The eye-catching G Expedition (formerly MS Expedition) is Danish-built and newly refurbished, offering spacious and comfortable accommodation for up to 134 passengers.
With a focus on top of the line safety, comfort and the unique demands of polar travel, the G Expedition is one of the world's leading polar expedition cruise ships.
The G Expedition provides an intimate small-ship cruising experience. Completely refurbished in 2009, she boasts spacious cabins, each featuring 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. The Expedition's spacious confines can hold as many as 140 passengers, but our commitment to keeping group sizes small means you'll never have to share it with more than 134 others. Many expedition cruise operators offer you a choice of space, comfort or expertise; the G Expedition delivers all three at a price few can top.
