Orion

 

Vessel for a New Age of Expedition Cruising. The creation of the 106-guest "Orion" heralds a new breed of expedition ship: a state-of-the-art vessel that combines the latest advances in ship design and communication technology with all the style and comfort of a fine cruise ship. From its ice-strengthened hull (rated E3, the highest rating available) to the remote viewing cameras atop its mast, no expense has been spared in Orion's construction  possessing such welcome features as technologically advanced stabilizers, bow and stern thrusters for easy maneuverability, a surround-sound audio system in the lecture hall, and direct Internet access in every cabin.
