Hondius

The world’s first registered Polar Class 6 cruise ship, Hondius is among the most advanced and innovative vessels operating in the polar regions. Purpose-built for expeditionary navigations throughout the Arctic and Antarctica, it exceeds all the green requirements of the Polar Code and meets and highest Lloyd’s Register standards for ice-strengthening.

A memorable ship with cosy and colourful cabins, Hondius feels like a floating home – packed with facilities and on-board entertainment, it offers a bar, lecture room and observation lounge. One of the most environmentally conscious vessels sailing on the polar seas, it utilises steam heating, bio-degradable paints and a state-of-the-art power management system that minimises fuel consumption and CO2 levels. Their tough fleet of rigid-hull inflatable zodiac boats guarantees swift landing operations that maximise your time spent out in nature, and the vessel carries its own kayaks.
