Minerva
Minerva (formerly called Explorer II) combines the grace of a country hotel with the strength of an explorer vessel to provide passengers with a comfortable expedition in the remote seas of Antarctica. A journey on the Minerva will take you on an adventure that few other cruise passengers will get to experience. You'll never forget your first circumnavigation of a 100-foot-high aquamarine-tinted iceberg, followed by the placid gazes of the dozen sleek seals camped out on its slopes. The journey is a fresh and exciting alternative to the traditional ocean cruise, offering unparalleled views of the Antarctic seascape. The accommodation aboard the ship is amongst the most spacious and comfortable available on any Antarctic cruise; all rooms have outside views, private bathrooms, satellite television service, telephone and individual climate controls.
