Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Viking Octantis

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s
This was my first cruise and it didn't disappoint. I chose a smaller ship because I wanted a more personal experience. Viking Octantis carries only about 368 passengers.
From the coffee shop to the sit down restaurant, the food was really great with an interesting variety of choices, many reflecting the culture of crew members.
The staff and crew operate in a culture of high quality service, ...

This is our third Viking sailing and it exceeded our expectations in every way. Our previous Viking experiences were on River ships in Europe that we enjoyed so very much, so this one was quite different, but just as fantastic as the others. The Octantis is a small ocean going vessel with only a 377 maximum passenger load. In this case apparently there were fewer than the full complement of ...

We chose this cruise and ship for the itinerary - Toronto to Fort Lauderdale. The ship is immaculate from top to bottom. But the best part of all is the crew and by the time you leave the ship you really feel like you belong to a big family. I have to mention the waiters: Alex, Tri, Kevin, Redy, Maria and Mariel. They were all outstanding (as were all the others). The officers from the top down ...

I originally chose this particular cruise because I wanted to travel on the Octantis, and the pre-cruise extension to Killarney Lodge in Algonquin Park looked amazing. I also wanted to see Mackinac Island. Unfortunately, the pre-extension was changed - confusingly, to Killarney Mountain Lodge in Georgian Bay, but I opted to do the cruise anyway. I am very glad I did - the ship was wonderful and ...

Our initial booking with Viking was for the 'Romantic Danube Cruise' from Budapest to Regensburg Germany. We had to cancel due to a medical emergency for one of our travelling members. The (much appreciated) travel insurance refund actually funded 90% of this Stateside cruise!!! We had not visited any of the destination ports and the excursions offered - of which 95% were "included" - were ...

Where to start...what a wonderful experience. The Octantis is a beautiful ship and the crew was fabulous. The food was well prepared and varied. There is a small buffet (Mamsen's) in an area separate from the main buffet that focuses on delightful Norwegian dishes. We indulged in special soups at Mamsen's several afternoons after returning from shore. We booked a Junior Nordic Suite, which ...

We did an 8-day cruise in the Great Lakes Jul-Aug 2023 on Viking Octantis. This is an "Expedition" cruise and includes some science and nature aspects beyond the regular pleasure cruise. The itinerary was Milwaukee-Mackinac Island-Alpena-Detroit-Point Pelee-Welland Canal-Niagara Falls-Toronto. Several stops were really good and I wish they were longer: Milwaukee, Detroit, Niagara Falls, ...

We chose to cruise the Great Lakes with Viking because we were looking for an interesting way to get to Wisconsin....but it ended up being such an incredible experience. The staff treated us like family, the food was amazing and the whole trip was a perfect balance of relaxation and fun. The expedition component was really fascinating, adding a whole extra dimension to the cruise. The ship was ...

This cruise was planned so that eight life long friends could gather and celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary’s together. The cruise was a perfect way for each of us to enjoy our own interests and also have lots of time together. The crew did everything possible to make our week interesting, comfortable and memorable.
Highlights include:
The lovely restaurants and the Chef, Managers and ...
