Creator's Key Takeaways

This video will show the activities I did on water, on land, and even under the water.

I suggest you save up so you can do it.

This was a pretty great way to end our last evening aboard.

YouTube Video Description↓

I previously made a video about the wonderful Viking Octantis ship. https://youtu.be/3jYHMwJWBs8?si=Jqef5G8gAGKBIIHx This video focuses on what happens outside the ship itself - the excursions. They ranged from leisurely strolls to amazing submersible dives to a Lake Superior shipwreck. Watch and I'll show you why this type of cruise is one you should research!
