The Discoverer is an intimate-scale expedition vessel that combines decades of polar navigation experience with the comforts of a modern boutique hotel. Built at the prestigious Rauma yards in Finland, the ship stands out for its robustness and agility. Elevated Comfort: Following a significant refurbishment in 2023, the ship offers bright public spaces, contemporary cabin designs, and refined finishes. Wellness facilities include a Spa with a sauna, steam room, and treatment rooms, alongside a fitness center with ocean views and outdoor jacuzzis that allow guests to relax surrounded by polar scenery. Life on Board: The atmosphere is personal and authentic, designed for quick landings and meaningful wildlife encounters. The Observation Lounge offers panoramic views, while the Lecture Theater serves as the hub for regional learning. Dining in the main restaurant features international cuisine and attentive service. True Exploration: With an ice-strengthened hull, a fleet of Zodiacs, and a wrap-around outer deck on Deck 6 (ideal for photography), the Discoverer is perfectly equipped to explore remote environments, from the Antarctic Circle to the Chilean Fjords.
