Ortelius

Small-ship polar expeditions to Antarctica and the Arctic built around Zodiac landings and optional active excursions, suited to travelers who prioritize wildlife and landscape over shipboard luxury.

• Very small, informal ships: Plancius carries 108 guests and Hondius 170; the line describes the onboard style as informal rather than luxury.
• Activity-led Basecamp voyages: Basecamp departures include camping, kayaking, snowshoeing and mountaineering, but some activities are capped and need pre-booking.

Worth knowing: Bar drinks, gratuities, flights and laundry cost extra; check each voyage's inclusion list, since activities and Wi-Fi terms differ by departure.

Style notes describe Oceanwide Expeditions in general, not this ship specifically.
