Swoop Video Review: Greg Mortimer
Why we like this ship
- The first expedition ship to pioneer the groundbreaking X-bow technology, it will pierce waves making for a smoother overall voyage
- We love the fact that in spite of being crammed with technology, this petite ship carries a maximum of 130 passengers, ensuring an intimate atmosphere and smooth landing operations
- 80% of the cabins benefit from having outer balconies and all are spaciously proportioned, ranging from 180 - 385 square feet
- A panoramic observation deck with floor to ceiling windows and spacious outer decks means you’ll never miss out on the action wherever you are on the ship
- For active travellers, optional activities are available: kayaking, camping, snowshoeing, scuba diving & polar snorkelling
We think it's worth noting
- While a great feature, the ship's flip down hydraulic viewing bow platforms are rarely used in Antarctica
