Ships Designed For Discovery Designed for discovery, our two sister ships are both new to the fleet. Our purposebuilt expedition vessels the Greg Mortimer and the Sylvia Earle, are ultra-modern and utilize the latest advancements in naval design and technology that truly revolutionize the small-ship expedition experience. Our vessels are capable of exploring the farthest reaches of the planet. The Ulstein X-BOW® hull makes sailing smoother and faster, is designed to leave the marine environment undisturbed, and allows for incomparable up-close encounters. A fleet of Zodiacs (durable inflatable boats) makes it easy to reach shore where ships are unable to dock. Onshore exploration is made easier and more convenient with four sea-level Zodiac-loading platforms, our innovative floating dock, a mudroom, and an activity preparation area. We are fully equipped for adventure and with an average of just 130–140 guests, our small ships give us the flexibility to take you wherever the adventure awaits. Every cabin features an ocean view and nearly all include balconies. Our accommodation ranges in size and spaciousness to suit a variety of priorities. Entertainment focuses on programming that enriches and builds upon the places being visited. Each ship has everything you need to maximize relaxation and comfort while making enriching discoveries. We create the perfect scene for bringing out the explorer in you.
