Antarctica Complete Itinerary
Ushuaia, ArgentinaUshuaia, Argentina
The Antarctica Complete Polar Expedition operates counterclockwise, round-trip from Ushuaia, Argentina.
Arrive in Ushuaia, where you will be met by a ship representative and transferred with your fellow expeditioners to your assigned pre-voyage hotel. If you are already in Ushuaia, we ask you to make your way to your hotel. Check-in is from 3:00pm. This afternoon, visit the hospitality desk in the hotel lobby, between 3:00pm and 7:00pm, to collect your luggage tags and confirm if you wish to join the Lake Escondido pre-embarkation tour tomorrow. The ship’s team will confirm details regarding your embarkation day, answer any questions and provide you with information on where to dine or purchase last-minute items.
Expeditioners arriving after 7:00pm will find a welcome pack waiting for them at check-in. We ask you to visit the hospitality desk tomorrow between 8:00am and 10:00am. The remainder of your time is at leisure. All meals today are at your own expense.
This morning, enjoy breakfast and check out. Please ensure your cabin luggage is fitted with cabin tags clearly labelled with your name and cabin number. Take your cabin luggage to hotel reception, prior to, or at check-out. Your luggage will be stored and transferred directly to the port for clearance, to be placed in your cabin ahead of your arrival on board. Please keep any valuables or personal items with you throughout the day.
Those wishing to join the Lake Escondido tour, please meet in the hotel lobby at 8:45am. This tour offers an unforgettable panoramic drive through big valleys of glacial origin, evergreen and deciduous forests, waterfalls and rivers, in the vastness of the Andes Mountain Range. Leave Ushuaia city to the northeast of Tierra del Fuego, driving through peat bog valleys to reach Garibaldi Pass, only accessible by a winding road that will take you to a panoramic point. From here, have amazing panoramic views of Lake Escondido and, if weather conditions allow, of Fagnano Lake. Start your descent towards the northeast to reach Fagnano Lake’s shore where you will visit a local ranch. After appreciating the landscape, you will have the chance to enjoy the typical Fuegian Lamb barbecue. Enjoy some free time there before returning to Ushuaia for ship embarkation.
Alternatively, enjoy your day at leisure and meet at your hotel lobby or from the meeting point at the parking lot near the pier (details will be given by your ground staff at the hotel), to be transferred to the pier for embarkation.
Once on board, you’ll have time to settle into your cabin before important mandatory briefings. As the ship pulls away from port, gather on the deck to commence your adventure with spectacular views over Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego.
This evening, get to know your fellow expeditioners and friendly expedition team and crew at a welcome dinner to celebrate the start of a thrilling adventure to Antarctica.
As you commence the Drake Passage crossing, make the most of your time getting comfortable with the motions of the sea. Your expedition team prepare you for your first landing with important wildlife guidelines and biosecurity procedures and start their lecture program to help you learn more about Antarctica’s history, wildlife and environment.
Your wildlife experiences begin as you enjoy watching and photographing the many seabirds, including majestic albatrosses and giant petrels following our vessel. On sea days, you can enjoy the facilities on board the vessel including the gym, sauna and Jacuzzis or relax in one of the observation lounges.
Nearing the South Shetland Islands and the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula on the afternoon of Day 4, the excitement is palpable with everyone converging on one of the observation decks watching for the first iceberg. The ocean takes on a whole new perspective once you are below the Antarctic Convergence and are surrounded by the surreal presence of floating ice sculptures. The memory of your first big iceberg sighting is likely to remain with you for a lifetime. Time and weather permitting, you may attempt your first landing in Antarctica by late afternoon.
It’s almost impossible to describe the feeling of arriving in Antarctica. Take a deep breath of some of the most fresh, crisp air on earth. The western side of the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands are ready to be explored, and there are many options. Being so far south, experience approximately 18-24 hours of daylight, enabling the days to be as busy as desired. The experienced expedition team, who have made countless journeys to this area, will use their expertise to design the voyage from day to day, choosing the best options based on the prevailing weather, ice conditions and wildlife opportunities.
Hope to make landings or Zodiac excursions twice a day, as planned. Dress warmly before joining Zodiac cruises along spectacular ice cliffs or among grounded icebergs, keeping watch for whales, seals and porpoising penguins. Zodiacs will also provide transport between the ship and landing sites that are host to penguin rookeries and historic huts. While ashore, aim to stretch the legs, wandering along pebbly beaches or perhaps up snow-covered ridgelines to vantage points with mountains towering overhead and ice-speckled oceans below.
Possibly enjoy ship cruises through some of the narrow, dramatic straits separating offshore islands from the mainland, or linger in scenic bays to watch whales travelling or feeding. This is a great time to enjoy the observation lounge or bridge for uninterrupted views of Antarctica in all its splendor. Keep an ear out for the creak and deep rumble of glaciers as they carve their way from summit to sea, and take a quiet moment to experience the wonder of this incredible white continent.
