What our customers think
-
"A ship not too big, not too small", and that is exactly that. Big enough to have your own space to read or chill in front of the sea. Small enough to meet and share with the staff and travelers who become new friends.

I really like this ship's style. Its bright red colouring looks fantastic amongst Antarctica's icebergs, it's one of the most spacious ships in the polar fleet and the expedition staff really know their stuff. A proper expedition vessel with all the kit and caboodle that goes with that.
