TODAY’S issue of Cruise Weekly is coming to you courtesy of Viking aboard the brand new Viking Polaris.
Our first day of Antarctic action is taking place at Half Moon Bay in the South Shetland Islands, where upon arrival the Viking team quickly deployed the two on-board submarines, Zodiacs, and Special Operations Boats.
A shore landing gave guests the opportunity to catch their first sight of penguins, with chinstraps and gentoos frolicking around a nesting area and struggling up and down a “penguin highway” to their feeding ground.
The first contingent of divers was able to head beneath the surface in the six-passenger submersibles, while there was high speed jet boat action aplenty on the Special Operations Boats as they cruised past the icy landscapes.
