Why we like the Ocean Endeavour cruise ship

  • One of the larger ships currently operating in The Arctic, her substantial tonnage means greater stability and therefore comfort on sea days
  • There are some outstanding onboard facilities, including two restaurants and full spa facilities, which small ships simply don’t have the space for
  • Generous public areas and outer deck space means everyone has plenty of room, particularly during wildlife sightings
  • The experienced team onboard ensure that the zodiac logistics are slick and that everyone gets the most out of the off ship landings
  • Kayaking is offered on this ship
