It’s worth noting that the yacht manufacturer’s and classification societies may still be using their own Ice Class classifications, and is something to watch out for when considering an expedition yacht for sale or charter.
For any further information on expeditions yachts for charter or sale, classification societies or yachts charter to Antarctica or the Arctic Circle, speak to your yacht broker specialists at SWM Yachts.

SeaXplorer 65 will be the first of the three proposed polar-class range of expedition yachts designed by Damen Shipyards. The yacht, along with the other two variants, SeaXplorer 90 and SeaXplorer 100, was launched at the Monaco Yacht Show, held in Monaco in September 2015.
Balancing the arguments for ballast water treatment testing, recommended buyers guides.
Marine oil: marine gear, engine and motor oil companies .
The vessel will be the first purpose-built expedition yacht compliant with the new Polar Code standards, and will be capable of operating in extreme polar and tropical environments.
Damen has partnered with Eyos Expeditions, who not only contributed to the operational design of the yacht, but will also plan the expeditions on the yacht. Dutch yacht builder Amels will be responsible for sales and marketing of the expeditions.
The super yacht will reach even the most remote destinations, and will provide up to 40 days of luxury service to all passengers without a port of call. It is scheduled to be launched for service in 2017.
SeaXplorer 65 is based on Damen’s patented Sea Axe hull design. Designed for both ice and seaway, the vessel features a polar-class double-acting hull, and uses its stern instead of bow to break through the ice.
The hull design enables the yacht to effortlessly cut through the waves, providing minimal discomfort to passengers.
The yacht’s icebreaking performance was tested at the Hamburg Ship Model basin, where the optimised stern was tested for breaking through roughly 1m-thick first-year ice.
Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection, a subsidiary of The Travel Corporation (TTC) launched its new cruise ship SS Maria Theresa, which was named after the Habsburg dynasty’s only female ruler Maria Theresa.
The ship is designed as per the International Maritime Organization’s (IMOs) polar-code standards, which from 2017 mandates that all yachts intending to explore polar regions obtain a Polar Code certificate, which would be recognised through touch IACS polar-class design and construction requirements.
According to Polar Code standards, the yacht is of Category B/first year ice to 70cm and classified by Lloyd’s register as Polar Class 6. The national authorities classified it as a Large Yacht code 3.
The SeaXplorer 65 has an overall length of 65m, moulded beam of 14m and draught of 4m, and weighs approximately 2,000 gross tonnage. It will accommodate 12 guests and 20 crew / expedition staff.
The exterior design for the vessel was provided by Azure Yacht Design and Naval Architecture. Passengers will have the option to choose a leading designers work for the interior of their accommodation.
The super yacht will comprise four decks, a lower deck, main deck, upper deck and bridge deck, plus a sun deck, which will offer a 360° panoramic view.
The lower deck will feature crew cabins, a crew lounge and mess, an engine room, fuel storage tanks, a laundry and a store for provisions, expedition gear and waste management. The main deck will feature a main galley, crew cabins, guest gym, dive store with recompression chamber, guest boarding gates, spa area, and a toy store.
The upper deck will house the owner’s area, with five guest suites, a central guest staircase, an observation lounge, outside observation deck, and a swimming pool with jet pump. It will also feature a certified helicopter deck, which can handle a helicopter with of maximum take-off weight of 4.5t, D value of 13.5m, and a helicopter lift of 12m length.
The bridge deck will feature the captain’s cabin, a large wheel house, a state-of-the-art navigation console, the whale watch guest deck, extended and enclosed bridge wings, the main salon, and the dining area.
The SeaXplorer 65 will feature a dive centre, which will include dive equipment, a wetsuit drying room, blending mixed gas facilities, and the optional added safety of a recompression chamber.
The luxury decks will provide sun beds and loungers, a swimming pool with underwater lighting, and the Sun Deck Jacuzzi. The lower deck will feature a wellness centre with a hamam, steam room, sauna with rain shower, and fully-equipped gym.