On this voyage, under favorable conditions, plan to cross the Antarctic Circle, an imaginary line located at the Antarctic Circle at latitude 66°33′ South. This is certainly a special highlight for everyone, and the moment will be celebrated with a toast on the deck. Join a small group of lucky adventurers who’ve made it to this part of the world. As the ship approaches and crosses the circle, one can notice subtle changes in the landscape, icescape and in the distribution of wildlife. The waters at this time of year are rich with krill so there may be plenty of whales—particularly humpbacks and minkes. Enjoy the spectacle of penguins feeding their ravenous chicks.
Attend informative lectures to learn about Antarctica as you sail across the Scotia Sea towards the white continent. You may want to relax in the sauna or stay active in the gym; the choice is yours on how you want to enjoy days at sea.
Sea and weather conditions will determine your arrival time into South Georgia today.
As you near the rugged island of South Georgia, spare a thought for Captain James Cook, who arrived here in 1775 and believed it to be the northern tip of a great southern continent! In fact, it is a small island only 110 miles (176 km) long, but with a 9,842-foot (3,000 m) snow-capped mountain range, some of the world’s largest congregations of wildlife and a truly fascinating human history, South Georgia is an island of incredible riches.
On approach, jagged mountain peaks rise steeply, while seabirds are often spotted soaring around the ship. We will sail down the coast, taking in the spectacular glaciated scenery. This enchanting coastline is yours to explore!
If time and weather conditions permit, en route you could pass close to Shag Rocks, a fascinating group of jagged rocky islets protruding from the sea, in the proximity of South Georgia.
The experienced expedition team will plan the voyage from day to day, choosing the best options based on the prevailing weather, sea state and wildlife opportunities. Anticipate making landings or Zodiac excursions twice a day. Zodiac cruises scour craggy coves the rocky coastline in search of nesting penguins, seal haul-outs and bird cliffs. Watch for South Georgia’s kelp forests as well–these remarkable underwater ecosystems are quite mesmerizing as their fronds sway back and forth on the water’s surface.
Zodiacs will also transport you from ship to shore, where you can visit some of the largest king penguin colonies on earth, take a guided walk among fur seals and elephant seals (making sure you listen to your guides and keep your distance!) and wander along pebbled streams and grassy glacial outwash plains. We also hope to visit the remnants of South Georgia’s thriving whaling stations and pay our respects to Sir Ernest Shackleton, whose incredible voyage of survival is synonymous with this island. If you have chosen an optional activity, you’ll have the option to do that whenever conditions allow.
Additionally, the ship may cruise through fjords with towering cliffs of ancient stone, or into deeply indented bays towards dramatic glacier fronts. This is a great time to find a comfy spot in the observation lounge or the bridge to enjoy uninterrupted views of South Georgia’s majestic coast.
Note: Select departures spend Days 14 – 16 at South Georgia, with the morning of Day 17 also there before an afternoon at sea.
Between the Falkland Islands and South Georgia, be enthralled by the ceaseless flight of the many seabirds that follow and circle the ship. Your onboard lecture program will continue with presentations from your team of experts. You can also enjoy the many facilities on the ship, borrow a book from the well–stocked library or perhaps stay active in the fitness center.
Sea and weather conditions will determine your arrival time into Falklands~Malvinas today.
The Falklands~Malvinas comprises two large islands (East and West Falkland), with over 700 islands scattered off the coast. All but seven of these are uninhabited, with windswept coastlines, white-sand beaches and crystal-clear water. These beautifully barren islands are true wildlife havens, sheltering an impressive diversity of birdlife, including the largest black-browed albatross colony on earth. The cold, nutrient-rich waters surrounding the islands make this a prime location for spotting marine life.
The Falkland Islands comprises two large islands (East and West Falkland), with over 700 islands scattered off the coast.

These beautifully barren islands are true wildlife havens, sheltering an impressive diversity of birdlife, including the largest black-browed albatross colony on earth. The cold, nutrient-rich waters surrounding the islands make this a prime location for spotting marine life.
There are many beautiful areas to explore across the Falklands, each offering a unique perspective on this magnificent archipelago. The experienced expedition team, who have made countless journeys to this area, will use their expertise to design the voyage from day to day, choosing the best options based on the prevailing winds, weather and wildlife opportunities.
Anticipate making landings or Zodiac excursions twice a day, weather permitting. Despite being north of the Antarctic Convergence, it can be quite chilly here, so layer up before joining Zodiac cruises into rocky coves or along sea cliffs, keeping watch for seals, sea lions, dolphins and porpoising penguins. Zodiacs will also transport guests from the ship to land to visit possible albatross colonies, penguin rookeries and perhaps even enjoy a traditional English tea and scones gathering at a local cottage.
