An expert team of naturalists, botanists and historians will help interpret the remarkable regions you explore and provide daily lectures in our comfortable Lecture Theatre. When it’s time to unwind, head to the Wellness Centre, where the sauna and dedicated massage room await, visit the well-equipped gym, or soak up the views from one of the two outdoor Jacuzzis.

Your Cabin/Suites
A Boutique Vessel, with an Expedition Soul
Built for the polar regions and refined for the people who explore them, the Discoverer carries just 140 guests, intimate enough for personalized service and flexible shore landings, yet capable enough to push into remote coastlines that larger vessels can’t reach. Every stateroom faces outward, many with private balconies or Juliet balconies, while the wrap-around outer deck on Deck 6 puts you as close to the ice, wildlife, and open horizons as a ship will allow. Back on board, the Discoverer features outdoor Jacuzzis, a panoramic observation lounge, and a wellness suite with gym, sauna, and steam room, offering a level of comfort that feels distinctly boutique, but with an expedition soul at its core.

BEYOND our expectations
We could not believe what we were served. Chef Malcom is a GENIUS!!! Please tell the directors that we do not have words to express how pleased we were. I suppose that we will be recommending you to every friend we know.

Another successful experience
Our experience was unique in that we were able to tour a lot of territory and a variety of places with minimal inconvenience. The fact that our boat was always with us and there were no long bus rides or waits made this mode of travel extremely enjoyable.
