Overview

The MV Discoverer is an expedition ship which holds 140 passengers to create a personal experience for travelers who want to explore distant polar areas. The ship functions as a link between rough exploration and luxurious amenities because it has an ice-strengthened hull which meets Ice Class 1A standards to sail through frozen fjords while following all Polar Code safety requirements. Because of its boutique size, it allows all guests to disembark simultaneously without waiting in shifts, maximizing time spent exploring onshore via its fleet of heavy-duty Zodiac motorized boats. The vessel contains interior features which resemble those found in a high-end boutique hotel. All cabins face the outside world which allows visitors to enjoy ocean views from their balconies while they also get to experience marble bathroom designs. Passengers can use the wellness facilities which include a fitness center and sauna and steam room and open-air jacuzzis on the observation deck during their breaks from wildlife viewing. The MV Discoverer offers an educational Antarctic experience through its expert marine biology and glaciology expedition team which provides personalized service and superior comfort.