The crow’s nest is 20m above the water level, approximately the height of a seven-storey building, and will offer luxurious panoramic views.
The engine selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems will be compliant with the new IMO Tier 3 rules. The yacht will cruise at a speed of 15kt, and will have a propulsion power of 3,500kW.
The super yacht will sail for long periods in zero-discharge mode, and will be equipped with exhaust gas soot filters to reduce environmental impact.
Waste heat will be recovered for efficient air-conditioning, heating, potable water, and pool heating. Waste will be properly managed with large holding tanks, plastics disposal, refuse separation, a glass crusher, a compactor, a cooled garbage store, and an onboard incinerator. The fuel storage tanks will be double-skinned as a precautionary measure to avoid spills.

Alexis is a 384-foot, nine-deck Explorer Yacht Concept from Steve Kozloff, founder and designer of the Goliath Series of polar-class expedition yachts.
If an owner is traveling to northern latitudes, the designer says the full-displacement yacht will have an ice-class steel hull, aluminum superstructure as well heated handrails and doors to mitigate ice buildup.
Standard engines will be four 16-cylinder, Cummins QSK60-M diesel-electric powerplants for 8,000 total hp. For perspective, each engine weighs about 19,300 pounds. That’s big iron. The motors will be matched to four azipods.
Alexis is expected to cruise at 10 knots with a 14.2-knot top-end. The designer says the yacht will have globe-girdling range: 22,000 nautical miles at 10 knots. It’s a trip that requires some serious fuel and Alexis will reportedly hold 432,000 gallons or 1,728 tons of diesel.
For the owner that likes to fly, the yacht is designed with 3,000 square feet of hangar space, which the designer says should accommodate four small helicopters or three medium helicopters. Her garage can reportedly accommodate, not one, but two submarines, several tenders and other assorted water toys.
The superyacht’s design includes a master suite aft with a private pool. The pool will have a retractable cover. A second pool for guests, located on the foredeck, will also have a retractable cover.
The builder says the explorer-style superyacht will have three master suites, plus seven twin guest staterooms with accommodations for 20 guests for extended voyaging.
Stay tuned for more on this yacht’s development.

“Nansen Explorer can go to places others can’t. She has a combination of a strong ice class and a large commercially certified heli deck that can accommodate an expedition helicopter (and will soon support two!). Together, these open up new destinations and opportunities for us, like early spring heli skiing in Greenland. Nansen is a perfect cross between a rugged commercial ship and a yacht. She has the power and grit of a ship accustomed to working deep into the ice, and a bridge team deeply experienced in polar operations. Yet with only 12 guests onboard, she offers the intimacy and personalized nature that you’d find on yachts. Most importantly, Nansen Explorer has a real soul– from working scientific missions to heli-ski trips in Greenland to Antarctic charters, the ship has a purpose and mission. There is really nothing out there quite like her, with this unique mix of capabilities (ice, helicopter, etc.) and service. Joining Nansen Explorer brings you on more than just a yacht charter- she brings you on a true adventure.” – Ben Lyons, EYOS CEO
“Nansen Explorer is the perfect launchpad for polar adventures. Strong, stable, adaptable, and capable she is perfectly at home in any high-latitude environment. This is where adventures are made, memories are created and enduring friendships are forged. Every voyage creates a unique story, one that can only be told by those privileged to be in that moment.“ Rob McCallum, EYOS Co-founder
“Whether chartered as a support vessel or sailing solo on expedition, Nansen Explorer is an absolute dream for polar region operations. Spending days traveling through sea ice in search of polar bears or emperor penguins is no easy feat; Nansen Explorer does it with style. While her rugged exterior blends well with the remote environments she is often found in, her interior warmth and level of service easily exude a laid-back home-away-from-home vibe. There’s nothing quite like strolling around the lounge in your slippers, spiked hot chocolate in hand, watching the polar landscape go by. For those who like to take polar exploration to the next level: zodiacs, kayaks, a helicopter, and your expedition team await.” – Moira Le Patourel, EYOS Expedition Leader
Nansen Explorer is a brilliant platform for exploration and adventure. Fun is at her core and the onboard team’s experience and passion for discovery ensure each expedition is unforgettable. Whether heli skiing in Greenland, diving below the surface in Antarctica or spotting Polar Bears in Arctic Svalbard, the vessel provides a platform for endless experience. – Tamsin Vaughan, EYOS Client Director

The Goliath Series releases another Steve Kozloff expedition yacht design concept - The 53 meter G10 polar class expedition yacht.
