Deck Plan
The Magellan Discoverer is a modern, purpose-built expedition vessel designed for immersive polar exploration with a maximum of just 76 guests. This low guest count allows everyone to disembark at once, ensuring more time ashore and on Zodiac cruises. Every cabin features a private balcony, and public spaces include an observation lounge, panoramic dining room, library, science lab, and wellness areas including a sauna and fitness room.
The ship’s PC6 ice-class rating and hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system ensure safe, quiet, and environmentally responsible navigation through Antarctic waters. Stabilizers provide added comfort during open sea transits, while extensive outdoor deck space offers unparalleled wildlife viewing and photography opportunities.
