About ARCTIC

Description

Stand by for serious adventure. An ocean salvage tug converted into a unique expedition yacht, the 88-metre (289ft) ARCTIC is exceptionally capable and impressively equipped. Not just for high-latitude exploration as her name suggests – she broke the Guinness World Record for venturing closer to the South Pole than any other vessel has ever been – but also for cruising the tropics and everywhere in between.

Designed to take up to 12 charter guests on the ultimate voyage, her supremely comfortable guest accommodation is arranged over four different levels – all of which are on the main deck or above. The level of service you’d expect to find in a high-end luxury resort is absolutely assured with a crew of 28 and a huge investment in state-of-the-art satellite communication systems ensures that wherever in the world you decide to cruise, you can have excellent Internet connectivity on board at all times.

She has two separate sundecks, one atop her main superstructure and another one aft that also serves as a helipad. Most large yachts have a beach club; ARCTIC goes one better with a beach house, which contains a heated pool for relaxation or scuba dive training. The facilities on board include a dedicated cinema fitted with sensory chairs, a fully equipped gym, a disco and a barbecue area. When you want a dip in the sea, the bathing platform in her stern gives easy, safe and instant access in and out of the water.

All of her seven cabins cabins are remarkably spacious. The impressive master suite has a huge bed, a private lounge, a large separate office and his-and-hers bathrooms, both of which have walk-in wardrobes. On the upper deck are two twin-bed cabins and one double. The main deck has three very large double cabins including a VIP suite with a study desk and two sofas in its separate living room.

She carries an armada of small craft and toys. The inventory includes eight different boats, so there’s an ideal one for every possible function: two ultra-fast 12-metre (42ft) tenders to ferry you from ship to shore, a beautiful classic speedboat, a sport fishing boat, a dive boat, a specialist waterski and wakeboarding boat, an expedition RIB and several crew tenders. There’s also a fleet of nine jet skis plus SeaBobs, diving and snorkelling sets and plenty of fishing gear.

With an incredible cruising range of 17,000 miles, whatever adventure you have in mind ARCTIC can take you there.
