Join us aboard the Ocean Albatros on an unforgettable Arctic expedition through Svalbard’s breathtaking wilderness, cruising among whales, walruses, polar bears, and millions of seabirds. This ice-class vessel is specially built to navigate the polar pack ice, allowing exploration of remote and pristine environments. Experience the high summer in the Arctic, when reindeer and Arctic foxes prepare for winter and seabird cliffs teem with life. This expedition will sail as close as possible to the northern pack ice, the favoured summer habitat of polar bears, while also visiting accessible locations along Svalbard’s coast kept navigable by the warm Gulf Stream. From wildlife hotspots to eerie historical sites, glittering icebergs to breathtaking glaciers, this voyage offers a true immersion into nature’s high-Arctic paradise in one week-long voyage, blending staggering scenery, wildlife-watching, and historical discovery.

  • High Arctic penetration: landings on Nordaustlandet or Sjuøyane and navigation deep into the polar ice pack north of Svalbard.
  • Wildlife at the edge of habitability: polar bears, walrus, Arctic foxes, seabird megacolonies, and ice-dependent marine mammals in intact ecosystems.
  • Exploration heritage and science frontier: whaling relics at Smeerenburg, historic Ny-Ålesund, and continuous adaptation to sea ice, weather, and light conditions.

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 a 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.
