At 88 metres (289ft), ARCTIC is the largest explorer yacht available for charter in the world — globally recognised, uniquely capable, and built for limitless world cruising.
Originally launched in 1969 as an ice-class salvage tug, she has been meticulously reimagined into one of the most iconic and capable expedition yachts ever refitted.
