- To relax between activities, warm up in the window-lined saunas take a dip in the outdoor hot tubs and plunge pool, or stroll around the outdoor walking track
- With three restaurants on board, there's always a choice of cuisine to suit your mood
- Sustainability minded initiatives such as banning single-use plastic and silent sailing using battery power help reduce the impact of your expedition

We love the forward-thinking design of this ship, with its strong focus on reducing the carbon impact of its voyages. For a large vessel, it’s incredibly quiet – thanks to those electric power boosts. It’s perfect for whale watching and hearing the blows!
