About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description↓

Viking operates two expedition ships, the Polaris and the Octantis. Launched in 2021, the Octantis cruises in both the Arctic and Antarctic regions, but we boarded in the summer of 2025 in Lake Superior for a Great Lakes cruise. This afforded me a chance to become familiar with this ship - and it's truly wonderful, with a great crew, great food, and lovely public spaces and cabins. This video will let you see what you too can enjoy if you board this ship.
