Adventure Ship

Our Adventure Ships were originally designed and built in Finland for polar and oceanographic research. They are small, nimble ice-strengthened ships capable of reaching the nooks and crannies of Antarctica that many larger ships cannot. Carrying a small group of 48 travellers, the ships enable access to many sights and adventures others do not.
