Sylvia Earle

What sets Sylvia Earle apart begins with her Ulstein X-BOW® – a design that cuts through the swell rather than riding over it, creating a smoother, quieter journey with less vibration. It also improves efficiency, supporting a more considered approach to expedition travel without compromising on capability. At the same time, the ship is designed to keep you closely connected to the environment. The Glass Atrium Lounge, set within the bow itself, offers sweeping, front-facing views – a place where you can sit with a coffee and watch the landscape unfold ahead. Open decks and multiple viewing areas make it easy to step outside whenever something catches your eye, while a well-designed activity platform ensures smooth transitions between ship and shore. There’s also a deeper layer to the experience. With a dedicated Citizen Science Centre and a programme that invites you to take part in real-world research, the ship goes beyond observation – offering a chance to engage more meaningfully with the places you visit. Combined with a small number of guests on board, it all adds up to a ship that feels purposeful, capable, and genuinely connected to the world around it.
