Episode: 3
Presenter: Trevor Cochrane

Trevor visits the Hangar, where state-of-the-art expedition equipment and an enclosed marina redefine Antarctic exploration.

• Viking ships are designed as working research vessels, partnering with scientific institutions to conduct meaningful onboard research and enrich the expedition experience.
• The Hangar is Viking's dedicated hub for expedition equipment, featuring 17 military-grade pro Zodiacs, 2 Special Operations Boats, 16 two-seater kayaks, and 2 yellow submarines, enhancing your Antarctic exploration.
• Unlike typical Antarctic expeditions that require high fitness levels, Viking accommodates various fitness levels of guests with ease and safety.
• This industry-first enclosed in-ship marina offers an innovative solution for embarking and disembarking excursion crafts while protecting guests from harsh weather.
• A notable feature of the Hangar is its 25-meter slipway, allowing guests to board Special Operations Boats from a stable surface inside the ship, shielded from wind and waves.
• The Hangar includes FerryBoxes, advanced instruments that continuously measure and display important marine parameters, providing valuable data on water quality.
• With its exceptional facilities and focus on comfort, the Hangar significantly enhances the Viking expedition cruise experience, making exploration more accessible and enjoyable for all guests.