Designed to accommodate 14 guests for extended periods of time in the remotest locations on earth, the G10 medium sized explorer yacht is a purpose-built steel hulled motor yacht with an ice class hull (PC2). Her steel hull has the strength to endure the intensity of driving through moderate multi-year ice conditions. Undoubtedly, making her one of the most formidable yachts of her size.
With the advent of hand-held remote controls, azipods, and bow thrusters, the G10
is designed for minimal crew for a more private cruising experience offering an extreme range of 22,000nm, equating to a 90-day endurance at 10kts.
The water ballast system can adjust the draft from 15 ft. to as little as 10 ft., enabling the G10 to operate closer to shore. A generous 30 ft. of freeboard at the bow offers a drier on-deck experience in heavy seas.
The 3,462 sq. ft. aircraft hangar can accommodate four small or three medium helicopters. A hangar is a necessity in long-term harsh condition voyages, and a very
useful feature for visiting guests with helicopter. The large flight deck makes air operations possible in harsher conditions. The four externally stored free fall life boats can accommodate the entire crew and guests.

THE MOST EXPENSIVE YACHTS OWNED BY SPORTS STARS REVEALED
AN INTIMATE SUBMERSIBLE DESIGNED FOR COUPLES
THE FUTURE OF YACHTING: A CLOSER LOOK AT THE 80 SUNREEF POWER ECO
Breaking news, inside the superyacht for history buffs with nearly $1 billion to burn.
It’s for the ultimate seafaring sports fan — and history buff.
A lavish superyacht designed to resemble a centuries-old galleon — and featuring full-sized basketball, tennis and handball courts — is being pitched by a California ship designer.
Steve Kozloff’s The Galleon involves eight decks boasting hoards of extravagant goodies that can be custom-arranged for buyers — who are wealthy enough to foot its roughly $750 million price tag.
The striking nearly 525-foot luxury ship, complete with four massive sails, could hold up to 200 guests and 150 crewmembers, Kozloff said.
“I liked the style of the Old World galleons, especially the glass work at the stern,’’ the ship designer told The Post on Tuesday. “I wanted to imitate that feature.
“Plus, I want to encourage the cruise industry to be more green,’’ he said of the yacht, which would have a hybrid diesel-electric engine in addition to its sails.
The ship’s planned features include the sports facilities, plus a pair of swimming pools and two “lazy rivers.”
It also includes a helipad and 4,500-square-foot hanger for high-flying guests, not to mention room for six speedboats, four submarines and other smaller watercraft.
Additional onboard entertainment could be found at the ship’s cafe, bar and restaurant.
Kozloff said the price depends on how far buyers want to plunk down on the yacht’s interior furnishings, adding that it would take about $750 million for it to be “properly outfitted.” He said the masts alone cost around $140 million.
The Galleon is considered an “explorer’’ yacht, meaning it could cruise the world at more than 20 mph with a steel hull able to cut through ice floes.
Its length is 70 feet less than the world’s longest yacht, the Azzam, which is reportedly owned by royals from the United Arab Emirates.

Careful, it’s cold outside.
