ALBATROS Expeditions has revealed new features of its Ocean Victory vessel.
The ship is part of a new generation of low-energy ships of the highest Ice Class, 1A, Polar Code 6, being built with Safe Return to Port, dynamic positioning and zero speed stabilisers, as revealed at last month’s keel-laying ceremony in Nantong, China.
Ocean Victory will also feature X-Bow by Ulstein Design & Solutions, enabling a more stable sailing experience.
She will include 93 large cabins, 68 of which have private observation decks, and nine French balconies.
All suites will feature butler service, a minibar, free laundry, pressing, daily cleaning boots, and canapes served in room, a Julius Meinl Espresso machine and higher-quality room amenities.
“The unique Rolls Royce zero speed stabilisers and the patented X-bow will give our passengers a much smoother, stable and comfortable experience, a great feature if you are crossing the notorious Drake Passage,” said Albatros owner Soren Rasmussen.
Other features of Ocean Victory include the Observation specialty restaurant on deck 8, which will offer lava stone cooking, and is able to be accessed infinitely by suite guests.
A polar spa was also announced, including treatments such as a “Midnight Sun Massage”.
Pictured at the ceremony is Albatros Managing Director Gorm Pedersen; Albatros Travel China General Manager Anders Ellemann Kristensen; Albatros Expeditions Sales Director Steven Dobbins, Soren Rasmussen and Albatros International President Hans Langerweij.
