MS Greg Mortimer

The exciting expedition ship for Antarctica

The Greg Mortimer can accommodate an average of 132 passengers per voyage and has redefined expedition cruising for the future. The ice-strengthened Class 1A hull was built to the latest Polar Code specifications and was specially designed for navigating sea ice. The ship is equipped with the latest "return to port" technology, sonar equipment, and satellite communications, and features the innovative X-Bow® design for greater stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.

The MS Greg Mortimer is equipped with a marine engine that features low energy consumption, high fuel efficiency, and an optimized design. The vessel can also use virtual anchoring to maintain its position using a combination of GPS, steering technology, propellers, and engines.

Whether you're searching for wildlife in Zodiacs or quickly getting from the ship to a landing site on the coast, these sturdy boats play an important role in your expedition experience. There are a range of additional adventure activities, from kayaking and diving to climbing and ski touring. The Greg Mortimer has been designed to support these activities and make the transition from ship to sea or shore as smooth as possible.

In addition to the observation areas on board , the Greg Mortimer features unique hydraulic viewing platforms that can be extended to provide unobstructed views of passing marine life and seabirds. The hydraulic platforms were designed in collaboration with Greg Mortimer himself and can be used during gentle voyages or when the ship is stationary, weather conditions permitting.

Another important part of an expedition is the food! Whatever adventures the day holds, you will be treated to hearty meals and delicious morning/afternoon teas prepared by our onboard chefs. Tea, coffee, and snacks are available around the clock. The chefs offer a variety of menu options and courses at every meal. After a long day in the great outdoors, enjoy a selection of house wines, beers, and non-alcoholic beverages with dinner.
