M/S Hebridean Sky

The M/S Hebridean Sky is a small, all-suite expedition vessel. Built in 1992 and refurbished in 2005, several improvements have been made to optimise comfort on board. With an ice-strengthened hull, the Sea Explorer offers an exclusive and stylish base for adventurous exploration in Antarctica.

The ship accommodates a maximum of 71 travellers. Although it does have capacity for more, limiting the numbers further increases the comfort for guests on board. As well as the regular amenities, such as a dining room and library, the ship additionally benefits from a panoramic lounge, a sun deck with Jacuzzi and is also comfortably stocked with a fleet of 10 Zodiac boats, used for exploring Antarctica.
