Peregrine Mariner

The Akademik Sergey Vavilov/Peregrine Voyager is an ice-rated vessel, highly manoeuvrable and very stable that we’re introducing after an extensive refit and refurbishment in May of 2003. She is widely regarded as the best ship in her class operating in Polar waters. The cabins are very comfortable with most including lower berths and private or semiprivate facilities. The ample public spaces are very comfortable and social, and include a library, panoramic bar & lounge, presentation theatre, reading room, sauna, swimming pool and accessible bridge. The dining room seats all passengers in one sitting and is run in a friendly and informal way. The ship, overall, is a truly modern, bright, clean, and very professionally-run Polar expedition ship with an ever-present focus on customer service.

All passenger areas are thoroughly heated and air-conditioned. Cabins are tastefully and pleasantly decorated. The vessel is maintained to the highest standards and is kept immaculately clean.

As the ship was built to perform delicate and sensitive hydroacoustic work, she is also designed to run very quietly. In cabins and public spaces there is very little if any ambient noise from engines or machinery. Further, most passenger cabins (except the Main Deck cabins) are on a separate deck from the well-used public spaces and lounge areas, so noise is seldom a bother.

This vessel has external stabilizers on her hull. She also has a built-in trimming system which is operated by the flow of water ballast from tanks in either side of the ship. A series of valves causes the water to flow to the side where its presence guarantees greatest stability.

All equipment and systems are inspected and tested regularly. A lifeboat briefing and drill will be conducted early in each expedition to ensure that all passengers are familiar with the location of life jackets and lifeboats, and the procedures to be followed in the highly unlikely event of an emergency.
