MS World Voyager

Polar expedition ship for 168 guests

MS World Voyager

A modern polar expedition ship for 168 guests, built for science and exploration, featuring a Science Hub, a glass-domed lounge, and a wraparound outdoor deck.

The World Voyager is the newest addition to a fleet specializing in polar regions. Inside the glass-domed lounge on Deck 7 (The Dome), panoramic views open up directly onto the ice, and on Deck 8, a wraparound outdoor deck encircles the entire ship, complete with a running track for exercise in the fresh polar air.

18 Zodiacs ensure quick, safe landings away from the ports; the Ready Room on Deck 3 is located right next to the boarding points, making boarding and disembarking a breeze.

Inside the ship, you’ll find a restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows on Deck 4, a lecture theater with seating for all guests, the Science Hub—a central gathering place for interacting with the scientists on board—a spa with a sauna, a fitness center, and a heated outdoor pool with two hot tubs on Deck 7.

The ship is equipped with two hybrid-electric Rolls-Royce engines (total 9,000 kW) and a MAGS system for the treatment of defined onboard waste; it is deployed in the Antarctic from November to March and in the Arctic from May to September.
