Cabins & Deck Plan

Why we like the Sylvia Earle

Specifically designed with passengers' comfort in mind and for slicing through ice, you can’t help notice her elegant X-bow
A small vessel with only 130 people meaning everyone can disembark together
You'll never miss the action outside - most cabins have balconies and all are generously proportioned with large windows
Optional add-on activities are available, from kayaking and camping to polar snorkelling
Spacious outer decks and a well designed observation deck provide ample viewpoints for observing wildlife and the passing scenery

John 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.
