About the Ship

Expedition was built in 1976 and has undergone a number of refurbishments, most recently in 2017. She has all the features of a classy expedition vessel – lounge, bar, presentation room, library, gift shop, exercise room, and clinic – with the advantage of a refreshed, contemporary new look and feel throughout the ship.

Her latest refurbishment saw the installation of two new Rolls Royce engines, which increase fuel efficiency and minimize carbon footprint.

Why We Like Expedition

  • EXPERIENCE

    The Expedition guide team bring years of experience working in the polar regions and are recognized for their safe yet adventurous approach.

  • ICE CAPABILITY

    A high ice class (1A) means she can navigate safely in early season sea ice conditions.

  • ELEGANT

    Expedition is spacious and elegant, without the frills or complications of more luxurious vessels. Inside she has an old world feel with varnished wood and polished brass, while outside she boasts spacious decks for enjoying the scenery and wildlife.

  • CITIZEN SCIENCE

    Guests can support polar research by participating in a number of data collection projects.
