Swoop Video Review: MS Expedition
Why we like this ship
- Owner operated
- Typically a mixed clientele of UK, North American & Australian travellers
- 360 degree observation deck for excellent wildlife sightings
- Amazing client feedback
- Very spacious public areas ensures everyone on board has plenty of room
- Complimentary waterproof jacket and boot loan
- Good choice of cabin types, all pretty generous in size and with en suite bathroom
- Large heated mudroom & popular sauna after chilly landings
- Friendly, attentive staff
We think it's worth noting...
- The majority of the cabins are configured with twin beds. Only four of the top Category 5 cabins have a double bed
- Having started life as a working ship before being converted, this ship doesn't have any cabins with balconies
What our customers think of MS Expedition
MS Expedition trips scored 4.6/5 from 89 reviews
"A ship not too big, not too small", and that is exactly that. Big enough to have your own space to read or chill in front of the sea. Small enough to meet and share with the staff and travelers who become new friends.

Swoop says
I really like this ship's style. Its bright red colouring looks fantastic amongst Antarctica's icebergs, it's one of the most spacious ships in the polar fleet and the expedition staff really know their stuff. A proper expedition vessel with all the kit and caboodle that goes with that.
