2027 Pole to Pole Expedition

81-Day Nuuk to Ushuaia

Viking Expeditions invites you to embark on the 2027 Arctic to Antarctica Explorer on board Viking Octantis. Begin in Nuuk, Greenland, sailing along the rugged shorelines of the Canadian High Arctic, traverse gorgeous St. Lawrence Seaway to the Great Lakes. Admire stunning fall foliage in the Canadian Maritimes and visit culturally rich cities, such as Quebec City, Halifax and New York. Tuck into true hidden gems in The Bahamas and Jamaica. Transit the Panama Canal then glide south along the South American coastline, visiting vibrant Santiago and Lima. Take in the beauty of the Chilean fjords, cruise to Antarctica and South Georgia before concluding in Ushuaia. Delve into the awe-inspiring landscapes, look for wildlife and experience the thrill of a zodiac shore landing. Search for penguin colonies, breaching whales, colorful bird colonies and gain a new perspective from your onboard expedition team. You will delight in the spacious Scandinavian design and understated elegance of the intimate Viking Polar Class expedition vessel that serves as your home away from home.
