- 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

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.

Cabin categories
The ship has 76 spacious en-suite staterooms. Each cabin benefits from complimentary Wi-Fi, vast amounts of storage space and the unusual addition of a faux holographic “fireplace” which can crackle soothingly for those who like white noise and that cosy hygge feeling. All cabins have a small fridge with included minibar, coffee machine and kettle. There is one pair of binoculars loaned for the duration of your expedition, along with a complimentary 3-in-1 waterproof parka, dry bag rucksack and metal water bottle which are yours to keep.
The widescreen tv offers you the chance to watch live-streamed lectures from the comfort of your own cabin. You can also see the daily program of activities, check out what’s ahead on the bow camera feed and track the ship’s exact location on the live chart.
Some cabins are equipped with a sofa bed, so please do let us know if you are looking for triple occupancy options.
