Max Passengers: 198
Ship Type: Expedition Cruise Ship
Operated by: Adventure Canada

Ocean Endeavour is the ideal ship for expedition cruising, carrying a maximum of 198 guests. Custom-designed for passengers who want to go in remote areas, it comes equipped with twenty Zodiacs, cutting-edge navigational equipment, various lounges, and an observation room on the upper deck. The Ocean Endeavour is equipped with a 1B ice class, allowing her to travel freely during the summer in the Arctic.

There have been various updates since she was first launched in 1982, including ones in 2010 and 2014. Ocean Endeavour's length of 137 meters (450 feet) provides plenty of room inside and out. A hot tub, sauna, and pool are just some of the amenities you'll find on the various decks. As a result of the roomy interiors, many workshops and presentations can be held at once. Our expeditions are all about connecting with the people we meet along the way. We come together to learn, drink, sing, or tell a story - engaging with one other in the process. There are three great public lounges onboard Ocean Endeavour, perfect for seminars, gatherings, and discussions.

Ocean Endeavour's crew is knowledgeable and courteous. Her minimal draft and mobility allow her to reach remote fiords, bays, and villages. Enjoy a boutique hotel experience while exploring the world's last great frontiers onboard the Ocean Endeavour.

Onboard Amenities

Ocean Endeavour is the only cruise ship that visits Antarctica and places a premium on health and wellness. Onboard amenities include a day spa, yoga studio, swimming pool, hot tub, gym, men's and women's saunas, and a wellness cafe (with juice bar). Passengers can continue the vessel's wellness concept by participating in snowshoeing, stand-up paddle boarding, or kayaking tours (the latter two for an additional fee). 

Onboard, the ship features two lounges (Aurora and Nautilus) in addition to the top-deck Meridian Club. Only the dining room, pool, and the majority of the cabins are accessible via the ship's single elevator, which is located on decks 4, 5, and 6.

The trip was terrific with great planning on your part. Most of the adventures were not mainstream and somewhat off the beaten path which made it especially enjoyable!! We felt taken care of and you all were readily available to respond to questions and issues. I would highly recommend your company and friends have already expressed interest based on our pictures and excitement.
