Creator's Key Takeaways

The word expedition doesn't mean you have to be an Olympic athlete or a hardcore outdoor adventurer.

If you can walk up and down two flights of stairs and get in and out of a bathtub unassisted, you'll be fine.

The Viking Expedition ship will feel very familiar to Viking Ocean guests.

The crown jewel of the hanger are the two yellow submarines whose names on Octantis are John and Paul and on Polaris George and Ringo.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider a Great Lakes cruise first to get a feel for an expedition cruise if you're worried about fitness levels.
Use the provided gear for polar region activities to save luggage space.
