The first of this new generation of X-bow ships to arrive in the Arctic, make no mistake this is a groundbreaking ship setting the pace in the smaller ship category.

Why we like this ship

  • The X-Bow design isn’t only eye-catching, it also means a smoother ride and a lower carbon footprint
  • Average capacity of 130 passengers is small for a new ship and a highly experienced expedition team of 15-18 people will deliver a highly personalised experience for all on board
  • A great range of cabin categories, 80% of which have balconies
  • Small number of passengers and multiple zodiac loading bays means a great chance of spontaneity and faster zodiac logistics
  • Optional kayaking is always popular, while this is one of only a few ships to also offer scuba diving, polar snorkelling, SUP and rock climbing on selected voyages

We think it's worth noting...

  • While a great feature, the ship's flip down hydraulic viewing bow platforms are rarely used in Antarctica
