Seaventure

Purpose-built for high-latitude adventure and meticulously refurbished for modern comfort, MS Seaventure carries about 150 guests on polar voyages operated by 66 Degree Expeditions. A 1A Super ice-class hull lets the ship nose into bays other vessels avoid, while retractable fin stabilizers smooth the ride. Inside, warm wood paneling, an inviting Club Lounge, and floor-to-ceiling windows frame the frozen scenery. Outside, a full wrap-around deck and a fleet of 14 Zodiacs transform the vessel into a nimble base camp for twice-daily landings and hands-on science. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
