Guest accommodation ranges from dedicated solo cabins, through to spacious suites with balcony or terrace. Amenities include a large auditorium, a glass-enclosed Panorama Lounge and Bar, restaurant and bistro. Leisure options on offer include a fitness centre, sauna and steam room. The ship has 4 embarkation points, enabling rapid boarding of Zodiac craft, and even a water-level Zodiac hangar for spontaneous off-ship exploration. The ship carries two twin-engine helicopters: a thrilling flight will be offered during the expedition if conditions allow.
