Heritage Discoverer
Discover the Heritage Discoverer
Heritage Discoverer is a expedition vessel with a refined but practical style, designed for remote cruising where comfort, flexibility, and access all matter. Recently refurbished, she combines an ice-strengthened hull with welcoming public spaces, including a dining room, outside grill, presentation lounge, bar and lounge, observation lounge, fitness area, outdoor jacuzzis, and open bridge access. The result is a ship that feels comfortable without losing the purposeful rhythm of expedition travel.
Her scale is particularly appealing for guests who want to maximise their time onshore and enjoy a close connection with the expedition team. Zodiacs support landings, coastal cruising, and wildlife viewing, while onboard talks and daily recaps help place each experience in context. Heritage Discoverer will suit active, curious travellers drawn to remote Antarctic and subantarctic regions, especially those who appreciate small-ship camaraderie, natural history, and the feeling of travelling with a vessel built for changing conditions rather than rigid schedules.

Featured Expeditions
Activities
Sea Kayaking
Paddle quietly into sheltered coves and habitats beyond the reach of the Zodiacs, guided by an expert kayak leader. Gliding past kelp forests, rock stacks and resting wildlife, you experience the polar wilderness at its most intimate, the only sounds your paddle and the calls of seabirds overhead. A memorable way to engage directly with this vast wilderness.
Open Bridge Policy
Visit the bridge to watch the captain and officers at work, learn how the ship is navigated through ice and open ocean, and take in some of the finest views aboard. This relaxed access reflects the ship’s personable character and gives curious travellers a genuine sense of life at the helm of an expedition vessel.
Shore Landings & Guided Walks
Step onto beaches, tussock-covered slopes and historic sites accompanied by naturalists, historians and botanists who bring each place to life. Walks range from gentle strolls to longer coastal hikes, letting you set foot among penguin rookeries, seabird colonies and the relics of early explorers. Guests should be reasonably mobile to make the most of time ashore.
Wildlife Watching & Photography
From the open decks and 270-degree observation lounge, scan for penguins, albatross, seals and whales as the ship moves through some of the planet’s richest waters. Expedition days begin early to catch wildlife at its most active and the soft morning light prized by photographers. Expert guides help you spot, identify and understand each encounter.
Zodiac Cruising
Nosing into ice-filled bays and along wildlife-rich coastlines just above the waterline, you feel the cold air, hear calving glaciers and watch penguins and seals at close range, the small ship advantage that large vessels simply cannot offer in these remote, pristine waters.
