Think of this as your intermission from the diary posts, because I appreciate mind-bogglingly natural landscapes and amazing historic sites can get a bit much to take. If you missed PARTS ONE, TWO or THREE, we’ve got you covered.
Instead, let me walk you around our expedition ship for a few minutes.
As mentioned in a previous post, the Greg Mortimer was custom-built in 2019 and was the first passenger ship to feature the revolutionary Ulstein X-BOW®, this allows the ship to cross oceans more comfortably and efficiently.
Accommodating an average of 132 expeditioners per voyage within 76 cosy, comfortable cabins – all cabins have a view of the ocean and 85% of cabins have their own balcony. The ship also features a modern lecture lounge, multiple observation areas, zodiac launching platforms, a restaurant serving excellent meals, a gym and wellness centre, jacuzzis, a mudroom and many other amenities.
The hydraulic viewing platforms/wings are awesome spots to watch the world sail by, particularly if you’re next stop is the sauna.
Tomorrow is the last instalment of our diary and it’s a bumper four-day extravaganza so don’t miss it.
