The 122-passenger Adventurer, among the very few vessels in the world specifically constructed for expedition voyages to the far reaches of this remote land. Her icestrengthened hull permits her to glide easily and safely through ice-strewn waters that are not accessible to conventional cruise vessels. She has advanced communications and navigation equipment, and newly installed, state-of-the-art Sperry Gyrofin stabilizers. The majority of shore landings are undertaken using Zodiacs. Zodiac embarkations involve descending gangway stairs with double handrails and stepping into the Zodiac from a small platform at water level (assistance is provided). The travelling style is casual, with open dining room seating and no formal dress requirements. Woolly sweaters, rubber boots and a sense of adventure are the only necessities! The open-bridge policy offers a superb view for birding or wildlife sighting and a chance to interact with the crew.
