Ocean Victory

Max Passengers: 174
Ship Type: Expedition Cruise Ship
Operated By: Albatros Expeditions

Ocean Victory, the next-generation expedition ship, is one of the most up-to-date small ships, making it suitable for small ship cruises. Its inaugural voyage took place in November 2021.

When it comes to small-ship cruising, Ocean Victory is an excellent choice thanks to its X-Bow®-Infinity class and Polar Class 6, which ensures maximum stability in rough weather and allows for the smoothest movements on high waves, as well as a Solas 2012 classification that makes it easier to return to port safely. With four diesel engines and two electric engines, the vessel is part of a new breed of low-energy boats that is electronically controlled to maximize speed and fuel usage.
