Why we like the Sea Spirit

  • All-suite ship with the smallest cabins measuring a cavernous 215 square feet (20 sq. m) in comparison to most other Antarctic cabins
  • Just 114 passengers aboard helps maximise your time exploring off the ship
  • Voyage price includes a night's stay pre-embarkation in a 5* Ushuaia hotel, an Expedition Jacket to keep and the loan of rubber boots
  • Wide choice of cabin categories including 15 suites with exterior balconies
  • Interior elevator to all cabin decks
  • Good value for the comfort level and cabin space

Important: All departures are multi-lingual, typically conducted in both German and English, while some may also have Russian and Chinese spoken.

What Our Customers Think of Sea Spirit

Customer Image

The Sea Spirit is a beautiful ship and feels very luxurious. The ship and hotel staff were attentive and friendly and as for the food, well it was simply divine! The expedition crew were super friendly, incredibly talented, knowledgeable and inspiring. Our fellow passengers were diverse and we’ve made lots of new friends who we will forever share a special bond with.

The small ship size of the Sea Spirit allowed all to get to know one another. The expedition staff was exceptional: highly trained, intelligent, professional, safety minded and caring. Read the full review

Ron Hart - USA

Really enjoyed the small ship atmosphere. The cabin was older, but clean and taken care of. All the food was tremendous with good variety. Why don't we have Afternoon Tea here in the States?! Read the full review

Graham Collins - Canada

Highlights were aplenty: spending time in Ushuaia the southern most city in the world; living a comfortable life in the ship with good passengers for company; and the best possible expedition team; witnessing orcas and dolphins straight from the cabin window; crossing the Polar Circle, polar plunging; encounters with humpback whales swimming close to the Zodiac; sitting ashore and absorbing the calm and vastness of the peninsula on a bright sunny day.

Kushal - UAE

Sea Spirit - what a plucky little ship! She carried us in comfortable luxury whilst still being small enough to provide an intimate experience. Both the crew and expedition teams worked tirelessly to ensure we had the time of our lives.

I love the Sea Spirit's wrap-around deck. It's brilliant to be able to jump outside instantly, especially if you're relaxing in the Club Bar after a busy day but suddenly spot a spectacular iceberg or whale blow.
