Hondius

As the world's first-registered Polar Class 6 passenger vessel, the 170-guest Hondius ranks among the most structurally fortified and technologically advanced polar cruise vessels sailing the seas. Her stabilizers make her highly suitable for swift and safe exploration of Arctic and Antarctic waters, and she carries a fleet of Zodiacs to enable exciting shore excursions. Comfortable accommodations range from quadruple porthole cabins to grand suites with balconies, and lectures and presentations are held in a large observation lounge, as well as an additional lecture room. A crew of 72, including expedition and hotel staff, services the ship and passengers.
