MV Ortelius
The Ortelius is one of the old breed of expedition vessels and somewhat eclectic in style.- Functional and sturdy, she is perfectly suited to polar cruising. The cabins are surprisingly large and a recent overhaul has improved the Russian decor immeasurably. With an emphasis on spending as much time as possible ashore on exploratory wildlife excursions, the powerful engines and on-board helicopters are ideal for allowing access to the more remote areas, particularly in Antarctica.
Key features:
- Helicopter excursions
- Kayaking and camping options
Ship details:
Passengers: 106
Staff and crew: 55
Dimensions: 91m x18m
Speed: 12 knots
Ice Class: 1A
