MS Sea Spirit
The comfortable expedition ship for the Antarctic and Arctic
On board the Sea Spirit, your expedition will be a particularly elegant and comfortable experience:
The functionally furnished suites, ranging in size from 20m² to 63m², ensure that the maximum of 114 passengers can relax in comfort during their leisure time.
The spacious cabins, some of which have a private balcony, are located on the outside and can be arranged with separate or adjoining beds. Each cabin has an additional sofa, desk with chair, minibar, safe, telephone, hairdryer, and private bathroom. Water, coffee, and tea are available around the clock. Wi-Fi is available for a fee.
At the same time, adventurous fellow travelers enjoy all the advantages of a small ship that is considered a veteran among polar cruisers: exceptionally flexible maneuverability that allows it to travel to bays and regions that are inaccessible to large ships, an ice-strengthened hull, the latest zero-speed stabilizers from Rolls Royce (since 2019), a fleet of Zodiacs for landings and excursions, and kayaking and camping equipment.
There is even room for a library, a fitness room, and a Jacuzzi.
The lecture room hosts entertaining and fascinating scientific presentations by the knowledgeable expedition team, while the cozy lounge with bar on the club deck is the perfect place to reflect on the day and gaze up at the vast sky late into the evening, which the midnight sun transforms into a colorful spectacle of light almost around the clock. Welcome to the show!
Another highlight of the Sea Spirit is the open bridge: here, the captain and his crew welcome you, answer your questions, explain the navigation technology, and tell stories from their lives at sea. Visiting the bridge is only possible on a few small ships with a manageable number of passengers.
