Dining onboard Sylvia Earle is always a memorable experience. The chefs prepare different menu options and courses each day, as well as tempting afternoon teas. Tea, coffee and snacks are also available 24 hours a day. The ship’s bar and lounge areas are supremely comfortable and uplifting, providing an ideal venue to absorb the passing Arctic vistas and swap tales with fellow adventurers.

AMENITIES

For those longer days at sea, the ship offers plenty of tempting activities. Soak up enchanting views of the waves in total bliss from the comfort of the sauna or jacuzzi, or stay active in the well-equipped gym. Deepening your understanding of your remarkable surroundings is one of the most rewarding aspects of an expedition cruise, so be sure to visit to the lecture theatre for talks on the region’s history, biology and relationship with climate change. Alternatively, head to the science centre for the chance to speak directly with the ship’s naturalists and expedition team.

WHY WE LIKE IT

Sylvia Earle's innovative X-bow design and wealth of carefully curated expeditions really do make for a supremely comfortable and more immersive experience of the Arctic. Additionally, the chance to visit the expedition team in the science centre or snorkel beneath the icy waves presents opportunities rarely seen on other cruise ships. Embrace the Sylvia Earle's relaxed onboard atmosphere, excellent amenities and expect an Arctic cruise to remember.
