Ocean Albatros

The ethos on board is shaped around getting you off the ship efficiently and often. A spacious, heated mudroom leads directly to the Zodiac platforms, keeping landings quick, yet safe and unhurried. The forward observation deck features hydraulic platforms that can be lowered close to the waterline – ideal when an iceberg calves nearby or a pod of whales surfaces alongside. In the communal areas, you’ll find two outdoor hot tubs, a Polar Spa, a panorama sauna and a lecture lounge where the expedition team briefs you each evening on the next day’s plans. Two restaurants serve all meals, with the Nordic Bar acting as the natural gathering point once the sun dips.

All 95 cabins face outward and most feature a private balcony. Standard Balcony Staterooms are the most popular choice, while lower deck Porthole Cabins suit travellers who prefer being closer to the Zodiac boarding area. Suites offer additional space, and the ship includes 12 dedicated single cabins with no supplement, as well as connecting cabins for families.

Polar Latitudes Expeditions specialise in genuine, discovery driven travel – the kind of voyages led by guides who have spent their careers in remote environments and whose ships are built for adventure. Their ethos is simple: small groups, maximum time ashore, and an expedition team with an instinctive feel for the places they explore.

Evening briefings set the tone for the day ahead, while each day itself unfolds according to the weather and the movement of wildlife. It’s travel with a light footprint and an attentive, curious eye – ideal for travellers who want to return home with the sense that they haven’t just skimmed the surface, but have truly experienced the destinations they have visited.
