m\/v Sea Spirit

Like a migratory seabird, m/v Sea Spirit sails the high latitudes on a rhythm of sun and sea, northward in the Arctic summer and southward toward the Antarctic winter, always ready for spontaneous discoveries — from a pod of whales breaching offshore to a family of polar bears on a distant floe or a glaciated mountain vista glow. Launched in 1991 and meticulously upgraded (most recently in 2017) to blend adventure with comfort, she remains highly maneuverable and capable of threading her way through the narrow fjords of East Greenland and slipping into the small bays of Spitsbergen. With 114 guests cared for by a dedicated crew of 72, aboard Sea Spirit you’ll find a friendly, welcoming atmosphere united by the goal of a memorable wilderness experience and true polar exploration. The ship’s 90 meter length, 15 meter beam, and 4200 gross tons give it a stable yet nimble profile across five decks hosting 54 cabins, while bilingual programming in German and English helps guests from diverse backgrounds connect with the voyage. Onboard life centers on enrichment and exploration: daily talks by naturalists, wildlife observation from the observation lounge, and intimate shore excursions led by experienced expedition teams with Zodiac boats for close encounters with ice, seabirds, and marine mammals. With adventurous itineraries that emphasize responsible travel, Sea Spirit invites you to become a genuine polar ambassador as you step ashore, learn, and reflect on the fragile beauty of these polar regions.
