Swoop says
The Sylvia Earle is sister ship to the Greg Mortimer, and follows in the same impressive footsteps; she is as remarkable to look at and sail aboard as the design and technology which went into her build.

Why we like Sylvia Earle
- With an average of 132 passengers, it is one of the smaller polar expedition ships, allowing for speedy disembarkation and maximising your time exploring off-ship
- The sleek X-bow reduces pitching and allows the ship to cut through the waves; it is designed with passengers' comfort in mind
- All cabins are generously proportioned with large windows, so you never miss a spectacular vista and most have balconies
- Optional add-on activities are available, from kayaking and camping to polar snorkelling!
- The unusual double height glass atrium in the bow floods the expedition lounge with polar light
- To help you to warm up after a chilly day out exploring: two jacuzzis and a sauna
