When it comes to Polar exploration, it doesn’t get much better than this. The brand-new M/V Hondius, debuting in 2019, is one of the first civilian ships ever to receive a Polar Class 6 notation, making it the strongest vessel to be sailing the Antarctic. As stylish as it is cutting-edge, the Hondius carries 167 guests, and each of its 84 cabins offers superb views of the Antarctic landscape.
