Join the M/V Plancius for a trip of 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 116 passengers for Polar adventure cruises. The 'Ice Class' MV Plancius has 53 en-suite cabins on board, all with lower berths, with the exception of the 2 triple and 4 quadruple cabins, which have bunk beds. There are 5 decks, and social areas include the large observation lounge and bar located on deck 5, restaurant and lecture room on deck 3, as well as 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.
Antarctica cruises aboard the M/V Plancius run from November to April, range from short 7-day trips to Ascension Island to full 37-day expeditions exploring the Antarctic Peninsular. Activities and highlights on these voyages can include soft climbing mountain ranges, rare photo opportunities, kayaking the shorelines, getting up close with Gentoo & King Penguins, seeing Killer Whales cruise by or watching Leopard Seals hunt.
An Antarctica cruise aboard the M/V Plancius is sure to be a trip of a lifetime. Call us or book online today to reserve your space.
From May - June the m/v Plancius explores the Arctic region.

The base camp tour of the Plancius a true outdoor adventure
It was incredibly beautiful. Camping, mountainiering and kayaking, but also the polar plunge and visiting the islands of Deception and Elephant point - every day was full of beautiful outdoor adventures. You can also spend a lot of time on deck and enjoy the incredible scenery. The ship was great during the Drake Passage, although we had waves of over 4m at times. Adam, Coen, Steffi, Jakub, Elisabeth, Erin, Martin and Valeria were very competent, committed and interested. I learned a lot from the many and various, but also entertaining lectures. The atmosphere was great. Within a very short time, almost all of us were on board like friends. Perhaps also because of the size of the group - 108. Everything was perfect!

- The team of guides. The activities. That you spent so much time in the countryside and on Zodiac cruises.
