to avoid traveling overseas. Overall, it was a great experience, although I must admit that I did not totally understand the ...

I was very interested in the itinerary. I researched other companies and Viking seemed to be the best option for us. I liked that the ship is smaller and that there is not a constant party atmosphere. Every area of the ship was comfortable, beautifully decorated and not crowded. The food was excellent every day. Really loved the fresh sushi. Local items were a nice touch, especially the cheese ...
