M/V Magellan Explorer features 50 passenger suites and cabins in five categories of accommodation, including dedicated single cabins. Public areas include a large, forward-facing observation lounge, an observation deck, a dining room that accommodates all guests and expedition staff in a single sitting, two meeting rooms, a gift shop, a protected outdoor barbecue area, a gym, and a sauna. The bow of the ship is accessible to guests to offer expansive views during exploration. Several international polar expedition experts have contributed to the design of the ship. Working with designers, engineers, and naval architects, they developed a wide range of technical solutions designed to enhance the expedition experience of guests. The vessel was built in Chile to the latest Polar Code specifications to start service in 2019.

The ship provides a stylish base for our guests’ adventures, combining excellence in expedition and boutique hospitality. The elegant interior spaces of the new vessel were designed by Enrique Concha & Co, a renowned interior design studio based in Santiago de Chile. Every detail, from colours, to materials, to lighting, has been carefully selected to enhance the traveller’s experience. The result is a modern environment that provides comfort, style and efficiency.

Optional adventure activities such as kayaking and snowshoeing are available.
