The Heritage Adventurer is a true expedition vessel of exceptional quality and design. Built in 1991, this 140-guest expedition vessel was purpose built for polar expeditions. Combining a high passenger ship ice class rating (1A Super) and a rich expedition history including most of the northern and southern Arctic and Antarctic, the Adventurer superimposes the notion of a truly tried and tested expedition vessel.
Each voyage on board the Adventurer is entirely unique. Your expedition crew will meticulously plan and design each exploration in true expedition style.
A fleet of 14 zodiacs ensures that every guest can maximise their expedition experience once on board.
Guests will enjoy a personalised experience on one of the industry’s most iconic polar vessels.
Well-appointed ship ideally suited to expeditions
Complete with stylish accommodations, two restaurants and a bar and lounge area guests will find a number of avenues for relaxation. Furthermore, the ship's Open Bridge policy means that guests will be able to first-hand experience the expedition experience from the eyes and shared experiences of the captain and crew.
Exploration is the top focus
Having held records for the most northern and southern Arctic and Antarctic navigations, and for traversing both the Northwest and Northeast Passages, the purpose-built Heritage Adventurer was built in Finland for the purpose of Antarctic and Arctic expeditions.
Inviting onboard amenities
