Expedition
The Expedition is a small ship offering an ideal balance of comfort and capability. In 2017, the ship was extensively refurbished with upgraded engines, revamped cabins with ensuite bathrooms and expanded public spaces offering a seamless blend of performance, comfort and camaraderie.
It’s 1A Ice Class and roomy outdoor deck space are perfect for exploration in the icy, scenic waters of Antarctica. The Expedition also features upgraded stabilizers and a modern propulsion system to deliver a smoother, quieter journey with a lower environmental impact.
With just 128 passengers, the staff will aim to get each guest out on excursions twice a day when in destination (conditions permitting). That means more time off ship doing what really matters: being fully immersed in Antarctica’s magic.
