Heritage Adventurer With Road Scholar

The ‘Grande Dame of Expedition Cruising’

The Heritage Adventurer gets its nickname from its rich history and expert design. Originally built in 1991, the vessel was specifically constructed with polar regions in mind, making it suitable for sailing in waters across the world. A maximum of 140 passengers can stay in cabins that each include a private bathroom, a desk, ample storage space and a television. From elegant dining spaces to panoramic observation areas to sauna and gym spaces, exploration meets comfort aboard this ship! 

 

Deck Plans

The Heritage Adventurer has eight decks with features ranging from private cabin spaces to public dining rooms, lounges and amenities.
