Ocean Albatros is a purpose-built expedition vessel designed to bring travellers closer to the extraordinary landscapes of Antarctica.

Ocean Albatros is a purpose-built expedition vessel designed to bring travellers closer to the extraordinary landscapes of Antarctica.

While it has space for 192 guests, a cap of 175 is normally enforced to increase comfort on board. Its reinforced ice-class hull and advanced stabilisation systems ensure safe and comfortable passage through the Southern Ocean, opening the door to some of the most remote regions on Earth.

Every detail – from panoramic observation decks to spacious cabins – is designed to keep the dramatic Antarctic scenery front and centre. On board, a dedicated expedition team brings the region’s wildlife, history, and geology to life through expert-led landings and lectures.

Ocean Albatros also champions sustainability, operating with low-emission technology and energy-efficient systems to minimise environmental impact.
