THE GREG MORTIMER

The Greg Mortimeris a groundbreaking expedition vessel designed specifically for polar exploration. Launched in 2019, it was the first passenger ship to feature the revolutionary X-Bow®hull design, which enhances stability, reduces fuel consumption, and ensures smoother sailing across the often turbulent Drake Passage. Purpose-built for the icy waters of Antarctica, the ship is equipped with advanced navigation and safety systems, offering travellers peace of mind as they journey to the ends of the Earth.

Accommodating up to 130 guests per voyage, the Greg Mortimer offers 76 comfortable staterooms, all with ocean views—85% of which include a private balcony. As the first of its kind, the Greg Mortimer set a new benchmark for expedition cruising and laid the foundation for its sister ships, the Sylvia Earle and the Douglas Mawson. Guests can enjoy floor-to-ceiling windows, multiple observation decks, and hydraulic viewing platforms that extend over the side of the ship for unbeatable perspectives of glaciers, icebergs, and wildlife. Its fleet of Zodiacs allows for quick embarkations, maximizing time spent exploring the Antarctic Peninsula and surrounding islands.

Onboard, travellers can relax in stylish staterooms—most with private balconies—or unwind in the wellness center, sauna, and hot tubs after a day of adventure. Enrichment continues with expert lectures in the theater, covering Antarctic wildlife, history, and geology. Combining cutting-edge engineering with passenger comfort, the Greg Mortimer delivers a world-class experience for those seeking the ultimate Antarctic journey.
