Swoop says
The first of this new generation of X-bow ships to arrive in the Arctic, make no mistake this is a groundbreaking ship setting the pace in the smaller ship category.
Alex Mudd Head of Swoop Arctic
Why we like this ship
- The X-Bow design isn’t only eye-catching, it also means a smoother ride and a lower carbon footprint
- Average capacity of 130 passengers is small for a new ship and a highly experienced expedition team of 15-18 people will deliver a highly personalised experience for all on board
- A great range of cabin categories, 80% of which have balconies
- Small number of passengers and multiple zodiac loading bays means a great chance of spontaneity and faster zodiac logistics
- Optional kayaking is always popular, while this is one of only a few ships to also offer scuba diving, polar snorkelling, SUP and rock climbing on selected voyages
We think it's worth noting
- While a great feature, the ship's flip down hydraulic viewing bow platforms are rarely used in Antarctica
