For those who believe there can never be true synergy between luxury travel and expedition cruising, look no further than on Vantage’s first ocean-cruising small ship: the five-star
Ocean Explorer.
Launching in 2021, the intimately-scaled
Ocean Explorer will accommodate up to 170 guests with 77 cabins and a landmark 15 solo cabins. Breathtaking views abound on the ship’s soaring multilevel observation lounge and lobby. Relax by the swimming pool, catch a movie on the outdoor movie screen, or be enraptured during curated lectures, programs, musical performances, and cultural events. Vantage’s onboard Concierge will cater to a guest’s every need, both pre-trip and during the cruise.
Fine dining, small passenger-to-crew ratio, and spa amenities and services await on board — along with adventures like small-group wildlife viewing, biking, kayaking and paddleboarding offshore (on select itineraries). What’s more, the
Ocean Explorer features the latest satellite and navigation technology, including ULSTEIN X-BOW® technology, allowing for smoother sailing and deeper exploration into packed ice, enhancing your comfort as you traverse the world’s seas.
