POLAR STAR

The ship is comfortable, but not a luxury liner. Cabins are spacious and the chefs prepare a sumptuous and international variety of dishes for your dining enjoyment. There is also a nice selection of wines to accompany your meals. The ship features a comfortable dining hall, a large panoramic lounge, a lecture room, a library, and a saloon bar.

The cabins are bright and have large picture windows, not portholes, and except for a few triple share cabins have private facilities (Shower/toilets, no bath tubs). All the basic cabins(K3) are twin lower berths, approx. 115 sq. ft., while the mini-suites and suites are, 180 and 250 sq. ft. respectively. Mini-suites have double beds and one suite has a double and the other one has twin beds.

The ship has an ‘open bridge policy’, so passengers are always welcome. The bridge is a great place to learn about the working of an ice-breaker, navigation, and quite often it provides an incredible opportunity for story-telling.

The observation lounge is one of the best viewing areas of any vessel I have sailed on. Large picture windows on three sides, with a large aft deck. All the passengers can gather here for the many lectures, and functions."
