Expedition

Extensively refurbished with new engines, upgraded common areas, and refreshed cabins with ensuite bathrooms, this adventure-ready vessel was designed to keep things cozy, capable, and close to the action. 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 space for just 128 passengers, we aim to get everyone off the ship and exploring daily (conditions permitting) — something bigger vessels simply can’t do. That means more time on land, more wildlife sightings, and way more moments you’ll never forget.