Conditions permitting, also aim to land in historic Stanley, the capital of the Falklands. This charming town has a distinctly British character, with terraced townhouses, pioneer cottages and even an iconic red telephone box! Colorful buildings house cozy cafes, English pubs, souvenir shops, a post office and the fascinating Historic Dockyard Museum, with displays on the maritime history of the Falkland Islands, natural history and links to Antarctica.
While sailing towards Ushuaia, you may choose to spend your precious time editing photos, enjoying the onboard facilities, or attending final lectures. Celebrate the end of an unforgettable voyage with newfound friends at a special captain’s farewell dinner.
With lectures and film presentations to complete your Antarctic experience, there is still plenty of time to enjoy the magic of the Southern Ocean and the life that calls it home. There is time for reflection and discussion about what you have seen and experienced. Hopefully you’ll become an ambassador for the Antarctic region, telling your family, friends and colleagues about your journey to this magical place, advocating for its conservation and preservation so that they might one day visit the region to experience what you have been lucky to see and do here.
During the early morning, cruise up the Beagle Channel before quietly slipping into dock in Ushuaia, where disembarkation occurs around 8:00am. Say farewell to the expedition team and fellow passengers as everyone continues onward journeys, hopefully with a newfound sense of the immense power of nature.
Upon disembarkation, for those continuing their travels in the region, transportation to the hotel will be arranged exclusively for guests who have booked their accommodations through the ship operator or for those staying in downtown areas near the port.

The Greg Mortimer is an adventure-ready expedition ship designed for comfortable cruising in rugged, remote areas. Built and launched in 2019, this activity- and conservation-minded vessel honors the esteemed Australian mountaineer of the same name. It is the sister ship to the Sylvia Earle and Douglas Mawson, and accommodates an average of 132 guests in 79 cabins. All cabins have ocean views and 85% have balconies.
This is the first passenger ship to feature the patented X-BOW® icebreaker hull. The design allows it to cross oceans more efficiently and comfortably. Its ice class 6 rating enables it to operate year-round in polar environments. Its ability to venture farther, paired with a design optimized for active off-ship excursions, sets the stage for incredible and far-reaching experiences.
This version of Greg Mortimer's cabin categories and amenities is for her Aurora Expeditions voyages. The Greg Mortimer: Lindblad also sails with a slightly different deck plan for other itineraries.
Why Sail Aboard Greg Mortimer
Choose the Greg Mortimer cruise ship for its spirit of adventure, focus on active excursions and novel design. Stemming from 25 years of polar expertise, its design enables unique vantages to experience the polar world. There are well-thought spaces to prepare for outings, and efficient means of on- and off-boarding guests for outdoor adventures. This state-of-the-art expedition vessel offers the ideal base camp for adventures at the outer limits of exploration. Greg Mortimer is certainly a top choice if you are seeking a purpose built, activity-minded, ice-class global expedition ship or Antarctica ship.
AdventureSmith Explorations has been aboard the Greg Mortimer firsthand. Read our dedicated Greg Mortimer Ship Review, written by our founder and president who sailed aboard the ship in Antarctica. Or consult this page further for a detailed description of the Greg Mortimer, including ship specs, deck plan, cabin images, photo gallery and current links to all the trips it sails. We can help compare the Greg Mortimer with other small cruise ships offering Northern Europe small ship cruises, small ship cruises in Australia, New Zealand small ship cruises, Antarctica cruises and Arctic cruises, including Greenland cruises and Iceland cruises.
Design, Sustainability & Accessibility
Purpose built and small enough to go where others cannot, the ship was designed in consultation with expedition leaders. The Greg Mortimer is designed for extreme conditions, active explorations, wildlife watching, education and learning, and a comfortable onboard experience.
Ulstein X-BOW®
The ship was designed and built by the Norwegian ship builders Ulstein Group. MV Greg Mortimer ship is the first tourist expedition ship in operation to offer Ulstein’s innovative, signature bow—the X-BOW®. This patented, inverted bow design is already used on over 100 vessels in commercial shipping. It enables increased sustainability, efficiency, safety and stability in polar regions. This state-of-the-art design, combined with Rolls Royce dynamic stabilizers, offers more comfortable cruising in rough seas, including the Drake Passage.
Moving among landing sites more efficiently lessens the ship's environmental impact, reducing fuel consumption up to 80% compared to older ships. This bow design also creates space for windows close to the water. Guests can view straight ahead and down into the ocean from a vantage point not possible with older ships that feature a traditional bulbous bow. This translates into the ability for passengers to appreciate the majesty of an iceberg immediately as it appears on the horizon.
