Viking has just confirmed more dates for its 2024 expedition journeys, including the massive 65-day Ushuaia to Milwaukee trip in February 2024.

One of Viking’s expedition vessels, Viking Octantis, offers guests more outdoor viewing areas than any other expedition ship, with floor-to-ceiling windows throughout.    

“I have been fortunate enough to have sailed onboard Viking Octantis and whilst I know I shouldn’t have favourites – I do think she is my favourite Viking ship,” Viking ANZ managing director Michelle Black said.

“I just love the clever design of our vessels which means that there are so many viewing areas throughout the ship; whether you are outside relaxing on the stunning Finse Terrace, in your stateroom or having dinner, you don’t have to miss a thing.

“This considered design feature has also proved extremely popular with our guests that have sailed onboard during our inaugural expedition sailing seasons in Antarctica and North America’s Great Lakes with demand for 2024 driving this further release of dates.”

Viking Polaris boasts similar features to Octantis, combining maximum comfort with complete views of some of the most impressive scenery on the planet.
