With accommodation for up to 88 passengers, the ship also boasts a large dining room, observation lounge and bar, ample deck space, conference room with multi-media equipment, library, infirmary and an open bridge policy. A full complement of zodiacs ensures superb landings and wildlife viewing opportunities on the otherwise inaccessible coastline.
