Ocean Albatros — Purpose-built for polar exploration, The Ocean Albatros was designed with one goal in mind: to keep the awe-inspiring landscapes of Antarctica front and center from dawn to dusk. Every stateroom features generous ocean views, with most offering private balconies for uninterrupted scenery. Guests can also enjoy multiple indoor observation areas, outdoor viewing decks, and two hydraulic platforms that lower close to the water’s surface—perfect for rare photography and wildlife encounters. Even the two outdoor Jacuzzis provide panoramic, 360-degree views of the pristine polar wilderness.
Cabin Specifications
Each stateroom aboard The Ocean Albatros is thoughtfully designed to combine comfort, functionality, and elegance. Spacious layouts, large picture windows or private balconies, and modern furnishings create a serene retreat after a day of exploration.
