M/V Hodius by Oceanwide Expeditions is a sturdy ice-breaking Antarctic cruise ship that boasts strong eco-credentials, comfortable cabins, and everything you need for an educational as well as exciting voyage to the South Pole. With eco-conscious elements like biodegradable paint, an advanced power management system and even steam heating, M/V Hodius aims to minimize its impact on the delicate Antarctic ecosystem as you explore. Onboard you can enjoy informative lectures in a dedicated lecture hall, drinks at the bar, or simply admire the stunning views from Hodius’s observation lounge and deck. Excursions come aplenty while sailing on M/V Hodius too, with Zodiac boats taking you to see ice bergs, penguin colonies and the wilds of Antarctica up close. Back onboard, the communal areas are spacious and cabins equipped with all the essentials, and with a good crew-to-passenger ratio you’ll be well looked after from the start to finish of your once-in-a-lifetime cruise.




Cabins on M/V Hondius

Experiences at M/V Hondius

As with any Antarctic cruise, the overall experience is all about the incredible landscape and wildlife that surround you throughout, and there are multiple routes to choose from with M/V Hondiu. The ship itself is a stable and solid ice-breaking vessel, meaning more opportunity for smoother sailing in choppy waters—though rough seas are always something to be aware of when sailing to the South Pole. Some of the ship’s highlights include:

Re-enforced hull that’s purpose-built to exceed standards and stability.
See the wonders of the South Pole aboard one of the region’s smaller, more intimate vessels.
Well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable cruise, as well as outdoor excursions and onboard lectures.
Green technology used throughout M/V Hodius, giving greater peace of mind during your cruise.
Amazing opportunities to witness wildlife in the most extreme, isolated environments.
Expert guides offer lectures and information to make every excursion even more exhilarating.
Atelier’s pick

M/V Hondius is an endearing Antarctic cruise vessel, smaller and sturdier than some, and we really value the ships eco-conscious efforts to minimize the environmental impact of each sailing.
