The ice-strengthened vessel Ortelius is one of the smaller ships with only 109 passengers and is a perfect vessel for Polar expedition cruises in Antarctica, providing you with possibilities to adventure in the most remote locations.

The vessel has the highest ice-class notation (UL1 equivalent to 1A) and is therefore very suitable to navigate in solid one-year sea ice and loose multi-year pack ice. “Ortelius” is a great expedition vessel for 108 passengers with lots of open-deck
spaces.

The vessel is manned by 24 highly experienced international nautical crew, 20 international hotel crew, including stewardesses, 8 expedition staff (1 expedition leader and 7
guides/lecturers), and 1 doctor.

The vessel offers simple but comfortable cabins and public
spaces • 4 quadruple cabins with bunk beds (these can also be used as triple or twin cabins) • 26 twin porthole cabin with 2 single lower berths • 12 twin cabins with windows and 2 single lower berths • 2 twin deluxe cabins with windows and 2 single lower berths • 6 superior cabins with double beds.

All cabins are spacious outside cabins with a minimum of two portholes or windows per cabin and all cabins have private shower and toilet.

”Ortelius” offers a comfortable hotel standard, with two restaurants, a bar/lecture room. Our voyages are primarily developed to offer our passengers a quality exploratory
wildlife program, trying to spend as much time ashore as possible.

As the number of passengers is limited to approximately 108 on the “Ortelius”, flexibility assures maximum wildlife opportunities.
