M.S. Endeavor
The M.S. Endeavour is named after one of Captain James Cook's
famed ships, which carried him around the world on his great
voyages of exploration. Unlike its namesake, an informal atmosphere
and many amenities set a pace of comfort and relaxation aboard
today's Endeavour. Some of the amenities include a lounge
with bar and facilities for films, slide shows and lectures,
library, swimming pool and fitness center. Meals are served
with unassigned tables, allowing you to meet staff and fellow
travelers. Cabins are above waterline and face outside with
windows or portholes. Each has private facilities (including
a radio and climate controls). Several cabins include twin
beds, which can convert to a double bed, and some cabins may
accommodate three people. The ship is ice-reinforced, fully
stabilized, complies with international regulations of Safety
of Life at Sea (SOLAS), and operates with the latest satellite
communications.

The
Antarctic Dream has been completely conditioned and
remodeled in 2003
for elegant and comfortable exploration. |
The Antarctic Dream
The Antarctic Dream was built by Dutch shipyards for the
Chilean Navy as an Antarctic passenger ship. It is equipped
with 42 double cabins with capacity of 84 passengers. Uniquely
among all the ships that take expeditions to the Antarctic,
it has a helicopter deck. The turbine helicopter is there
for safety but also to make special expeditions to see
inaccessible locations. Two over-flights are included with
the cruise!
Zodiac boats are also used for expeditions into the ice channels.

 |
| |
All cabins have private
bathroom, port-holes or windows and lower twin or queen
size beds. |
|
The Antarctic Dream
is equipped with state of the art navigation and
has an outstanding
record
of service
and
safety,
including
countless missions and journeys to Antarctica and
Patagonia. It runs using ecological methods, fulfilling
all the Antarctic restrictions on the the deposit of chemicals
and waste.
The 40 crew members on board will see to it that
you have a smooth and comfortable experience on board,
with plenty of time to explore outside of the vessel as well.
