Why we like this ship

  • With an excellent PC5 ice-class rating on its ice-strengthened hull and extra long stabilisers, the ship is ready to tackle the challenging and ever-changing polar waters
  • Spacious staterooms with large panoramic windows or private balconies are perfect for relaxing privately after a busy day exploring - there’s even a holographic crackling fireplace to add that hygge feeling
  • Attentive but unobtrusive service from the 120 strong onboard team ensures a relaxed atmosphere throughout
  • Your hassle free voyage package includes a pre-cruise night in a 5 star hotel in Buenos Aires and charter flights to/from Ushuaia where your ship will be waiting

We think it's worth noting

  • For light sleepers, cabin 602 is directly underneath the piano in the lounge and there can be some noise transference
  • The expedition laboratory isn't currently in use for guests

The cabin was great! We were on Deck 5. Nice big comfy cabin - loved the fake fireplace. The ship is brand new, so all the spaces are super nice - great looking ship! We'd sail again on the Vega. All the staff are super helpful and nice. Read the full review

I loved standing out on the unique Swan’s Nest on the bow. It was surprisingly sheltered from the wind and the perfect quiet spot to listen to humpback whales blowing all round.
