POLAR TO POLAR ANTARCTICA AND THE ARCTIC

A frankly astounding voyage, this itinerary from Viking spans 87 days and 12 countries. Available for the 2025-2026 season, the saga begins in Nuuk, Greenland where you can explore the Nuup Kangerlua Fjord by boat or kayak, witness fl oating icebergs and hike the Arctic coast; it concludes in the ‘Last Continent,’ where you’ll follow in the footsteps of intrepid adventurers and spend days exploring the dramatic landscapes. In between the far North and extreme South, you’ll explore Canada (look out for whales at the Saguenay Fjord and explore Toronto’s bustling foodie scene); Mexico (sail the Gulf of Mexico and visit a sacred pre-Columbian Mayan religious site); Panama; Ecuador; Peru; Chile (navigate the dramatic Chilean fjords) and Argentina (visit the ‘End of the World’ in Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego National Park). Your vessel is the Viking Octantis , a 655-ft Polar Class purpose-built expedition ship.
