Our Ships

Our Fleet: Explorer-Friendly and Polar-Sensitive

The Polar Latitudes Expedition fleet now includes the Seaventure, Ocean Albatros, Ocean Victory, and Ocean Nova. While the ships differ in many ways (giving you more options, from rooms to amenities), they all share a number of features – first and foremost, prioritizing your Polar engagement above all else. All four ships offer a decidedly small ship experience, with never more than 180 passengers on board. This means quick, safe Zodiac boarding, personalized attention from our expedition and photography teams, and feeling like you’re part of a team, not just another face in the passenger crowd. Our ships are purpose-built for the polar regions, with exceptionally high ice ratings that enable safe access to places that would simply say “no” to lesser ships. They are designed to keep the spectacular outside environment in clear view at all times, with multiple outdoor decks and 180 views in our presentation rooms. And collectively, our fleet is one of the most fuel-efficient in the industry, just one of the many ways we “walk the talk” of caring for these fragile environments.
