OCEAN ALBATROS

 
 

OCEAN ALBATROS

A New Era in Polar Exploration

Ocean Albatros is a next‑generation expedition vessel

tailored for immersive voyages in the harshest environments—from Antarctica to the High Arctic. Expertly engineered with Ulstein’s patented X‑Bow® hull, the ship ensures exceptional stability and fuel efficiency, making it one of the smoothest and most eco‑conscious polar ships sailing today

On board, the atmosphere is refined yet relaxed. All 94 staterooms have ocean views—most with private balconies—and there are inviting common spaces throughout: a panoramic observation lounge, two Jacuzzis, a wellness center with spa and gym, and even a glass-walled sauna with a view of the sea. Retractable observation platforms bring you eye-level with the ice and wildlife, while the lecture lounge and science lab keep you connected to the region through daily talks and research programs.

Outfitted with a full fleet of Zodiacs, Ocean Albatros offers twice-daily landings led by a skilled expedition team. This is an Antarctic cruise ship that delivers a balance of comfort and adventure with thoughtful care for the polar environment and it’s guests.
