The On-Ship Experience

Onboard comfort

Excellent cuisine, comfortable cabins, superior customer service. While our vessels are ice-strengthened to bravely navigate the polar seas, our onboard environments offer all the premium comforts of a fine hotel. Whether it’s the library on Ocean Adventurer or the Observation Lounge on World Explorer, our ships are designed to be your home away from home while you explore the polar regions. Delicious food While the Antarctic weather is variable, there’s one constant on our polar expeditions: delicious food every day! Chefmade dinners, buffet lunches, group breakfasts—shared with expedition team members and fellow passengers—highlight every voyage. Our culinary team strives to satisfy every dietary preference and taste.

Daily presentations

Daily presentations from world-renowned experts on wildlife, polar history or glaciology complement your expedition experience, deepening your knowledge of the Antarctic regions. Regular briefings keep guests up-to-date on scheduled activities and weather changes, ensuring you’re connected to

what’s happening throughout your entire journey.

Wellness

After a day exploring the polar regions, guests rejuvenate back onboard at our well-appointed health and wellness facilities. Amenities, which vary, include outdoor tracks, a fitness center, saunas and spas, including the L'Occitane Sea Spa on the World Explorer. Our soon-to-be-launched Ultramarine will even offer a sauna with floor-to-ceiling windows.
