Ortelius: An ice-strengthened ship that was formerly a Russian research vessel

Days: 11-21 | From: $10,700/per person

The Ortelius is a polar vessel meant for expedition travel. Built to the highest ice-class notation (UL1, equivalent to 1A), it is designed to navigate with confidence through solid one-year sea ice as well as loose multi-year pack ice. The Ortelius can accommodate up to 108 passengers and has an abundance of open-deck spaces. Though its voyages to Arctic and Antarctic destinations are primarily meant to offer passengers an exploratory wildlife program with as much time ashore as possible, the Ortelius features all the comforts of a standard hotel on board, including a bar and lecture room. Flexibility in excursions assures guests maximum wildlife opportunities.
