Named in honour of the legendary Australian Antarctic explorer, the Douglas Mawson is a new purpose-built expedition vessel perfectly suited for navigating Patagonia’s winding channels and fjords. Equipped with the innovative Ulstein X-BOW® for a smoother ride through choppy waters, expansive panoramic lounges, and dedicated Zodiac platforms.

Why we like this ship

  • The revolutionary X-bow design helps the ship pierce through waves, reducing pitching to help maximise your comfort.
  • A maximum of just 130 passengers on board and a well-stocked fleet of sturdy zodiac ribs ensure you get off the ship as often as possible.
  • 79% of the spacious cabins feature balconies with large floor-to-ceiling glass doors, so Patagonia’s stunning landscapes are always in your line of sight.
  • Thoughtful amenities include a purpose-built lecture theatre and Citizen Science Centre for the ship’s excellent educational programming.
  • Two outdoor Jacuzzis and a sauna are great for relaxation after a busy day out exploring.

We think it's worth noting...

  • The included WIFI can be patchy due to the remote locations visited.
