Initially launched in 1976, the Ocean Adventurer (formerly MS Sea Adventurer) has undergone extensive renovations, including the addition of an observation deck, a forward lounge with panoramic views, and two new engines to reduce fuel use and the ship's overall carbon footprint.
This ice-strengthened polar expedition ship has a maximum capacity of 132 passengers, and the refurbishment has added generators, a motor system, and re-bladed propellers to the vessel. The new-look is genuinely breathtaking - with six new twin cabins and three new suites. Those who love the outdoors will appreciate the refreshed contemporary look of Ocean Adventurer, with its soft furnishings, brand new bathrooms, and reworked lounge common areas and dining room.

Eight cabin categories are available on five of the ship's six decks, ranging from twins and triples to the superior, deluxe, suite, and owner's suite rooms.

Every cabin has climate control, a hairdryer, and bathrobes. All cabins are also equipped with SOLAS life jackets. Housekeeping and laundry services are available.
Dining
There are no assigned seats in Ocean Adventurer's dining area, which has large windows, so you can mingle with other passengers and meet new acquaintances. Tables can seat four to eight people. For a staff ratio in the 80s, the crew provides courteous hospitality throughout the journey. Two bars, one in the dining room and one in the lounge, are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It's possible to enjoy a barbeque buffet outside on the Captain's Deck if the weather permits. While you are onboard, a masterful chef can accommodate whatever dietary restrictions you may have.
Onboard Amenities
The main briefing and lecture area is a theater-style lounge with presentations, videos, and slideshows for education and entertainment. There are booths, swivel chairs, and bar stools. Enjoy a library with literature and games, a small gym, and a medical clinic. Visit the Polar Boutique for souvenirs or relax on the observation decks to see wildlife and the water. Take advantage of the bow's multi-leveled viewing when the captain opens this sometimes-off-limits zone. Through an open bridge policy, you may witness the captain and his crew in action. Binoculars are available for viewing wildlife and landing places. A free internet provides daily schedules and expedition personnel bios.
