Overview

Part of a brand new generation of low-energy small ships, specifically designed for Polar expedition cruising, Ocean Victory is the sister ship to Ocean Albatros. Combining cutting-edge, sustainable design with exceptional stability, efficiency, and superior on-board comfort.

Maximum passengers: 185

Equipped with the highest Polar code 6 and Ice class 1A, the Ocean Victory is perfectly suited for small-ship cruising. Her sturdy construction and innovative X-Bow®-Infinity design (an inverted bow concept) ensure smooth sailing, even in rough weather and choppy waves. Powered by 4 diesel engines and 2 electric engines, Ocean Victory is optimised for speed and fuel efficiency. Plus, her Solas 2012 classification facilitates a safe return to port.

Clive Stacey, Managing Director and Co-founder There's no better way to explore the remote Polar regions than up-close and personal with nature, powering yourself in a kayak.

Cabins & suites

Guest cabins offer exceptional comfort and many feature full length window or private balconies, ideal for keeping an eye out for passing wildlife.

 

Single travellers
Twin share cabins (on a same gender basis) and dedicated solo travel cabins without a single-supplement are available. Sole occupancy of a twin cabin incurs a supplement.

Environmentally Friendly

The X-BOW® also features state-of-the-art virtual anchoring technology, in which GPS and high-tech steering are used to hold position rather than using a traditional anchor. This means that the delicate sea floor remains undisturbed and undamaged. And, with a carbon footprint that’s 50% lower than traditional expedition vessels, Ocean Victory is one of the most environmentally friendly ships on the seas today!

A new Standard

What makes Ocean Victory even more impressive are the two hydraulic observation platforms that fold out for unobstructed views of the incredible polar landscapes. The two sea-level Zodiac launching platforms make it quick and easy to hop ashore, maximizing your time exploring, while a dedicated activity launch platform gives you plenty of space to prepare your gear and equipment.

There are plenty of communal spaces to enjoy. You’ll find three lounges/ bars and two restaurants (including an observation restaurant and lounge), a high-tech lecture theatre, well-stocked library as well as ample outdoor deck space. After a day of exploring, relax and take in the views from the outdoor infinity pool or one of the two outdoor hot tubs! Stay active in the gym and unwind in the panoramic sauna. Perhaps treat yourself to a massage in the spa. Ocean Victory stands out as one of the highest standard, custom built Polar expedition vessels around.