These days, very few TV shows qualify as genuine cult hits, but Season 1 of The Terror fits the bill. For most potential viewers, a drama about 19th-century polar explorers dying of scurvy doesn’t sound like a hot ticket, but for the discerning few, The Terror ’s appeal is all too obvious. First airing on AMC in 2018, it’s a supernatural retelling of Sir John Franklin’s doomed expedition into the Canadian Arctic, blending gritty historical drama with survival horror . And now that it’s on Netflix, a new group of morbid weirdos will get to discover this masterpiece for themselves.
Long before AMC’s dramatization, Franklin’s lost expedition was already a point of fascination among history buffs: a disastrous colonial venture that perished due to a combination of hubris, bad luck, and terrifyingly inhospitable circumstances. Setting out in 1845, Franklin led the Erebus and the Terror from England toward the Arctic Circle, carrying 129 men and a regrettably inadequate range of supplies. Both ships became trapped in ice, and after 19 months with no sign of warmer weather, the crew decided to continue on foot. Several men were already dead, and supplies were dwindling. Over the next year, the rest of the crew was lost from disease, exposure, and starvation.
With a wealth of historical material to work from, writer Dan Simmons fictionalized this tale in his novel The Terror , adding a supernatural monster to the expedition’s plethora of real-life horrors. The resulting TV adaptation is uniquely compelling, balancing the seafaring authenticity of Master and Commander with the visceral dread of HBO’s Chernobyl, another drama that makes the most of Jared Harris, who stars here as Captain Francis Crozier, Franklin’s second-in-command.
Right from the start, The Terror sets up a taut psychodrama rooted in Victorian class divides and logistical arguments. We support Crozier as the sensible but uncharismatic voice of reason, a seasoned explorer who tries to warn Franklin of the coming danger. By contrast, Franklin (Ciarán Hinds) is driven by clueless optimism and religious faith, piling bad decision onto bad decision as he leads his crew to their demise.
Between these diametrically opposed leaders is the frivolous young Commander James Fitzjames (Tobias Menzies), while below decks, the supporting cast is populated by lesser-known but equally impactful character actors, including a breakout role for Adam Nagaitis as a sadistic and manipulative sailor named Cornelius Hickey. As the ships freeze and men begin to perish — some from natural causes, others by attacks from a mysterious creature — this claustrophobic setting becomes a pressure cooker for paranoia, infighting, and betrayal.
Don’t get too attached to our heroes.
The lost Franklin expedition was long seen as a great unsolved mystery. The missing explorers sparked feverish public interest in the 19th century, and inspired multiple search parties. None succeeded, although some discovered scraps of evidence that pointed to an ominous conclusion. Only in recent years have historians and archaeologists pieced together a more comprehensive timeline. Franklin’s mismanagement was compounded by unusually harsh weather conditions, and there’s evidence that the crew resorted to cannibalism.
By the 1850s, Indigenous sources had already shared testimony about starving men who almost certainly came from the Franklin expedition, but such tales didn’t match the heroic image the British public envisioned. The Terror acknowledges this bias by emphasizing Franklin’s flaws, and by incorporating indigenous characters. Greenlandic actress Nive Nielsen plays a Netsilik woman who introduces Franklin’s men to the show’s supernatural antagonist, while her role plays into a nuanced depiction of the expedition’s sociopolitical background, touching our heroes’ biases and failings even as we sympathize with their tragic demise.
With its grimy historical production values and heavyweight cast, The Terror holds its own against higher-profile prestige dramas of the 2010s. Yet it’s still rooted in the horror genre, charting a grueling, gory descent into suffering and despair. Even without the presence of a man-eating monster, the crew’s situation is deeply disturbing, bringing historical depth to the bleak appeal of polar horror movies like The Thing or 30 Days of Night .
In the years since its premiere on AMC, The Terror has found a devoted and emphatically nerdy fanbase. The crowning glory of this community is Terror Camp , an annual academic convention where experts present lectures and workshops on polar history. Expanding through word of mouth, it’s very much a cult phenomenon. That’s a fitting tribute to a show with such compelling but niche appeal.
The Terror is streaming on Netflix.
