Sylvia Earle
Ship overview:
Launched in Autumn 2022, this state-of-the-art ship honours the highly accomplished marine biologist and oceanographer, Sylvia Earle. Sister ship to the Greg Mortimer, this ship similarly boasts stylish lines and cutting edge nautical technology. Unusual features include the double height atrium with its dedicated science laboratory.

Why we like this ship
- The sleek X-bow is designed with passengers' comfort in mind, reducing pitching and allowing the ship to cut through the waves
- One of the smaller polar expedition ships, with a maximum of 130 passengers, this allows for speedy disembarkation and to maximise your time exploring off-ship
- Most cabins have balconies and all are generously proportioned with large windows, so you never miss a spectacular vista
- An impressive range of optional add-on activities are available, from kayaking and camping to polar snorkelling!
- An unusual double height glass atrium in the bow floods the expedition lounge with polar light
- Two jacuzzis and a sauna help you to warm up after a chilly day out exploring
We think it's worth noting...
- The impressive double height atrium bow windows are great for letting light in. However, the view to outside is obscured while seated
Swoop says
I travelled below the Antarctic Circle on Sylvia Earle in January 2023 and loved the relaxed yet highly comfortable feel of the ship along with the “ask any question” attitude of the expedition staff, who were extremely passionate and knowledgeable.
