Plancius
Adventure
Built in 1976, the M/V Plancius has a long history as a hydrographic research vessel in the service of the Dutch government. Purchased in 2006 by her current owner, the vessel underwent a total refit and refurbishment to prepare her to carry passengers on polar expeditions. She complies with the latest SOLAS regulations and is classed by Lloyd's Register in London. A maximum of 112 passengers are accommodated in cabins ranging from triple to superior, all with outside view and private facilities. With both bow and stern thrusters, the ship can manoeuvre in and out of the most interesting places safely. The large open deck spaces offer excellent opportunities to watch wildlife, and the two starboard-side gangways guarantee smooth Zodiac operations.
