Adventurer

(122 Passengers)

Introduction

The 122-passenger ship Adventurer is among the very few vessels in the world specifically constructed for expedition voyages to remote polar regions like Antarctcia. Her ice-strengthened hull permits her to glide easily and safely through icy waters that are not accessible to conventional cruise vessels. This small expedition ship has advanced communications and navigation equipment, and newly installed, state-of-the-art Sperry Gyrofin stabilizers.

Refurbished in Style

In 1998, the Adventurer had a $13 million conversion done in Scandinavian. She is a handsome expedition vessel, designed in the style of great ocean liners when ships were ships. With lots of varnished wood, brass, and wooden decks, the Adventurer has all new outside cabins with lower beds and private facilities. There is a Main Lounge, bar, Clipper Club, library/card room, gymnasium, sauna, gift shop, and beauty salon. American staff serves American and Continental cuisine. The ship has a fleet of 10 Zodiacs and a special loading platform. An ice class rating of A-1 allows the Clipper Adventurer to go to places larger cruise ships can only dream of, and she does it in comfort and style unsurpassed by other vessels her size.
