Description

The Sea Spirit is a boutique expedition ship operated by Poseidon Expeditions, designed for authentic expedition-style journeys in the Arctic and Antarctica while offering all comforts aboard. Accommodating just 114 guests in spacious suites, the ship offers maneuverability and the authentic atmosphere of a small vessel without compromising on delivering a premium onboard experience. Smaller passenger capacities mean that all travelers can disembark together at Antarctic and Arctic landing sites, where strict regulations limit visitor numbers, maximizing time ashore to explore.
Purpose-built for polar exploration, the Sea Spirit features an ice-strengthened hull, a fleet of Zodiacs and retractable fin stabilizers for a smoother sailing experience. Refurbished in 2017, the ship offers a welcoming and elegant onboard environment, maintaining the ability to safely navigate icy waters. A focus on excellent cuisine, attentive service from highly trained staff and rigorous environmental standards complete the expedition package, making the Sea Spirit an outstanding choice for clients seeking to explore the world’s most remote destinations.

Aboard the Sea Spirit: A Polar Adventure with Comfort and Heart

Comment

I traveled aboard the Sea Spirit on an Arctic expedition, and it was truly one of the most memorable experiences of my life. The ship is small and elegant, carrying just over 100 passengers, which creates an intimate and relaxed atmosphere, you quickly feel like part of a true team of explorers. My cabin was surprisingly spacious, well-furnished, and very comfortable, with large windows offering views of icebergs and marine wildlife. Each day began with informative briefings from expert naturalists and passionate guides who were always happy to answer questions and share scientific insights. The zodiac excursions were thrilling and well organized, I saw polar bears, whales, and surreal landscapes that felt like another world. On board, the food was excellent and varied, with international dishes served in a cozy dining room. The service was impeccable, attentive yet never intrusive. Even in rough seas, the ride remained smooth thanks to the ship’s modern stabilizers.

Magnifique croisière en Islande

Comment

Sea Spirit est un navire très beau et élégant avec une atmosphère familiale. Excellent service, à la fois dans les restaurants et en cabine. L'itinéraire en Islande est inoubliable. La croisière avec Sea Spirit est un peu chère mais ça vaut vraiment tout le prix payé.
