Join the Viking Explorers Blog as we revisit our time aboard the Viking Expeditions, NEW Viking Octantis. She is the first of two luxury expedition ship’s from Viking. We cruise aboard her during her inaugural cruise on Viking’s Caribbean Connections itinerary. This amazing nine-night sailing began in Barbados and ended in New York City and was a true adventure.
The Viking Octantis is gorgeous expedition ship. The amount of beautiful artwork and the Scandinavian interior design only impressed me more and more as I explored this beauty.
Here are some of her measurements, to name a few. She has a total guest capacity of 378 and 261 total crew members. The ship is 30,150 gross tons, 77 feet wide and 665 feet long.
