The Ocean Diamond is a modern, stable super-yacht, and one of the largest of our small expedition ships. Carrying a maximum of 189 passengers, and with two stabilizers and an ice-strengthened hull, this outstanding vessel is ideal for polar expeditions.
As one of the fastest ships in Antarctica, it is also one of the most comfortable. There are 101 elegantly designed cabins and suites, all with exterior views, and expansive common spaces, a club lounge, and a spacious restaurant. The ship offers numerous adventure options, plus on-board features such as interactions with photography instructors. After a full day of exploration, passengers can relax, browse books or DVDs in the well-stocked polar library, or enjoy stunning polar scenery from the sun-lit, panoramic observation lounge.

You’ll quickly become familiar with the Lower Deck as that’s the location of the ship’s restaurant, where you’ll not only enjoy incredibly delicious meals three-times daily, but also where you’ll connect and converse with fellow guests and members of the Expedition Team. In addition, the Zodiac Access is also on the Lower Deck—from which you’ll launch (virtually!) your off-ship adventures. Guests can also choose Triple Suites and Single with Porthole on the Lower Deck.
