Why we like the Magellan Discoverer

  • The first sub-100 passenger ship engineered for Antarctic expeditionary cruising since its sister vessel, the Magellan Explorer, launched in 2019
  • Limited to just 76 passengers per fly-cruise voyage for the most intimate expeditions around the White Continent
  • Designed by the pioneers of Antarctic fly-cruising, with an easy-access bow bringing you closer to the awe-inspiring scenery while sailing
  • Each spacious, thoughtfully designed suite features a balcony for all-encompassing polar views
  • A cutting-edge, hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system means quieter, more fuel efficient journeys
  • This highly manoeuvrable vessel features state-of-the-art stabilisers and a PC6 ice-class rating for smoother sailing in challenging icy waters 
  • Includes a wet science lab to boost scientific research in the polar regions
  • Designed with environmental sustainability in mind, the ship features heat recovery systems and adheres to strict Tier III emission standards
