Why we like this ship
- 70% of the staterooms have private balconies. All cabins are exterior, enabling you to enjoy the spectacular Antarctic views
- Two jacuzzis and an onboard sauna allow you to warm up in style after a chilly day out exploring on foot and by zodiac
- Safe navigation of challenging polar waters - top ice class 1A/PC6 rating
- Advanced "clean ship" engines with significantly lower emissions than traditional expedition vessels
- X-Bow® Infinity technology and zero speed stabilisers on a purpose-built expedition ship improves your comfort in rough waters
- Optional activities include kayaking, snowshoeing and camping for active travellers
We think it's worth noting...
- The small outdoor pool isn't actually used during Antarctic sailings
Nicky says
I loved the unique experience of soaking up the jaw-dropping Antarctic views from the comfort of the on deck jacuzzis.

Onboard Communication & Facilities
Where accessible, internet access is available for an extra charge; keep in mind, we will be cruising in a very remote region of the world.
The official language onboard is English. If you form part of a large group and require communication in your own language, please let us know and we may be able to make special arrangements to accommodate your needs; the expedition team and crew are often a wonderful mix of nationalities.
