Ultramarine

M/V Ultramarine is set to be an unrivalled operational base for polar expeditions.  A high-end experience onboard has been combined with high adventure off the ship, facilitated by 2 twin engine helicopters.  With 199 passengers she is fast and strong (1A ice strengthened) and with a 70 day range, is equipped to go anywhere.

A pioneering mix of advanced sustainability features have been incorporated into its futuristic design, reducing its environmental impact to an extent unseen for a polar vessel of its size.

Ultramarine feedback:
The whole experience was fantastic and faultless, the ship exceeded our expectations, the crew (expedition, catering and hotel) couldn’t have been more helpful. We were blessed with perfect weather: sunshine, blue skies, windless and calm seas. 

We saw everything: polar bears, walrus, seals, arctic fox and reindeer, puffins, blue whale, belugas and minke; the viewings enhanced by our specialist guides; and we took the polar plunge.

Thank you and the Aqua-Firma team for your impeccable organisation in enabling us to enjoy this thrice postponed (Covid) once in a lifetime voyage.
