Explore the very best of Antarctica’s diverse wildlife and ethereal landscapes, with an extra day to take advantage of this wonderfully unpredictable environment and the surprises that await. Depending on where and when an opportunity may present itself, we might venture further into the historic and wildlife-rich South Shetland Islands, where you’ll be greeted by Gentoo and Chinstrap penguins, and surrounded by a geology unlike any other on earth. Or perhaps we’ll take advantage of our ship’s extraordinary ice-breaking capability to explore deeper into the mysterious Antarctic Peninsula. With an extra day on the agenda, the possibilities are endless.

  • Extra exploration window that widens the range of possible landings, allowing deeper access to the South Shetland Islands or further penetration into the Antarctic Peninsula’s ice-bound channels.
  • Multi-day wildlife immersion across penguin colonies, seal-lined shores, and whale-rich waterways, supported by Zodiac operations, Citizen Science, and optional overnight camping on the continent.
  • Rare volcanic landscapes at Deception Island paired with classic Antarctic scenery of glaciers, bays, and towering icebergs for a condensed but intensive polar experience.

Ocean Albatros

Vessel Type: Luxury Expedition
Passenger Capacity: 169 (95 cabins)
Length: 104.4 m
Built: 2022
Ocean Albatros is built for serious Polar travel, pairing long-honed expedition capability with a modern, stabilised design. Its X-BOW structure delivers a markedly smoother ride and enables confident movement through deeper ice, giving passengers access to remote regions that traditional vessels cannot approach. Spacious staterooms with wide views, extensive observation areas, near-water hydraulic platforms and a fast, heated mudroom support uninterrupted exploration. The atmosphere on board remains streamlined and functional, with amenities such as Jacuzzis, sauna, spa, gym, library and a generous lounge layout arranged to maximise comfort without distracting from the environment outside.
Efficiency and sustainability are embedded into the ship’s operations. Dual diesel–electric engines reduce emissions significantly while maintaining reliable range and power, enabling the vessel to operate with a carbon footprint roughly half that of older expedition ships. Most cabins include private balconies, communal areas are deliberately generous, and dining spans both a full restaurant and 24/7 bistro. Expedition logistics—zodiacs, science activities, photographic support and medical readiness—are built into the core offering, ensuring a consistent, competent experience from the Arctic to Antarctica.
