Join the M/V Plancius for a trip of a lifetime aboard an Antarctica cruise. Originally an oceanographic research vessel built in 1976 for the Royal Dutch Navy, she was completely refurbished in 2009 to accommodate 108 passengers for Polar adventure cruises. The 'Ice Class' MV Plancius has 53 en-suite cabins on board, all with lower berths, except the 2 triple and 4 quadruple cabins with bunk beds. There are 5 decks, and social areas include the large observation lounge and bar on Deck 5, the restaurant and lecture room on Deck 3, and large open deck spaces with the possibility to fully walk-around Deck 4 and enjoy the scenery and wildlife views. M/V Plancius is also fitted with a diesel-electric propulsion system to reduce the noise and vibration of the vessel.
