MAGELLAN EXPLORER
Magellan Explorer
Magellan Explorer entered service in 2020, having been purpose built in Chile for cruising Antarctic waters.
Staterooms and public spaces feature understated elegance bathed in warm natural tones. Guests dine in a single seating, mingle in comfort in the smart lounge and bar, pamper themselves in the sauna and fitness center, or relax in the library, forward observation lounge or spacious staterooms and suites, most with private balconies.
Built to hold 100 guests, air-cruise expeditions limit capacity to just 73 guests to guarantee space aboard the dedicated charter flight between Punta Arenas and King George Island.
