Before Ultramarine the chance to experience Antarctica from the air was strictly the preserve of private mega yachts; this ship is a game changer. The heli-flightseeing literally takes expeditions onboard to the next level!

What our customers think of Ultramarine

Ultramarine trips scored 4.4/5 from 55 reviews

Well built. New. Well appointed. Spacious cabins. Only negative comment is the lecture room should have been built so those not in the first row could see more than the upper part of the screen. The chairs were very comfortable. Read the full review

Absolutely fantastic. The penthouse suite was spacious and luxurious with one of the best bathrooms on our entire holiday and we were really well looked after by the team servicing our room. Also the helicopter trip made it special. I would definitely travel on this ship again. Read the full review
