Ship Type: Expedition Cruise Ship
Operated by: Albatros Expeditions

Ocean Albatros, the sister ship to the Ocean Victory, will join Albatros Expeditions' fleet in 2023. The Ocean Albatros is perfect for exploring world-class expedition cruise destinations, including Antarctica and the Arctic, along with many new destinations throughout both polar regions. The ideal vessel for small-ship sailing thanks to her solid build and X-Bow®-Infinity class, which gives superior stability in adverse weather and allows for the smoothest motions on large waves, as well as a Solas 2012 certification that ensures a safe return to port.

The vessel is part of a new breed of low-energy vessels, powered by four diesel engines and two electric motors that are all electronically regulated to maximize speed and fuel efficiency. In addition to being one of the most environmentally friendly expedition ships, the vessel will have a carbon footprint that is more than 50% lower than that of a regular expedition ship.

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.

I spoke with at least a half dozen other travel companies, looking for a Galapagos cruise that fit our schedule and budget. Some companies could manage one or the other, but Erin was the only one who could do both. She found us the perfect cruise, at a fantastic price! And she has been quick and patient with responses to my many questions. So far, Adventure Life has been a fantastic company to work with!
