A very comfortable expedition ship with the highest ice class rating awarded to passenger ships (1-A Super), which means she is able to explore coves, bays, and channels that are not possible on many other ships. There is a heated salt-water pool, fitness centre with sauna, a custom-built citizen science laboratory and a library with guest computers. There are panoramic views and the common areas are spacious and include multiple dining areas- even al fresco on the Lido Deck (for when weather permits).

Capacity

139 (up to 149 if there are rescheduled guests)

Activities

International expedition staff lead shore excursions and give daily lectures on board. Sea kayaking and camping are offered on selected voyages, both of which have an additional cost (basic previous kayaking experience is recommended). There are limited places for these optional activities and so they should be booked well in advance. Guests are invited to participate in the Citizen Science data-gathering activities that support major research projects. There are also photography coaches on board who hold presentations and briefings to help guest's better capture the unique environment of Antarctica.

Accommodation

Cabins are across five decks and vary little in size (from 17.5 to 25.4 square metres). They all have a private bathroom, sitting area and ocean view through either windows or portholes and are equipped with a flat screen TV, mini-bar and safe. The Owner's suites and Veranda staterooms additionally have a small balcony.
