Enrichment options will further enhance your journey on the Viking Octantis. Participate in lectures, lab sessions, and workshops to gain a deeper understanding of each destination. Every moment on the Viking Octantis is an opportunity to discover and learn, whether you’re interested in astronomy, marine biology, or the diverse cultures of the regions. Here are some enrichment activities you can try:
Your cruise fare includes a range of shore excursions, such as RIB sailings, Zodiac landings, quiet kayak paddles, and submarine dives. These excursions showcase unique marine environments and scenery, offering a chance to learn about the region’s culture and history.
Every guest on board has access to Expedition Central, a help desk that provides shore excursion information, “go to gate” times, and details about upcoming excursions or landings. Here, you can book shore excursions, check your booking status, and make any necessary changes. Expedition Central also offers local information and suggestions for activities.
The Viking Laboratory supports onboard research and is equipped with wet and dry lab equipment, a fume cupboard, freezers, cold storage, microscope optics, and instrument benches. This safe, secure, and well-equipped space allows researchers to conduct experiments and collect data, creating an ideal environment for cutting-edge research.
The Hanger serves as an in-ship marina with an 85-foot slipway. This enclosed space allows guests to board their RIBs sheltered from the wind and waves, making it easy to access the water without braving the elements.
