Ushuaia

Boat overview

The M/V Ushuaia is an expedition vessel which operates Antarctic expeditions, cruises along the Atlantic coast of Patagonia, as well as cruises to the remote wildlife- and history-rich Staten Islands.

Originally built for the United States agency NOAA (National Oceanographic & Atmospheric Administration), the Ushuaia has been refurbished to accommodate a maximum of 66 passengers in 33 comfortable twin cabins and suites. The ice-strengthened polar vessel Ushuaia is very well appointed and provides ample deck space and an open bridge policy. The full complement of inflatable landing craft ensures superb landings and wildlife viewing opportunities on the otherwise inaccessible coastline.

All cabins include a desk and ample storage space. Public areas feature a large dining room (one sitting), an observation lounge and bar, a conference room with modern multimedia equipment, a well-stocked library, a changing room and a small infirmary. Our expert captain, officers and crew are highly experienced in Antarctic navigation and have a great love of nature. We provide a specialist team of international expedition leaders and lecturers, all extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, helpful and dedicated to the protection of the environment. Our chefs prepare excellent cuisine including many local specialties and the bar is well stocked with carefully selected wines and spirits.
