Sad to hear about the Viking Polaris situation, having taken 5 prior Viking ocean trips and 2 river. I noticed in Amsterdam the Polaris unique bow configuration and wondered at that time of its suitability in offshore situations. Seems like this vessel would be taking more “green water “ in rough conditions than the more conventional bow design. Although not a marine architect, I have sailed a few small boats offshore over many years. So called rogue waves are not all that uncommon. Can anyone add more information to this ?
