Stay onboard Sylvia Earle

Named after the great American biologist and conservationist, The Sylvia Earle launches in November 2022 as a carbon-neutral ‘Floating Ambassador for the Planet.’ Each of the vessel’s public decks is named after six pioneering female conservationists – Dr Carden Wallace AM, Joanna Ruxton, Sharon Kwok, Bernadette Demientieff, Dr Asha de Vos and Hanli Prinsloo – along with a deck dedicated to Dr Earle. These scientists are inspiring leaders in their fields and during the voyage, expeditions are encouraged to learn more about their pioneering work. What sets this vessel apart is her genuine dedication to using tourism for good. Everyone should carefully consider any trip to one of the most fragile ecosystems on the planet, and the team behind Sylvia Earle have found a way to make a positive impact.

This 71-cabin purpose-built ship is dedicated to research and knowledge with a fully equipped Citizen Science Centre. The ship features a swimming pool, library, lecture room and wellness centre. The streamlined design cuts through swell with fewer vibrations ensuring a more comfortable crossing of sometimes choppy waters. Activities include scuba diving, photography expeditions, camping and paddle boarding. Almost every cabin features a balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows to take in the beauty of Antarctica in peace and privacy. Budget permitting, we think the Junior Suite or Captain’s Suite categories are among the best cabins available in Antarctica.

This was the best travel company we have every worked with. Every single detail was organised, well thought out. I didn’t have to worry about any transfers, lines, yours, or tickets. They had everything arranged for me and organised on an app. Molly was the best. I highly recommend them especially traveling with three kids across Europe you want to have everything arranged in advance. They even found kid friendly tours which my kids loved! Their itinerary was so detailed and organised it made the traveling easy and so enjoyable.
