The spacious cabins feature ocean-facing windows or portholes and private en-suite facilities. Large common areas and observation decks provide panoramic views of the distinctive landscapes of some of the world’s most remote regions. Social spaces include the Discovery Lounge, the popular Polar Bear pub and the library, a gym and sauna, medical clinic, an outdoor barbecue area, as well as a large heated mud room. All guests receive a complimentary parka jacket and the use of wellington boots for the duration of the cruise.
Dining
Prepared by professional chefs, the cuisine is international and of the highest quality. Breakfast and lunch are buffets, and a four course meal is served for dinner. There is a large deck with barbecue facilities as well as the popular Polar Bear Pub in which to enjoy a drink.
Kayaking
Weather permitting, you will head out in kayaks on days where zodiac landings are also available. Kayaking as part of a group led by experienced and skilled leaders allows an opportunity to experience these remote regions from another vantage point. This activity must be booked prior to your trip.
