Shore Excursions
Viking Octantis has revolutionized the expedition experience with multiple innovations. The Hangar is an all-new way to embark on your journey. A marina is stored inside the cruise ship, allowing you to board away from the waves and winds of the sea. You can then traverse the waters in a compatible rigid inflatable boat (RIB) with a convertible cover. Hikes, zodiac, and kayak excursions are also available, all of which are guided by skilled Viking experts. Onboard, you can discover endless enrichment programs led by both Viking's resident scientists and outside experts via partnerships with the University of Cambridge’s Scott Polar Research Institute and Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
