Episode: 4
Presenter: Trevor Cochrane

Trevor explores unforgettable whale watching aboard the Viking Octantis.

• Special Ops Boat, designed specifically for exploration, feature a dual water jet system, allowing for smooth navigation, and individually suspended seats that provide exceptional comfort during our journey.
• The SOB can be easily converted to an enclosed cabin, offering guests the option to stay dry and warm while still enjoying the breathtaking surroundings. This versatility enables guests to get closer to natural wonders, whether navigating around icebergs or approaching wildlife.
• The design of the Special Ops Boat allows us to reduce speed, ensuring that everyone on board has a clear view of the whales from both sides. This thoughtful approach makes it the perfect vessel for whale watching, allowing for unforgettable moments and photographs.
• Onboard the Viking Octantis, there are also numerous observation decks strategically placed to provide exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities.
• The on-board crew is frequently stationed on the various observation decks, engaging with guests and sharing their knowledge about the region. This commitment to exploration means that even while aboard, your adventure continues, exemplifying why Viking is known as the "thinking person’s cruise line."
