Life Aboard

LUXURY OF COMFORT IN RUGGED WILDNESS

OUR THREE POLAR SHIPS, THE FINEST BASECAMPS AN

explorer could want, are equipped for up-close and personal

explorations—and for living well. The lounge, dining room, and

other public spaces on our ships provide space for individuals,

families and friends, and the entire community—contributing

to the esprit de corps that is a hallmark of our expeditions.

A library serves those who want to learn more about the

region or curl up with a best seller. The observation lounge

is a fine spot to gather for a light meal or to watch petrels

soar overhead as we sail. And a fully-stocked bar is a place to

relax or engage with fellow travellers. The wellness centre ,

gym, sauna, and stretching or yoga sessions with our wellness

specialist boost the tonic of wildness nature provides. And

cosseting cab ins and suites, outfitted with our signature linens

and feather duvets, provide the perfect ending to active days.

“I have no complaints about being out on a Zodiac foray in a light mist and low temps— that’s what I signed up for, and I was loving the photo ops. But I have to say, when that Zodiac full of Vikinghelmeted hotel staff rounded the bend with hot chocolate, Aquavit and schnapps, I said ‘hallelujah.’ The service aboard is outstanding; having that service follow you into the field—that’s priceless.”
