Exploring Antarctica's Spring
With a strong focus on exploring the Peninsula in all its incomparable glory, this voyage offers an immersive Antarctica adventure at a time of year when the continent is a pristine, just-waking-up hub of activity. As winter gives way to spring, prepare yourself for a trip into a pristine and lively environment populated by penguins courting mates and building nests, where the passing of newly adrift icebergs dazzles the eye, and where fiery sunsets are the stuff of photographers’ dreams. All at a time of year when your chances of spotting another ship on the water are at their lowest, and the continent feels all your own.

Ship
Ocean Albatros
Polar Latitudes
Beneath the sleek exterior of the Ocean Albatros lies decades of learning and adaptation to the challenging Polar environment. Its patented and ice-conquering X-BOW offers the highest level of stability and comfort, while granting our passenger-explorers unprecedented access to hard-to-reach (and jaw-dropping to discover) corners of this wonderful and often-elusive environment. Its many on board amenities – including two hot tubs with spectacular 360° views – are designed to maximize your every Polar moment, and its spacious heated mudroom with four exterior doors makes zodiac boarding quick, safe, and effortless.
The futuristic X-Bow design of the Ocean Albatros is more than just eye-catching. It’s also designed for total comfort and safety in even the roughest seas. And its superior Ice Class 1A and Polar Class 6 mean it can push through deeper ice and deliver access to ever more remote and elusive areas. Onboard, spacious cabins, panoramic views and seamless access to zodiacs (and the adventures to follow) all join forces to ensure a one-of-a-kind experience that will exceed your highest expectations.
The Ocean Albatros is designed to keep the Polar regions front and center, from wake-up to lights out. Every stateroom provides a generous view, and most include private balconies. A variety of observation decks are accessible from multiple indoor spaces. Two hydraulic platforms can be lowered to offer unprecedented near-water-level views – and rare photograph opportunities. Even the two outdoor Jacuzzis provide 360 views of the mesmerizing landscape that surrounds you.
The Ocean Albatros is powered by two diesel and two electro engines, controlled electronically to optimize speed and fuel efficiency. Compared to traditional expedition ships, this technology allows the ship to reduce its carbon footprint by 50%. And by implementing the Green Initiative Program , we ensure the highest standards for both maximum comfort and sustainability practices for our ship, and for all our guests.
Superior Balcony Stateroom and Junior Suite are available for triple occupancy, and the third person enjoys a 50% discount.
