The "Little Red Ship": The MV Explorer

Over the past ten years, we have led Antarctic voyages on a dozen ice-rated expedition ships covering the full range of size and styles. In January, 2005, we will operate the ultimate 14-day Antarctic cruise and we thought it best to do so aboard the most accomplished expedition ship in the world, the MV EXPLORER.

To date, She has received more acclaim and achieved more "firsts" than any other Antarctic vessel. She is a purpose built vessel providing the finest combination of adventure, experience and comfort for a small group of passengers.

We hand picked her for this cruise as we did the expedition leaders and lecturer team. Together, we have created an unbeatable combination and it is no wonder National Geographic chose the Spirit of Shackleton Voyage as the best Antarctic trip in the world. We look forward to seeing you onboard. Please give us a call for more details or
