Renowned for river and ocean cruising, Norway-founded Viking spun its compass to harder-to-reach locations – and icy waters – with the launch of the 378-passenger Viking Octantis in May 2022 and her identical ice-strengthened sister ship Polaris a few months later. They blend hi-tech stabilising features with five-star service and Scandi interior style to ensure guests have their adventures of a lifetime in comfort.

My shipmate is complaining. Her eyes hurt. My own arms are aching. Seasickness on the notoriously rough Drake Passage is one of the hazards of cruising to Antarctica, but no one ever mentions binocular fatigue. Symptoms of this little-known condition, brought on by prolonged periods of spying at spectacular scenery and wildlife, may include sore triceps, blurred vision – and extreme elation. The only cure is more of the same.