Combine the bow design with multiple observation decks, including observation wings that extend out from the sides of the ship, and Greg Mortimer is a top choice for viewing the polar environment from the ship. The ship's larger volume displacement in the fore, plus inverted bow and slender hull lines offer higher fuel efficiency, less loss of speed in waves, more stability in turbulent waters, softer entry into waves, low acceleration levels, less spray, less slamming and bow impact, and reduced vibration. Additionally, Zero Speed™ dynamic stabilizers help create unrivaled stability and comfort.
Zodiac Launching Platforms
The ship carries 15 Zodiacs for off-vessel explorations. Board Zodiacs via four dedicated launching platforms accessed at sea level from the mudroom. These launch platforms make boarding the Zodiacs quick, efficient and safe. Wait times are minimized, getting you closer to the action for longer. Whether you’re Zodiac cruising through awe-inspiring fjords in search of wildlife or making a quick transit from ship to a shore landing site, these sturdy crafts will play an integral role in your expedition experience.
Activities Platform
Spacious activity preparation areas and loading platforms were designed and built in consultation with expert activity guides. A range of add-on adventure activities from kayaking and diving to climbing and ski touring may be available. This expedition ship is designed to support these activities, making the transition from ship to sea or shore as smooth and efficient as possible.
Hydraulic Viewing Platforms
In addition to onboard observation areas, the Greg Mortimer features unique hydraulic viewing platforms. Designed in conjunction with Greg himself, these platforms can be used in calm waters during gentle cruising or when the ship is stationary. The fold-out design provides unobstructed views of passing marine life and seabirds.
Responsible Travel Features
Preserving and protecting the environment is reflected in several features of the ship. This ship boasts one of the lowest polluting marine engines in the world due to low energy consumption, high fuel-efficiency and a streamlined design to deliver an 80% reduction in emissions (Compared to Tier 1 engines). The ship also features virtual anchoring to hold its position using a combination of GPS, steering technology, propellers and thrusters. This protects the sea floor and minimizes the damage caused by conventional anchors.
Safety Features
The Greg Mortimer cruise ship features industry-leading safety technology that exceeds the requirements for a ship of this size. Additionally, its world class return-to-port equipment duplicates the propulsion system. This provides a back-up means to maintain operating systems in the event of engine failure. The Greg Mortimer ship is Ice Class 1A and Polar Code 6 compliant, it holds the BV (Bureau Veritas)* class and is fully compliant with the latest SOLAS requirements. The ship also features a fully-stocked medical clinic designed for use in remote areas.
Onboard Facilities
Designed by Aurora Expeditions, an Australia operator with decades of polar cruising experience, the social areas focus on comfort, efficiency and views. Wide corridors and stairways combined with high ceilings give the ship a spacious feeling. A central elevator and stairway provides easy access to all decks. Water bottle refill stations encourage guests to stay hydrated and conserve glassware. Striking polar art is prominent throughout the ship and in cabins. Some hallways act as galleries with historical images and interpretive information accompanying each photo, or offer a bulletin of guest and crew photos with names.
Lecture Theater & Lounge
Naturalists, expedition leaders and local specialists offer presentations on their area of expertise to deepen your understanding of the region you’re visiting. Join the team in the lecture theater for presentations covering topics as broad as history and culture, biology and climate change. Lectures and presentations have one thing in common: they all aim to engage, educate and entertain.
The lecture theater and lounge comfortably accommodates all guests in a variety of seating arrangements. Clever rows of high-back barstool chairs, cocktail tables and cushy swivel chairs maximize space and ensure everyone can see and hear lecturers. Groups of sofas and chairs underneath large view windows line the sides of the room and are utilized frequently outside of formal lecture times. Numerous screens, a state-of-the-art lectern and a cutting-edge sound system ensure no lecture details are missed.
Dining, Bars & Lounges
Guests are treated to an array of food options with hearty meals and delicious morning/afternoon teas. Greg Mortimer features two restaurants: the main venue serving buffet-style family meals with à la carte dinner and reservations-required concept restaurant the Tuscan Grill. The Tuscan Grill is an Italian-style menu and reservations are made onboard through reception. It is included in the cost and open nightly.
Viewing windows keep the polar environment in sight while guests dine. Tea, coffee and snacks are available 24 hours a day. The menu changes, but consistently features meat, poultry, fish and vegetarian options. A fixed menu of steaks, chicken and fish prepared to order is always on offer. A variety of house wine, beers and soft drinks also rotates with each sitting and are complimentary.
The bar area outside the lecture theater and lounge, known as the Elephant Bar, is the social heart of the ship. Tables and chairs near large ceiling-to-floor windows are occupied throughout the day. A large central bar staffed by efficient and engaging tenders offers a wide variety of beer, wine, champagne and spirits, with a nightly cocktail special and appetizers served each evening. This bar hosts daily happy hour for guests and expedition leaders to mingle.
