Had a lovely visit onboard the Viking Polaris expedition ship, currently sailing the Great Lakes and having its first stop of the season in the Port of Toronto. This understatedly elegant vessel has so many great feature, from a hangar with submersibles and special ops boats to a science lab and plenty of nooks to enjoy some quiet time with a book and a coffee. The Polaris is rated as an icebreaker, and explores Antarctica 🇦🇶 part of the year, moving up to the Great Lakes in summer and on to the Arctic Circle.
