With Viking Octantis, Viking Cruises is venturing into remote areas of the world to answer the call of adventure. Small ships, carrying under 400 passengers, are graced with modern, elegant elements of design that are clearly recognizable for fans of the iconic design of Viking Ocean cruise ships.

Familiar design brings familiar public spaces, notably at Manfredi’s and Mamsen’s, two onboard eateries serving classic Italian and Scandinavian fare, respectively.

Uniquely, Viking Octantis will boast best-at-sea enrichment programs, where guests have the opportunity to get down and dirty, immersing themselves in expedition destinations by aiding onboard scientists in real life studies.

Free-for-use expedition equipment, like kayaks and zodiacs, allow you to come face to face with wildlife and go places many people have never been.

Perhaps the most-talked-about features on the ship are the submarines. Each sub on Viking Octantis seats six guests and brings people far below the ocean’s surface, allowing everyone to see the world from a whole new perspective. The best part – the sub dives are included in your fare.