Mawson’s Bar on Deck 7 is another popular social area with a totally different feel. A 180-degree wall of windows allows outdoor viewing in warmth and comfort. Doors to the outside observation deck allow guests to pop in and out, retreating indoors when it's cold outside. Similar cocktail tables and high bar-stools provide a variety of seating with unobstructed views.
Walk inside at the front of Deck 8 to enjoy an enclosed observation lounge. This lounge includes a bar, ceiling-to-floor panoramic windows, wildlife guides, books and binoculars. This set up encourages passengers to relax and share the day's highlights with newfound friends. Deck 8's open-air BBQ area is ready to host a special meal on a spectacular day. The two Jacuzzis and two plunge pools at the back of Deck 8 offer a tranquil and refreshing experience between activities.
Observation Decks
Multiple observation decks spread throughout the ship is designed for wildlife watching, scenic views, outdoor gatherings and photography. Outdoor observations are located on decks 5, 7 and 8. Deck 5 includes sheltered viewing platforms on starboard and port near the front of the ship. This deck also features the special hydraulic viewing platforms that extend out from near the bow. The aft of Deck 7 offers a large sun deck to enjoy on a calm day. The fore of Decks 7 and 8 features a teak, wraparound observation deck, extending onto outdoor walkways along both sides of Deck 8.
Spa, Sauna & Gym
Relaxing treatments in the Wellness Center spa encourage one to unwind after a day in the polar elements, as does the wooden sauna with a floor-length viewing window. The gym enables guests to maintain fitness routines with weight machines, spin bikes and treadmills.
Library
With floor-to-ceiling windows, the library is a peaceful sanctuary to relax, read, organize photos or play board games with newfound friends. No need to pack a wildlife guide with an ample selection of informative nonfiction titles, guidebooks, travel journals, historical journals, coffee table books, novels and a selection of children's books. Wildlife guides, books and binoculars can also be found on the observation lounge on Deck 7.
Mudroom
The specially designed mudroom is the launchpad for off-vessel shore excursions and activities. Guests have access to an open locker storage area for boots, jacket, personal flotation device and other outerwear. This removes the need to store these wet items in one's cabin. Rapid drying areas for drysuits and wetsuits provide the best opportunity for gear to dry out between outings. Four launching platforms from the mudroom efficiently embark Zodiacs for off-vessel explorations.
The mudroom also features bio-security clearance zones for washing and cleaning boots or outerwear as required. This ensures the polar surroundings remain pristine. Activity preparation areas, laser scanning technology and four dedicated, sea-level Zodiac loading platforms along both sides as well as the rear of the ship enable efficient ship-to-shore operations for guests and the 15 Zodiacs carried on board.
Other Facilities
The Greg Mortimer boat offers accessibility via an elevator serving all six guest decks. The ship's shop provides memorable gifts to bring back home and also supplies crucial forgotten items. On board, enjoy satellite WiFi throughout the ship. The open bridge welcomes guests for a visit with its modern and spacious viewing area. A lack of guest seating in the wheelhouse discourages lingering too long so that everyone has access.
Activities & Expeditions
The Greg Mortimer ship is designed to keep passengers engaged while cruising. Its heart lies in off-ship immersions into the unique environments in which it sails. Whether you seek adventure on land or at sea, a huge range of optional activities make the most of your experience in some of the most beautiful places on earth. This is the ship to nurture your inner adventurer.
All cruises include expected activities such as shore hikes, small craft explorations and photography. The menu of optional activities and the dedication to active exploration distinguishes cruises aboard this ship. Choose from sea kayaking, camping, snowshoeing, ski or snowboard touring (when available), scuba diving, snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, or alpine trekking and climbing. These optional activities will be your main mode of exploration through your trip. Guides will assess the conditions at each landing with an effort to join whenever conditions allow. Optional activities are popular and group sizes are limited. If you are interested, plan to book early. Additional fees apply.
Crew, Guides & Expedition Leaders
Up to 20 expedition guides aboard each departure help create a focus on immersion into the polar wilds in which the ship sails. Educational and entertaining guides keep guests engaged on topics such as history, culture, biology and climate. Naturalists and local specialists aim to deepen passengers' understanding of the region in which they're traveling. Each departure's 71-80 well-trained, international crew members are ready to make polar dreams come true, with an eye for detail and a passion for fun.
Each evening, guides conduct a review/preview lecture and slideshow to review the day's events and prepare guests for the next day. The tag-team nature of their presentations ensure there is always an expert to handle any question and the variety of disciplines overlap and enrich the topic at hand. Formal guide lectures during days at sea provide a foundation of knowledge that enhances the Greg Mortimer Antarctica ship experience.
