Hondius is the world's first registered Polar Class 6 vessel, meeting the latest and highest Lloyd's Register standards for ice-strengthened cruise ships. Exceeding the requirements of the Polar Code adopted by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), Hondius is the most flexible, advanced and innovative polar cruise ship, thoroughly optimised for expeditions that give you the closest possible contact with the Arctic and Antarctic.

Hondius uses LED lighting, steam heating, biodegradable paints and lubricants, and state-of-the-art energy management systems to minimise fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. This means that when you sail aboard Hondius, you can enjoy the exotic landscapes and wildlife as much as possible, with as little impact as possible.

Comfort and style

M/V Hondius accommodates up to 170 passengers in comfortable staterooms ranging from spacious Grand Suites with balconies to cosy quadruple porthole staterooms designed to suit a variety of preferences. On board, guests have access to a large observation lounge and a dedicated lecture room, perfect for interactive workshops and engaging presentations. With a stylish yet informal mid-century modern décor, the ship offers a warm, relaxed atmosphere ideal for expedition cruising.

Open seating encourages a convivial dining experience, perfect for socialising with fellow travellers after a day of exploration. This makes the dining experience not just about food, but about creating lasting connections in a welcoming environment.
