Designed in close consultation with polar expedition experts, the Greg Mortimer ship is purpose-built for expeditions to the most remote places on earth. Being the first passenger ship to feature the revolutionary Ulstein X-BOW, allows the ship to cross oceans more comfortably and efficiently, and with expansive observation decks to bring you closer to the environment, inviting communal areas and unsurpassed environmental credentials, the ship offers the perfect base camp for adventures at the outer limits of human exploration.
Accommodating an average of 138 passengers per voyage, within 76 cosy, comfortable cabins – all cabins have a view of the ocean and 85% of cabins have their own balcony, has redefined expedition cruising for the future with a company committed to travelling respectfully and providing a trip of a lifetime experience.
These voyages focus heavily on getting off the ship and exploring nature and offer a wide range of optional extras to enhance your adventure. The ship also features a modern lecture lounge, multiple observation areas, zodiac launching platforms, a restaurant serving excellent meals, a gym and wellness centre, jacuzzis, a mudroom and many other amenities.
