With two helicopters on board, experience spectacular excursions to the remotest parts of the Antarctic.
Designed to go beyond the familiar in polar exploration, on an Ultramarine cruise you will discover new places and immerse yourself in the best that Antarctica has to offer.
The stand-out offer is two twin-engine helicopters, offering excursions to otherwise inaccessible locations. Ultramarine is superfluous on every level, with spacious suites in its category, breathtaking public spaces, including a wrap-around deck, and more outdoor wildlife viewing spaces than other expedition ships its size.
It also features an innovative mix of sustainability features which exceed all industry standards.
Ultramarine has 102 suites across nine categories, including six solo suites with floor-to-ceiling windows and the largest entry-level twin suites of its class. Each suite has been meticulously designed to connect with the breathtaking polar landscapes outside.
What we love about Ultramarine
- The wrap-around deck on the 5th Deck with its generous outdoor viewing opportunities to take in the polar landscapes and seize the moment when wildlife encounters occur.
- The unique design of an internal hangar which quickly and safely deploys the twenty Zodiacs, allowing for more spontaneous off-ship adventures and to engage more closely with wildlife.
- The two helicopters open up new destinations accessible only by air, but also to enjoying the spectacular aerial perspectives of the polar regions.
A wide range of guided expeditions allows you to explore Antarctica from different perspectives.
During days at sea, you can enjoy lectures and workshops presented by the expert Expedition Team and spend leisure time on deck looking for seabirds and cetaceans.
Other days are packed full with multiple landings, Zodiac cruises and activities. Hike across the ice, rock and snow, sharing the otherwise deserted terrain with a colony of penguins. Or explore the fjords and glaciers at a water level, kayaking through the mazes of ice. Soar above the vast, icy landscapes in a helicopter, reaching remote areas only accessible by air.
The onboard facilities have everything covered, with public spaces including a boutique, a library, a gym, a spa, sauna and steam room. In downtime, relax in the lounge areas or the bistro bar, or on the outdoor decks. Meals are served in the restaurant, and the bistro bar also serves light snacks at all times.
When to travel
The best time to visit Antarctica is between November and March when temperatures begin to climb, the days are getting longer and sea ice melts making it easier for the ship to pass through the water.
