G Adventures introducing new expedition ship
G Adventures is introducing a new expedition vessel for the upcoming Antarctica season.
The new vessel, currently named Ocean Adventurer, will replace G Adventures’ ‘Expedition’, and will accommodate 128 guests.
The ship has been chartered through Danish maritime company SunStone, and will take on the Expedition name in tribute to G Adventures’ much-loved “little red ship”.
It will embark on its first G Adventures departure to Antarctica in October 2025.
“The Expedition has operated over 270 departures, taking over 30,000 travellers to some of the most remote regions of the world,” said G Adventures founder, Bruce Poon Tip.
“When the opportunity for this new ship presented itself, we knew we had to take it. The new fuel-efficient vessel will see the overall carbon footprint per person per day drop by up to 30%.”
The new ship features a restaurant and bar, a large 170sqm presentation lounge, a library, fitness area, observation and sun deck and outdoor Jacuzzis.
The 70 cabins will provide G Adventures’ most modern accommodation options to date, with each featuring either an ocean-facing porthole or window and ensuite bathrooms.
Suites will include a double bed and larger sea-view windows.
The ship will be equipped with 11 zodiacs hosting two daily excursions with all travellers having the opportunity to leave the ship at each stop.
In addition, a team of at least 14 expedition experts will be on board, specialising in marine biology to ornithology.
The new ship is built with an Ice Class 1A for reinforced safety and maneuverability.
The new expedition ship will operate five Antarctica itineraries, including:
Antarctica Classic – 11 days, starting from £6,899 per person
Spirit of Shackleton – 21 days, starting from £16,399 per person
Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctica – 22 days, starting from £11,899 per person
