ONBOARD VIKING OCANTIS Atlantic Canada welcomed its first cruise ship since pre-pandemic times last Friday in the Charlottetown harbour. But the Viking Octantis is no ordinary cruise ship.
Visit Duluth has shown us the new Viking Ocantis ship that will sail into port in 2022.
The Expedition ship will be taking trips from the Duluth Harbor and other ports like Thunder Bay, Lake Michigan, the Apostle Island, Houghton MI, Mackinac Island, and Milwaukee, with other destinations planned.
The one that a lot of people will be excited about is the vessel that will be taking passengers to Antarctica. The ship just hit the water and Viking wanted to give people a sneak peek. The ship holds 378 people. The company will build a sister ship that will look just like the Ocantis and be called the Viking Polaris. That ship will also debut in 2022.
