State of the art expedition ship carrying twin-engine helicopters.

This state of the art, first class expedition ship carries 199 guests and offers an unrivalled sense of space across its 7 decks. US-operated, with a 1A+ ice class rating and wide range of cabins, Ultramarine sets an impressive standard of safety and comfort in polar cruising. 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.