Cabins & Greg Mortimer Deck Plan
All cabins are comfortable, with neutral tones and earthy touches of wood and stone. Each stateroom or suite offers the option of one king-size bed or two twin beds; spacious, private ensuite bathroom with heated floors, toilet and separate vanity sink; room-controlled thermostat; safe; 42-inch flat-screen TV; desk area; closet space; one mug and drink bottle per guest; and electrical outlets serving 220 volts, 60 hertz AC via a universal plug. Select cabins feature a wheelchair-accessible configuration. Find our detailed Greg Mortimer deck plan below and ask our experts for firsthand cabin recommendations.
A note on cabins with balconies: In our experience, balconies are used daily for activities ranging from a coffee break to reading, taking in sunsets and observing wildlife. Cabins with balconies benefit from a large glass view door and window—an immediate doorway into wilderness.
The Sylvia Earle is an adventure-ready polar expedition ship and sister ship to the Greg Mortimer and Douglas Mawson. This modern ship honors the highly accomplished marine biologist, oceanographer and explorer Sylvia Earle. Sylvia Earle was first female chief scientist of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and named by Time Magazine as its first Hero for the Planet in 1998. The ship plays tribute to her longstanding conservation efforts for marine protected areas and ocean wildlife by boasting one of the lowest-polluting marine engines in the world due to low energy consumption, high fuel-efficiency and a streamlined design. She is at the cutting edge of nautical technology: robust, powerful and designed for rugged, remote areas. Pair this with her interior comforts and extensive menu of active off-ship excursions and you have the perfect package for an expedition experience.

Design, Sustainability & Accessibility Aboard Sylvia Earle
Designed and built by the Norwegian ship builders Ulstein Group, Sylvia Earle is the second in her fleet to sail with the patented ULSTEIN X-BOW®, whose inverted bow design, in combination with Rolls Royce dynamic stabilizers offers unrivaled stability and comfort on ocean crossings. The Ulstein X-BOW® cuts through the swell, minimizing vibrations and disturbances, and makes quicker transits through waves. With this state-of-the-art design, Sylvia Earle offers more comfortable cruising in rough seas while also moving among landing sites more efficiently and lessening the ship's environmental impact thanks to reduced fuel consumption by up to 80% compared to older ships. This bow design also creates space for windows close to the water, enabling guests to view straight ahead and down into the ocean from a vantage point not possible with older ships that feature a traditional bulbous bow.
Combine the bow design with her unique two-level glass atrium lounge and multiple observation decks, and Sylvia Earle is a top choice for onboard viewing of the surrounding polar environment. The ship also features virtual anchoring to hold its position using a combination of GPS, steering technology, propellers and thrusters, thus protecting the sea floor and minimizing the damage caused by conventional anchors. On-board desalination plants convert seawater to fresh water that is safe to drink so the ship can carry less fresh water on sea crossings, further reducing fuel consumption. In 2025, Sylvia Earle successfully carried out its first trial of burning marine biofuel (hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO). Finally, Sylvia Earle offers accessibility via an elevator serving all six guest decks, as well as select cabins that feature a wheelchair-accessible configuration.
Common Areas Aboard Sylvia Earle
Communal meeting areas play a major role in fostering the warm camaraderie on board Sylvia Earle. They are the heart of the expedition, where guests meet to share tales from the day, swap photos, keep an eye out for wildlife and watch the sun go down. Unique to this ship, each public deck bears the name of a pioneering female conservationist, including: Dr. Carden Wallace AM (coral conservationist), Joanna Ruxton (plastic-free pioneer), Sharon Kwok (future generation educator), Bernadette Demientieff (arctic wildlife guardian) and Dr. Sylvia Earle herself.
The bars and lounges on board Sylvia Earle are refined yet inviting places to gather, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering stunning views, and of course friendly bartenders to shoot the breeze with. A highlight of the ship is her unique two-level glass atrium lounge stretching from the floor of Deck 5 to the ceiling of Deck 6, and offer stunning panoramic view from the bow on both the port and starboard sides. In polar regions this means that passengers will be able to appreciate the majesty of an iceberg immediately as it appears on the horizon. The fore of Decks 7 and 8 features a teak, wraparound observation deck, extending onto outdoor walkways along both sides of Deck 8. Walk inside at the front of Deck 8 to enjoy an enclosed observation lounge with bars, panoramic windows, wildlife guides, books, binoculars and a set up that encourages passengers to relax and share the day's highlights with newfound friends. The back of Deck 7 offers a large sun deck with a heated saltwater open-air swimming pool and two Jacuzzis. Finally, enjoy satellite WiFi throughout the ship and a fully-stocked medical clinic, ready to help with ailments during each voyage.
