The cruise ship is called M/V Clipper Adventurer. The vessel will sail in Greenlandic waters exclusively for Albatros in the summer of 2008. The vessel was built in 1975 and was converted into a fantastic expedition vessel in 1998. The conversion was inspired by the atmosphere and luxury of the great ocean liners of the past combining a unique intimate atmosphere with the luxury of the atlantic voyages of the beginning of the 20th century.

M/V Clipper adventurer is equipped with modern navigational equipment, stabilizers and the vessel is classified A-1 ice-class making the vessel perfect for navigation in Greenlandic waters. A fleet of Zodiac landing craft permits us to land anywhere nature or curiosity dictates.
All cabins are outside cabins, lower beds and all cabins have private facilities (with hairdryer), individual temperature controls and in-room music system. The vessel also offers laundry and pressing service.
The on board concept includes delicious international cuisine often with a Greenlandic touch. Meals are served in the single-seating dining room. Clipper Adventurer also includes a library, an infirmary and a lounge, in which all passengers can enjoy the fabulous, Greenlandic scenery float by. There is no pool or golf lessons, but there is plenty of breathtaking scenery and we provide an appropriate high level of comfort and service — a policy, which is rooted deeply in Albatros’ Polar Cruises concept, and which, we believe, conveys authenticity. Enjoy full board with free tap water, coffee, tea and hot chocolate in the panorama lounge. Other drinks and beverages are not included, but the prices are reasonable according to Greenlandic standards.
The ship has been approved for sailing in ice-filled waters. It has a length of 101,1 metres and is 16,3 metres wide, and the powerful engine will push the ship forward doing 14 knots at regular speed. The ship is fitted with zodiac crafts used for some of the landings.
You will find that Clipper Adventurer is one of the most luxurious and comfortable ships navigating the arctic.
The bridge is open, and the passengers are welcome to visit the bridge and watch the captain and the crewmembers work. Please remember that the bridge is a working area, and always ask permission from the tour guide before visiting the bridge. Be prepared, that the crew might need the bridge to be cleared by heavy sea or at landings.

All your expenses from the bar, telephone, laundry and the like are put on your shipboard account. Prices on board are stated in Danish kroner, while the final bill is converted into American dollars. The day before departure, payments can be made by credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Diners or American Express) or cash. If you wish to pay by credit card, an imprint of your card will be made in advance. Questions concerning the bill can be addressed to the hotel manager.
Gratuities
The customary gratuity to the ship’s service personnel is made at the end of the voyage and divided among the crew.
