Discover the Viking Octantis
The Viking Octantis is a modern marvel designed for epic adventures in polar regions and beyond. With its Polar Class 6 ice-strengthened hull, this ship is built to navigate icy waters safely and in style.
Hosting just 378 guests and served by 260 crew members, every detail on board exudes intimacy and attention to luxury. Its Scandinavian design captivates with sleek, open spaces, natural light, and cozy, warm tones. Passengers can enjoy panoramic lounges, fine dining, and elegant staterooms equipped with thoughtful features like drying closets and luxury linens.
Excitement meets exploration through The Hangar, where Zodiacs, kayaks, and submarines are ready for adventures. After a day discovering the Arctic or Great Lakes, unwind at the Nordic Spa or savor flavors of Norway at Mamsen's.
The Viking Octantis redefines expedition cruising, merging discovery with sophisticated comforts.
