Why we like the Ocean Adventurer cruise ship

  • Extensive recent refurbishment has considerably benefited this already popular ship
  • One of the more stable Arctic vessels with her rounded stern and active stabilizing system
  • The promenade deck areas are a great place to hang out and watch icebergs float past
  • An enthusiastic and dedicated team of expeditionary staff who really go the extra step
  • The lounge and dining room's panoramic windows mean you never miss out on the passing scenery
  • A cruising speed of 12.5 knots puts her in the faster category of ships

The Ocean Adventurer was top-notch. Carries just the right amount of passengers. The ship staff service was exceptional. The ship was very clean and the food quality and variety was excellent.

Communal Areas

Explore the most remote corners of the world in comfort with free time spent between the lounge and bar areas, the Polar Boutique, and the Polar Library.

Get your heart rate going before the day of adventure ashore with use of the exercise room, and learn from the polar specialists with lectures in the presentation room.
