Places to combine Storfjord Hotel with
Antarctica Cruises
Purpose-built for modern exploration, World Voyager is a sleek expedition cruise designed to journey deep into Antarctica in comfort, safety and style. Every detail aboard reflects a profound commitment to discovery and learning.
The cruise accommodates 168 guests across 84 well-appointed cabins, most with walk-out balconies. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer uninterrupted views of drifting icebergs, remote coastlines and wildlife in its natural habitat. At the cruise’s science hub, engage with resident scientists and expedition guides as part of the vessel’s onboard enrichment programme. Beyond exploration, World Voyager is a sanctuary of wellbeing. Unwind in the sauna as snow flurries dance against the glass. Sink into one of two jacuzzis under open skies, or book a treatment at the spa, where L’Occitane products enhance a menu of massages, facials and body therapies. A fully equipped fitness centre and an outdoor running track provide opportunities to stay active amidst the breathtaking surroundings.
The main restaurant serves menus inspired by global cuisine. Breakfasts and lunches are often presented buffet-style, while dinner is plated and served à la carte, with dishes prepared fresh to order. In the evenings, the well-stocked bar becomes a convivial space to share stories with fellow travellers and expedition leaders over carefully selected wines and cocktails.
The auditorium serves as the main venue for expert-led lectures, films and educational briefings. Meanwhile outside, the observation platforms are accessible whenever conditions allow, making it easy to spot whales, seabirds or ice formations with the help of onboard guides.
