Why We Like This Ship
- The first small-ship (under 100 passengers) built specifically for Antarctic expedition travel since 2003
- Designed and operated by the original pioneers of the Antarctic Fly & Cruise concept
- Limited to a maximum of only 70 passengers per departure, Antarctic exploration doesn't get much more personal.
- Hugely spacious, well appointed suites, many with floor to ceiling windows and outside balconies
- Adventure activities, such as kayaking and snowshoeing, will be available to guests
- Built to the latest Polar Code specifications she carries a Polar Class 6 ice-class (Lloyd’s Register PC6)
- For passenger comfort the ship features state-of-the-art stabilizers
- To minimize fuel consumption, a waste heat recovery system recycles the heat produced by the ship’s engines and repurposes it to power the ship’s heating system and to warm the water used on board

Alex says
Few new ships have been so eagerly anticipated as the Magellan Explorer, and she definitely delivers on the promise. From her head turning livery, to the care and attention during the design phase with every detail, this ship has redefined the Antarctic small ship experience.
