WELCOME
Welcome to our spring edition of Explore More
We have had a very exciting start to the year here at Viking with the announcement of
expeditions cruising in the Arctic, Antarctica and the Great Lakes. The addition of our two new
expedition vessels, Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris, will mean that we can offer guests an
even more comprehensive range of destinations, including trips to the polar regions.
We are also thrilled to be supporting the new exhibition, Picasso and Paper, which is showing
until April at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. We interviewed the renowned curator Ann
Dumas to find out more about Picasso’s ongoing fascination with all types of paper, and how
it influenced his art. Continuing the theme, we also have features on where you can go to see
more of Picasso’s work in Barcelona and Malaga.
For those of you who are keen cooks, we have a range of delicious recipes from Spain, sure
to conjure up memories of Spanish sunshine. And if you’re searching for a new book, check our
recommendations of novels that touch on the life of Picasso, the ancient treasures of Egypt and
epic adventures in the Arctic. We have rounded up some fun facts about penguins – a highlight
of any trip to Antarctica – and we take a closer look at the intricate skills involved in carving
totem poles, many of which are on show to guests visiting Alaska with Viking.
In November, we welcomed our new puppy, Hazel, into the Viking family. She is a calm and
happy girl who is bringing us much joy and has ensured an energetic start to the new year!
We wish you all a wonderful decade ahead, and look forward to seeing more of you at our
upcoming events.
Best wishes,
Managing Director, Viking UK
