Think of it as our polar ship glow-up. Launching for the 2025/2026 season, we have an updated Expedition ship that blends comfort and capability in all the right ways.
Extensively refurbished, it features upgraded engines, refreshed cabins with ensuite bathrooms, and larger social spaces for a perfect mix of slick performance, creature comforts, and that community feel.
And when it’s time to brave the Drake? Its Ice Class 1A technology, upgraded stabilizers, and a modern propulsion system deliver smoother, quieter sailing, and all with a significantly smaller carbon footprint.
With just 128 passengers, we aim to get each guest out on excursions twice a day (weather-permitting) — something larger vessels simply can’t offer. That means more time off ship doing what really matters: being fully immersed in Antarctica’s magic.
