VIKING POLARIS First Impressions -- 4K Version

- Apologies as my first upload of this video was in very poor quality. Here is a much nicer 4K version of my walk through of the deluxe expedition cruiser VIKING POLARIS during a two week voyage from Fort Lauderdale to Toronto. This exquisite ship is the second of two identical expedition ships operated by Viking and is loaded with all sorts of expedition gear for itineraries that range from Antarctica to the Great Lakes. Although a full Decked! top-to-bottom tour is coming soon, this walk through gives the viewer a very detailed impression of what this unique ship has to offer. Artlist song used: "In The Hall Of The Mountain King" by Edvard Grieg and performed Kasheido. #vikingcruises #myvikingstory #vikingpolaris #smallshipcruising #expeditioncruiseships #vikingexpedition #quirkycruise #onassignmentwithquirkycruise
4k Amazing !!! If only we could have got ship breaking videos too 4k 😇
Quality tour and insights. Thanks for making this!
Thank you, BrightSun! :)
Love it! So many thoughtful details on this ship, all beautifully documented by Peter and Mike.
Thanks again Peter. Fantastic ship. I loved the Scandinavian design. The way you were communicating with Mike reminded me of Howell Houser. Thanks again for making my Sunday morning.
Thank you, Frank! LOL, I used to be a fan of Huell Houser, so maybe he was a subliminal influence. :)
Thank you for sharing Peter.
Thank you, Chris!
We were on this same cruise with you!! Thank you for the video which helps to refresh so many memories of the ship and the cruise!!
Thank you, Faith. :)
Such high quality. You’ll be at 10k in no time!
Will be on the Polaris in September on the Great Lakes and cannot wait.Long way for Aussies to travel but will be worth it.
Wishing you great flights and an excellent trip. That is a long haul. :)
Aloha from Hawaii. Nicely done!
Aloha and thank you. :)
Thank you for this informative video. We are catching her this Monday at New York to Toronto.
Oh, fantastic! I hope you have a wonderful voyage on her! Thanks for watching. :)
Such a lovely ship, excellent views, I wouldn't have minded having a cappuccino with you 😊😊. A very nicely decorated ship. Viking ships are beautiful.
Well, we need to do a cappuccino one day. A real one, not those latte-like ones in big soup bowl cups that are so popular now. Thanks for watching and posting. :)
@@midshipcinema agree, a good cappuccino. I would really enjoy that and in a bigger bowl like you said 😊😊 always a pleasure watching. You're welcome.
You did an awesome job on the tour. Wish it had been published before I booked mine. I would have had much less trepidation for the year waiting to get aboard. You should have gotten a cabin on the floor above, they have twice the closet space. We only used a quarter of it. Plus it has free laundry.
Thank you so much, Jake. I'll be doing another, more detailed look at the ship at some point in the near future. So glad you enjoyed it and yes, if the ship weren't fully booked, we would have loved to get one of the cabins a deck higher. :)
@@midshipcinema We boarded about 2 or 3 weeks after your trip and saw many of the same crew. Jose Carlos, your coffee guy was amazing and one of our favorites. I notice you don’t spend much time on the food which I must say is refreshing. At that level of cruising the food should be as outstanding as it was. Again, a very good production.
Hi Peter. I love these 2 ships and what they can do. Especially the Aula. An incredible space for film, and lectures. I could also envision classical music performances must be incredible there too.
You know, if you put a die hard (Early/Late dinner) (show lounge, classic cabins, bells and whistles, cruise ship reviewer) on these ships, they don't seem to abide well with these ships at all, especially the "Lack of Set Structure, Exploration and Scientific" aspects of them either. Which is a shame. If you are going to sail on an Exploration ship, then ones mind must wish to go there as well.
I've seen some pretty awful failures since these ships came into service. I enjoyed your review.
Hi Jeremy! Yes, the Aula is a gorgeous and useful space. On our trip, they rarely lifted the screen but it was used in the eves for classical music and a great singer on a few occasions. This is definitely not a ship for the self-indulgent influencer types but savvy journalist type reviewers have been giving both OCTANTIS and POLARIS their much-deserved raves. Viking seems to know its market well. Thanks for sharing and posting. I do plan to do a full top to bottom Decked! tour soon. :)
Alright you convince me to go sail on that vessel Viking smaller ships for expedition looks like they're Peter you have a great day and your significant other to🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Very Modern Ship, But It Is Pretty Nice
She's a rare example of modern maritime beauty. Thanks for watching. :)
This looks much better! Did you find out the cause?
Thanks, Frank! Just dumb me who created a low res version after a disastrous attempt at trying to load a super high res version that was literally taking about 30 hours. I went from too large to too small and now have found the right size file to make.
No as far as the winter garden goes I hope they bolted more stuff to the deck than they did on the other one and I'm not talking about the other expedition there are oceans going ship
Any of the ports on the Nile. Very aggressive selling tactics.
