Whichever Arctic itinerary you choose, it will surely be a lifetime trip.
Topside, the comfortable M/V Plancius caters to 108 guests in 53 en-suite cabins. All cabins have lower twin or queen berths except for the 2 triple and 4 quadruple cabins, which all have bunks. Spread over 5 decks; there are ample social areas on board. These include the restaurant and lecture room on Deck 3 and the lounge and bar on Deck 5. There are also large open deck areas around the ship, and deck 4 offers full walk-around possibilities allowing you to take advantage of the stunning scenery & wildlife outside. An international crew of 37, including 8 expedition staff, is on hand to help create this trip of a lifetime.
The Plancius expedition ship also offers Polar diving around Spitsbergen and to Scoresby Sund during limited periods each year. Diving is shallow (30 - 60 feet), ranging from shore diving to zodiac dives and wrecks. Divers will dive next to and under ice floes and see interesting marine life, such as lobster, crabs, sea hedgehogs, and kelp walls. The ever-changing spectrum of colors creates a fantastic variety of shades. There is also the chance to dive with sea lions around Spitsbergen. Dives are led by highly qualified dive leaders who are experts in their field and aim to offer 1 - 2 dives per day depending on ice and weather conditions. Divers must be experienced in cold water and dry suit diving and bring their own dive gear.
