Ocean Adventurer
Ship overview:
With her spacious proportions and elegant lines, Ocean Adventurer harks back to an earlier golden age of sea travel with acres of varnished wood and polished brass. Formerly known as Sea Adventurer, following an extensive refurbishment programme in Spring 2017 she was re-named 'Ocean Adventurer'.

- Good choice of Twin cabins, all with en-suite bathrooms and TV screens

What Our Customers Think of Ocean Adventurer
Ocean Adventurer trips scored 4.5/5 from 133 reviews
As we were crossing Gerlache Strait a large pod of orcas was spotted. The captain immediately changed course and 15 minutes later we were all hanging over the side of Ocean Adventurer surrounded by them - Amazing! Just one small example of how brilliant the staff on this ship are.

Alex says
When I was on board Ocean Adventurer in Antarctica what I appreciated most were her vast outer decks - brilliant for spotting wildlife from - and choice of places where you can hang out while onboard. Both mean everyone on board had plenty of room, which makes a real difference at sea.
