Viking Polaris

Great experience

June

Pros: Lovely ship. Very clean. Unbelievable staff.

Cons: Too many meals at buffet. Hectic at buffet. Excursions seemed kind of short and could have started earlier i the day.

Recommended: Yes

Very expensive. Drinks and all excursions should be included for the price. Drinks were expensive when we did buy them. No price break for solo traveler in fact twice that of double occupancy pp rate. Beautiful ship. Incredibly clean. Amazing staff. Would definitely cruise Viking again and I think more things should be included for price. Staff quickly came up with excursion options when ship was delayed leaving port. Very nice. Would like more dining options (included) for table service dinners.

Polaris. Canada

May

Pros: Beautiful ship, wonderful staff, great food, interesting science “experiments”, knowledgeable expedition staff

Cons: Extremely slippery steps into spa pool, ( I plus 2 others I know of fell on steps)

Recommended: Yes

Had a wonderful time. One of best trips ever. Would have liked an Anne of Green Gables related tour in Nova Scotia. Enjoyed the Zodiac & Special Ops boats but weather did limit use.
