Why We Like Polarfront
-
OUTDOOR HOT TUB & SAUNA
The Polarfront’s secret sauce is that she is the only 12 passenger vessel with a large hot tub + sauna on the aft deck. The sauna has a large window allowing you to gaze out over the polar land and seascapes while staying toasty warm.
-
SPACIOUS OUTER DECKS
Her spacious decks are ideal for observing wildlife on the ice while minimizing any disturbance. It’s a wonderful place to take in the views with a warm cup of cocoa in between landings.
-
HEATED TOWEL RACKS
A real luxury in a polar environment, heated towel racks mean warm towels when you come in from the cold + drying your gear faster in between excursions.
-
GYM
Very few ships of this size have a gym on board, but no extra has been overlooked on this French lady! The gym is simple but functional, allowing you to keep fit even when at sea just a few hundred nautical miles from the North Pole.
