The Magellan Discoverer, sister ship to the renowned Magellan Explorer, sets new standards for Antarctic voyages beyond the ordinary.

With room for up to 96 passengers (76 on Antarctic voyages) in 42 cabins spread over three decks, the Magellan Discoverer offers the highest level of comfort.

Thanks to a hybrid electric drive and advanced technologies, the ship guarantees a smooth, low-emission voyage. A special wet lab also enables scientific research in Antarctica.
The Magellan Discoverer combines luxurious comfort, environmental awareness, and exclusivity to create an unparalleled travel experience.
