ENERGY SMART

Viking’s expedition ships have set a new standard for responsible travel with an energyefficient design that exceeds the Energy Efficiency Design Index requirements by nearly 36%. In addition to an integrated bow that creates a longer waterline for the ships, engines with heat recovery systems and Azipod Electric Propulsion, Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris have received one of the industry’s first SILENT-E notations: the highest-level certification for quiet ship propulsion, minimising underwater noise pollution.
