Polar Pioneer

The reborn Polar Pioneer is one of the only classic expedition vessels of her kind that remain, now with a fresh new look & feel.
Instead of a resource-heavy new build, we’ve chosen to sustainably upcycle this beloved polar vessel that comes with a rich history. We’re keeping as much of her original materials as possible, repurposing and refinishing where we can in order to minimize waste and maintain her unique character.

Moreover, all decisions about new materials brought in to the refit are through the lens of environmental sustainability. From cleaning materials that are biodegradable, to ropes made with recycled plastics, to low-impact staff clothing and an aim to reduce single-use plastics on board to zero, no stone is being left unturned.
