The veteran of Quark's fleet, Ocean Adventurer began life as a Soviet passenger ship and was converted into a dedicated expedition vessel in 1998, most recently refurbished in 2017. Carrying just 128 passengers, this intimate ship offers a classic expedition feel with modern Zodiac landing capabilities — the smallest and most nimble ship in the fleet for accessing tight polar bays and inlets.
