Antarctica21: Magellan Explorer

The Magellan Explorer is an expedition vessel custom built for Antarctic cruises. For Antartica21’s air-cruises, the Magellan Explorer has capacity for 76 passengers, but for maximum comfort only 39 cabins are occupied. There are seven categories of accommodation, all with individually controlled heating systems, a sitting area, and a private bathroom with shower, and all categories except Porthole cabins have private balconies. Elegant modern interiors are the work of a renowned interior design studio based in Santiago.

The ship features a glass-enclosed observation lounge and presentation room with state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment, a spacious and stylish dining room, a well-stocked bar, a library, a meeting room, a gym, a sauna, and a medical clinic. The forward-facing observation deck leads to the bow of the ship, a great place from which to spot marine wildlife. The ship has a fleet of 10 Zodiac boats that are well suited for disembarking and wildlife watching in small guided groups.

You could also sail on the Explorer’s sister ship the Magellan Discoverer. South America’s first hybrid-electric polar cruise ship, its cutting-edge design blends state-of-the-art, eco-conscious engineering with the luxurious and personal atmosphere of a boutique expedition ship.
