Two 4.2 MW main engines power the vessel and provide exceptional mobility. Meanwhile, its advanced propulsion system ensures fuel efficiency and minimal environmental impact.  

The ship’s dual helicopter pads set it apart from all other Arctic and Antarctic cruises. Unique aerial exploration opportunities, such as heli-hiking, flightseeing, and glacier landings, take guests deeper into remote areas.

With a capacity of 199 guests, the Ultramarine offers 102 spacious and elegantly designed cabins. All come with private balconies that allow passengers to take in the breathtaking polar landscapes from the comfort of their rooms.

Activities and Exploration
