VIKING EXPEDITIONS SETS SAIL

at sea, and the ship’s spa.

The 378-passenger Octantis embodies quiet comfort and eco-cred.

Viking ventures into the expedition waters with two new polar-class sister ships this year, Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris. Assistant editor Auburn Scallon joined a pre-christening voyage of the former en route to its summer season in the Great Lakes to report on its comforts and industry innovations.

SWEET DREAMS

King beds, heated bathroom floors, and drying closets for expedition gear come standard on the adults-only ship. Splurge on the Owner’s Suite for a private terrace garden, hot tub, and insuite dining room.

COOL FACTOR

An industry-first, indoor hangar shields passengers and makes for easy, waveless boarding of special operations boats for excursions (the ship also sails with two sixperson yellow submarines – appropriately named John and Paul). If the weather turns while you’re wildlife-watching on the bow, duck into the adjoining indoor-outdoor Shelter for hot chocolate or mulled wine.

AT EASE

“Silence is a luxury,” says Viking chairman Torstein Hagen, who has made a policy of minimizing intercom announcements across the fleet (staff will helpfully pipe up for don’t-miss wildlife sightings). For Nordic-style wellness, hit Deck 2’s heated indoor pool, hot tub, saunas, cold shower, and Snow Grotto. Three additional pools connect the Aquavit Terrace to outdoor lounging on Deck 5.

NATURE FIRST

Bird-safe lighting and quietengine technology prioritize creatures’ safety. Push a button to lower Nordic balcony windows in every binocular-equipped stateroom. Onboard scientists engage passengers in their research projects, such as spotting microplastics in collected ocean water, through lectures and an interactive lab.

SEAFOOD AT SUNSET

Sushi, crab legs, and surf and turf stand out among the World Café’s plentiful options. Specialty dining venues Manfredi’s (Italian) and The Restaurant (Continental classics) have an “elegant casual” dress code that brings a bit of style to the expedition scene. At night, snuggle into heated seats around lava rock firepits for stargazing at Finse Terrace.

NIGHTCAP NOOK

After dinner, head to the bow on Deck 1 to sip whiskey, Baileys, and brandy in leather armchairs at The Hide speakeasy. Work by Norwegian artist Hanne Lydia Opøien Figenschou lines the walls opposite glass-encased gear from Octantis godmother Liv Arnesen – the first woman to ski solo and unsupported to the South Pole.