Dining Aboard Sylvia Earle
Whatever adventures the day holds, guests are fueled-up with hearty meals and delicious morning and afternoon teas prepared by onboard chefs. Sylvia Earle features two restaurants on Deck 8: the main venue, Gentoo serving buffet-style breakfast and lunches with à la carte dinner, and a reservations-required restaurant, the Rockhopper hosting a steakhouse-style dinner. The elegant-yet-casual dining options feature tables of various sizes and configurations to accommodate groups of varying sizes. Viewing windows keep the polar environment in sight while guests dine. Tea, coffee and snacks are available 24 hours a day. Enjoy a variety of house wine, beers and soft drinks while aboard.
Activities Aboard Sylvia Earle
Activities play a major part in the Sylvia Earle experience and her thoughtful design encourages a true sense of exploration. Offering a large selection of optional activities to make the most of the adventure, the ship lets guests choose from expert-led kayak expeditions, mountaineering, snowshoeing, ski/snowboard touring, polar snorkeling and diving, hiking and exploration by Zodiac. The specially-designed mudroom provides each guest with an open locker storage area for boots, jacket, personal flotation device and other outerwear, removing the need to store these wet items in one's cabin. Rapid drying areas for dry suits and wetsuits provide the best opportunity for gear to dry out between outings. The mudroom also features biosecurity clearance zones for washing and cleaning boots or outerwear as required, to ensure the polar surroundings remain pristine. Activity preparation areas and four dedicated, sea-level Zodiac loading platforms along both sides as well as the rear of the ship enable efficient ship-to-shore operations for the 15 Zodiacs carried on board.
Located at the heart of the ship and featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, the library is a peaceful sanctuary stocked with polar literature about pioneering explorers, wildlife and more to inspire and inform. The library also features space to organize photos and board games to engage with other guests over. The gym enables guests to maintain fitness routines with weight machines, spin bikes and treadmills. Relaxing treatments in the Wellness Center spa encourage one to unwind after a day in the polar elements, as does the wooden sauna with a floor-length viewing window. The ship's shop provides memorable gifts to bring back home and also supplies crucial forgotten items. The lecture theater and lounge is a large indoor theater used regularly to provide the full complement of guests with educational talks and informative briefings on topics including history, wildlife, climate and daily activities.
Crew & Guides Aboard Sylvia Earle
The 14-19 expedition guides aboard each departure help create a focus on immersion into the polar wilds in which the ship sails. In keeping with Sylvia’s own vision and achievements, the Sylvia Earle expedition ship also has a large focus on marine education and conservation with marine researchers, scientists and conservationists also aboard the voyage. Join the team in the lecture theater for educational and entertaining topics on history and culture, biology and climate. Naturalists and local specialists aim to deepen passengers' understanding of the region in which they're traveling. Each departure's 71-80 well-trained, international crew members are ready to make polar dreams come true, with an eye for detail and a passion for fun.
Cabins & Deck Plan Aboard Sylvia Earle
All 71 cabins are comfortable, with neutral tones, pops of nautical blue and earthy touches of wood and stone. A generous 80% of Sylvia Earle's cabins will include a private balcony, 60% can accommodate a third guest and the ship will feature over 20 interconnecting balcony staterooms. Each stateroom or suite offers the option of one king-size bed or two twin beds, private ensuite bathroom, room-controlled thermostat, safe, 42-inch flat-screen TV, desk area, closet space, one mug and drink bottle per guest, and electrical outlets serving 220 volts, 60 hertz AC via a universal plug.

Design, Sustainability & Accessibility
Douglas Mawson is a ship that incorporates lessons learned from over 30 years of exploration, plus the cutting-edge technologies of Norwegian ship builders Ulstein Group. Expect a smoother ride than most ships, education-focused spaces, plenty of common areas that bring the outside in, and a platform for both activity and relaxation.
Ulstein X-BOW®
Douglas Mawson's inverted X-BOW® hull offers guests a more stable experience while the ship is underway, along with increased efficiency with its ability to slice through waves. An added benefit is the ability to put view windows closer to the waterline, for improved wildlife viewing.
Activity Preparation Areas
Douglas Mawson features purpose-built zones to enable efficient ship-to-shore (or paddle) activities. Two Zodiac embarkation zones get travelers off faster on multiple daily excursions, while a rear activity launchpad makes room for kayakers to come and go at the same time. A mudroom with assigned lockers keeps expedition wear organized and out of one's cabin. And the Assembly Station offers plenty of space for groups to gather initially.
Advanced Tech Features
The Douglas Mawson cruise ship features leading safety technology, including an operating system back-up, dynamic positioning, Zero Speed™ stabilizers and diesel electric hybrid engines for energy optimization. The Douglas Mawson also employs reusable tech such as engine waste heat recovery for interior warming and microplastic capture filtration for all on-board clothes washing machines. The ship also offers a medical clinic ready for treatments in remote areas.
