Expedition

The newly refurbished Expedition is a classic polar vessel built for comfort, safety, and immersive exploration. With space for just 128 guests, this small ship allows for a more personal, community-focused experience and ensures everyone can participate in twice-daily landings (weather permitting).

Onboard, travelers will enjoy updated cabins with private bathrooms, cozy social areas, two jacuzzis, a gym, and a 24/7 beverage station. The ship’s high Ice Class 1A rating and upgraded stabilizers make for smooth sailing through icy waters, while its efficient, quieter engines help reduce environmental impact — so you can enjoy the sounds of nature while leaving a smaller footprint.

Perfectly sized for getting up close with the polar environment, the Expedition is your comfortable, adventure-ready for unforgettable journeys to the ends of the Earth.
