Spirit of Enderby: Ship Details and Overview
The Spirit of Enderby is a pure research vessel and built to withstand the toughest of seas. Sister ship to the Akademik Shokalskiy, Shes decked out with the latest expeditionary equipment and crewed by an extremely knowledgeable Russian crew.
The ship is named in honour of the Enderby brother of London who, during much of the 1800’s, pushed Antarctic exploration further than ever. The ship is also named after Enderby Island, one of the greatest Sub-Antarctic islands on earth.
The ship carries just 50 passengers, allowing a complete focus on shore landings and wildlife watching. She's decked out with a dining room, bar, library, great lecture room, and sauna. Prior to the 2018/19 season, the cabins and public areas aboard the Spirit of Enderby underwent a revamp, giving the ship a nice fresh feel. A new WiFi system was also installed, as was a new sound and visual technology to give passengers the best experience possible.
The Spirit of Enderby is a basic but comfortable Antarctica cruise ship. Perfect for people who want to explore regions few have ever stepped foot in!
