DESCRIPTION
This is the perfect vessel for expedition cruising in Antarctic waters! Newly renovated in 2017 and with an international ice class rating of 1B, she is one of the strongest ships operating in Antarctica. Her high maneuverability, shallow draft and strong engines allow for extended voyages into isolated fjords, creating exciting adventures for any Antarctica or Polar traveler. The recently renovated interior has elegant common areas and accommodation for 240 passengers. The ship was built in 1985 as a RoPax Night Ferry and underwent an extensive rebuild in 2010. With a length of 140 m/458 ft she has ample space on the multiple decks for several lecture halls, a relaxed restaurant serving 4-star international cuisine, professionally staffed bars and observation platforms – and even a pool. The ship still retains its vehicle deck and stern ramp which could be used for multi-purpose activities.
