Adventure

Four adventure ships, originally designed and built in Finland for polar and oceanographic research. Small and manoeuvrable, these icestrengthened vessels are capable of venturing into the remote corners of the world many larger ships cannot. Continually refurbished since conversion for passenger use, they carry up to 50 travellers in comfortable twin and triple cabins, some with shared facilities, some with private facilities. All cabins have a window or porthole and each has a writing desk and ample storage space. The atmosphere onboard is relaxed and informal.
