Antarctica21's New State-Of-The-Art Polar Vessel! Magellan Discoverer is set to embark on voyages in the 2026-27 Antarctic season. Magellan Discoverer sails ahead with its cutting-edge hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system and active stabilizers that enable a smoother, quieter journey through the icy wonders. Like Magellan Explorer, Magellan Discoverer meets the stringent PC6 ice class specifications and flaunts a similar boutique, yacht-like aesthetic. For Antarctic air-cruises, Magellan Discoverer welcomes up to 76 guests in 40 cabins across three passenger decks. Magellan Discoverer complies with the stringent Tier III emission standard and champions environmental responsibility with its hybrid diesel-electric propulsion and heat recovery systems. The vessel features a spacious dining area, versatile meeting rooms, a stylish observation lounge and bar, a well-equipped gym, and an inviting gift shop. The accessible bow draws guests closer to the awe-inspiring waters they sail.

Magellan Explorer is a new and modern boutique expedition ship. The vessel is custom-built for Antarctic air-cruises to the latest Polar Code specifications. For air-cruises, Magellan Explorer has a capacity for 76 guests accommodated in seven categories of accommodation, including dedicated single cabins. All cabins except Porthole cabins feature private balconies. All double cabins except two have two twin beds that can be configured as one king-size bed. All cabins feature a wardrobe, individually controlled heating system, a sitting area, and a private bathroom with a shower and heated floors. The ship features a glass-enclosed observation lounge and presentation room with state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment, a spacious and stylish dining room, a well-stocked bar, a library, a meeting room, a gym, a sauna, and a medical clinic. The forward-facing observation deck leads to the ship’s bow, which is accessible to guests to offer proximity to marine wildlife. The Magellan Explorer  has a fleet of 10 Zodiac boats that are well suited for disembarking and wildlife watching.

The expedition ship Ocean Nova is the sister ship to our popular M/S Quest in Svalbard. She was built in Denmark in 1992, and in 2006 she was completely refurbished. She now has a career as a small and comfortable expedition ship. She is one of the smallest ships to explore Antarctica. The Ocean Nova takes up to 78 passengers in twin and triple cabins, all with exterior views and private facilities. In your cabin, you also find a desk with a chair as well as storage space for clothes and equipment.

Ocean Nova provides an experience that is very different from a larger, conventional cruise ship.