Onboard Facilities
The Douglas Mawson small ship features inviting spaces cleverly designed with over 30 years of expedition cruising by its Australian operator, B-Corp-certified Aurora Expeditions. Onboard facilities include two restaurants, a gym and sauna, a heated outdoor plunge pool and pool bar, two sun deck Jacuzzis, a citizen science center and library, and plenty of observation areas.
Lecture Theater
The Douglas Mawson cruise ship engages travelers through both off-ship exploration and on-ship enrichment. A robust series of informative lectures takes place in the theater on Deck 4—a space big enough to accommodate the entire passenger complement, itself complemented by an adjacent bar. Noted biologists, geologists, glaciologists and more provide regular talks to inform on the nature and wildlife experienced each day.
Dining, Bars & Lounges
With a formal dining room on Deck 5 and Deck's 8's "The Hut" (a casual top-deck restaurant with ala carte options and added outdoor picnic tables), the Douglas Mawson ship has dining options for all. Rotating menus are international in flavor and served buffet style for breakfast and lunch, and plated for dinner. Beer, house wine and soft drinks are included with dinner. Snacks, tea and coffee are made available around the clock. Guests can also opt for quicker, self-service buffet at the top-deck restaurant, which features sweeping views and both indoor and outdoor seating.
The top deck bar and observation lounge provides 180 degrees of glass, in a chic environment that's accessible to all via a ramp. The lounge offers a full bar including expresso station, a reference library, binoculars to borrow, and more comfortable seating for individuals or small groups. The open-air seating areas on Decks 7 (with barbecue) and 8 are protected by a shade structure and thoughtfully located at the back of the ship, out of any headwinds.
Pool, Jacuzzis, Sauna & Gym
Deck 7 features an outdoor sun deck that's ripe for relaxation between explorations, dining and lectures. A plunge pool centers the space, available when the ship is not underway. Two Jacuzzis round out each back corner, offering spectacular views. Plenty of cushioned benches invite guests to lounge, either in the shade or full sun. Step inside for wellness amenities including a large, hot-stone cedar sauna and a gym lined with a wall of windows. Gym equipment includes elliptical machines, spin bikes, treadmills, a rowing machine, weight machines, benches, free weights, yoga mats and more. Walking enthusiasts will appreciate the loop from Deck 8 forward to Deck 7 aft.
Citizen Science Center & Library
Deck 5's citizen science center, library and glass atrium lounge (the latter split between Deck 5 and 6 by an elegant staircase) are a defining feature of the Douglas Mawson ship. Travelers can learn to use research tools like microscopes and contribute towards reporting efforts to help researchers monitor the health of wildlife and remote landscapes. A well-stocked library adds to one's understanding of the locales through which Douglas Mawson sails, including reference books, travel journals, novels and a selection of children’s books and board games.
Mudroom & Other Facilities
Deck 3's mudroom provides open-concept lockers and bench seating for guests to prepare for and return from regular off-ship explorations. Personal flotation devices, outerwear, boots and other clothing can be stored here between outings.
Other Douglas Mawson amenities include satellite internet, offered throughout the ship; an elevator that accesses all passenger decks; an Expedition Desk staffed by naturalist guides; a shop stocked with keepsakes and travel essentials; an open bridge, where guests can interact with captain and/or navigational crew when the seas are fair; and a Reception Desk for any needs during the trip.
Off-Ship Activities
In keeping with its adventurous namesake, the Douglas Mawson expedition ship offers a plethora of off-ship activities. All guests are treated to Zodiac cruises, walks and hikes on shore, and opportunities for birding and photography. Select departures may also offer sea kayaking, one-time paddling, camping, snowshoeing, snorkeling, diving, ski and snowboard touring, stand-up paddleboarding, mountaineering and rock climbing. Part of the expedition team is comprised of experts in these activities, ready to guide you in the field.
The ship's multiple Zodiac launch bays provides efficiency in getting guests on and off the ship, and their locations on both port and starboard enables flexibility when weather is present (as do the ship's stabilizer fins, which provide roll reduction even when the vessel is not underway). There are no ladders or gangways to navigate; passengers descend full-size tread and riser stairs, and load directly into the Zodiac.
Crew & Expedition Guides
The 13-23 expedition team members aboard Douglas Mawson are some of the industry's best; ask them for exciting stories from their discipline, or fun facts about the wildlife they're spotting alongside you. Expedition guides on Douglas Mawson are an ever-present fountain of knowledge; don't miss an opportunity to dine together as seating is open and dining hours are the same for everyone on board.
A robust deck & engine crew of 24 keep the Douglas Mawson small ship moving as planned, while a hotel team of 47-56 ensure that all guests are well attended to. With its modern technologies, Australian-inspired hospitality and thoughtful design, the Douglas Mawson ship attracts experienced crew from around the world.

The Douglas Mawson cruise ship features a wide variety of categories and configurations among its 86 cabins. Choose from 11 categories across Decks 3, 4, 6 and 7.
