Why we like this ship

  • Capacity for just 138 guests ensures an intimate onboard and off-ship expedition experience
  • X-bow technology helps cut through choppy waters, improving onboard stability and your sailing comfort
  • Of the 76 cabins over 77% have a private balcony, including 12 dedicated solo occupancy rooms
  • Thoughtfully designed, innovative social and wellness areas including a panoramic yoga studio, science hub, infinity edge Jacuzzis
  • Two unique outdoor sleeping 'igloos' on deck offer a glamping experience like no other
  • Large fleet of kayaks allows all guests to try out the unique sensation of paddling in icy waters
  • Field test a variety of camera equipment with the ship's onboard Gear Locker  a great way for keen photographers to try before you buy!

We think it's worth noting

  • The ship doesn't offer a full kayaking programme for those who would like to paddle more than the single complimentary session
  • To stay overnight in one of the ship's unique outdoor igloos, sign-up happens once onboard. Suite guests receive priority and it's on a first come, first served basis for everyone else
Swoop Says background image

A feature that we have never seen on any other ship are the 'igloos'. These geodesic domes are located out on deck and make a wonderfully quirky sheltered place to enjoy the view by day. They can also be booked on board for overnight stays: glamping polar-style!
