| ![]() Poseidon Expeditions Renews Charter Contract for Sea SpiritBy: Poseidon Expeditions Nikolay Saveliev, founder and president of Poseidon Expeditions (https://poseidonexpeditions.com/) "With the Sea Spirit, we have a smaller-capacity, premium vessel that's perceived as very desirable compared with most of the newly announced polar-class ships in the range of 200-500 passengers. Those wanting to go to Antarctica or to the Arctic understand the advantages that a smaller vessel can provide – better access to remote areas and landing sites; more 'face time' with the expedition team; and a camaraderie among guests and staff that is more difficult to achieve aboard larger ships," he added. The founder of Poseidon added that plans were still moving forward with a new build, configured for fewer than 150 passengers, but that an official announcement with details was still forthcoming. Like a migrating bird, the Sea Spirit spends her year between the two polar regions, in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean from late October through mid-March and then in the sub-Arctic and Arctic regions of the British Isles, Svalbard, Franz Josef Land and Greenland from mid-May through September.
