NAVIS Magazine takes an in depth look at Octopus in “Off the Charts Adventure of the Lürssen Octopus”, exploring how her exceptional capabilities open the door to some of the world’s most remote and remarkable destinations.

The article follows life aboard Octopus from an Antarctic summer voyage to the dramatic landscapes of Greenland, Iceland and Norway, while also looking towards warmer adventures across the tropics. Along the way, it explores how her 12,500 nautical mile range, ice class credentials, helicopters, tenders and expedition equipment allow guests to experience places far beyond conventional cruising grounds.

Captain Thejs Pedersen also offers a glimpse into a typical day aboard, where itineraries are shaped by weather, wildlife and the opportunities unfolding beyond the horizon. From Zodiac excursions among the ice and wildlife encounters to hiking, diving and heli skiing, the story captures the versatility at the heart of an Octopus expedition.

Beyond charter, NAVIS revisits Octopus’ long history of exploration and research, including her involvement in significant underwater discoveries. Together, these stories reveal a yacht conceived not simply to travel the world, but to explore it.
