Passenger safety is of paramount importance, which is why the SH Minerva and Vega Class combine the latest on-board hardware and ergonomically designed expedition areas with cutting edge hull design. It is assigned a Polar Class notation PC5 - the highest classification awarded to an ice-strengthened hull. The PC5 classification is combined with oversized stabilisers which provide excellent motion control ensuring the most comfortable operation on our passage through the polar regions. This means we can transport our guests safely into the remotest areas as the safety, enjoyment and education of our guests is our priority.
