Sister ship to HANSEATIC nature and HANSEATIC inspiration, this modern expedition vessel accommodates up to 230 guests (reduced to 199 for Antarctic voyages), combining adventure and comfort perfectly for a refined journey to the farthest corners of the globe. On board, three spacious first-class restaurants offer a unique blend of expedition spirit and international gourmet cuisine. With flexible dining times, open seating, and attentive 24-hour cabin service, you can shape each day exactly as you wish.

After a day on the Antarctic or Arctic ice, the Ocean Spa offers a dedicated wellness sanctuary at sea just waiting to welcome you. Relax in the Finnish sauna with sweeping ocean views, or enjoy the steam sauna before stepping out into the invigorating sea air on the adjacent deck. The pool area, complete with a flexible canopy, can be enjoyed in any weather.

Complementing the ship’s design is a highly experienced crew committed to delivering outstanding service with genuine warmth. Each voyage is enriched by a knowledgeable expedition team, whose expertise is shared through engaging lectures and guided experiences. These specialists bring deep insight, backed by extensive research, publications, and firsthand exploration of the regions, enhancing every aspect of the journey.
