FEATURES OF THE OCEAN ENDEAVOUR

A wealth of activities

Yoga, kayaking, day paddle, stand-up paddleboarding, zodiac excursions and cruises, our exclusive photography program, in partnership with Sony, and camping are just some of the amazing activities you can enjoy on the Ocean Endeavour.

All departures are carbon offset

We quantify our carbon usage and then purchase carbon credits from various projects to offset our impact. We’ve also implemented a range of responsible travel initiatives, detailed in the Ocean Endeavour brochure (linked above).

We assist with scientific research on each voyage

During every Antarctic voyage, you can participate in our citizen science programs. We also provide berths to renowned scientists and researchers, providing space for them to conduct vital research. Each journey is also complemented by scientific lectures by the expedition team.

Spacious and welcoming onboard environment

There are spacious lounge and bar areas and a top deck observation room with panoramic windows, as well as lecture theatres, a library and a polar boutique. The ample deck areas are equipped with comfortable lounge chairs and feature a saltwater pool, saunas and even a hot tub, plus an onboard spa and complimentary yoga classes.

Spacious outdoor viewing

The Ocean Endeavour’s aft deck is ideal for wildlife watching and citizen science programs, either with a morning cup of coffee or your camera in hand. You’ll often spot sea birds, whales, or icebergs as you cruise through Antarctic waters.

Comfortable cabins to suit every traveller

Our extensive range of cabin options includes dedicated single cabins for solo travellers, suites and triple cabins that feature two bathrooms. The ship offers an unmatched sense of space with plenty of both interior and exterior areas, where you can enjoy the company of your fellow travellers or enjoy Antarctica in quiet solitude.
