The Expedition is a classic expedition vessel that masterfully blends old-world charm with modern polar cruising capabilities. Originally launched in 1975 and extensively refurbished in 2017, the vessel features cabins with exterior views, a spacious dining room, a presentation lounge, and an observation deck perfect for wildlife spotting.

Cabins

The good range of cabins varies from shared, triple occupancy cabins, which suit solo passengers, to large cabins with picture windows. All the cabins are exterior facing with en suite facilities. The majority have twin beds (which can’t be combined). The decor is clean and simple, and while the cabins are no frills they contain everything you need.
