The Spirit of Enderby is the complete expedition vessel, built in 1984 for polar and oceanographic research.

Refurbished in November 2004 to provide comfortable accommodation for 48 passengers in twin share cabins, approximately half with private facilities and the remainder with shared facilities.

All cabins have outside portholes and ample storage space. On board there is a combined bar/library lounge area and a dedicated lecture room.

International chefs prepare delicious meals and are able to cater for special dietary requirements, dining is informal and relaxed in the two spacious dining rooms. The bar has a fine selection of Australian and New Zealand beers and wines available.

The key to the success of the expeditions are three semi-rigid inflatable Naiads, these extremely safe and stable craft are used for landing and dive support. Two Mustang Hovercrafts are also used on our Antarctic Expeditions to enable access across the ice.
