YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

See those two open hatches on the Viking Octantis? They lead into the 'hangar,' where the submarines, zodiacs, kayaks and high-speed 'special operations boats' on board are stored, to be off loaded and deployed for our expedition cruise explorations, using cranes and mechanized slipways. It's an incredible place on Viking expedition cruise ships, and Lynn Elmhirst, host of World's Greatest Cruises, gets a behind-the-scenes tour from Viking's Director of Expedition Operationns, Jorn Henriksen.
