Albatros Expeditions plans a christening ceremony for Ocean Albatros on May 7 in Copenhagen, where the company is based.

The Class 1A/Polar Code 6 vessel with its distinctive X-BOW by Ulstein Design is the sixth and latest in the Infinity series built in China by Sunstone Maritime Group. Ocean Albatros began sailing for Albatros Expeditions last summer in the Arctic.

The company also operates Ocean Victory, part of the Infinity series, during the Antarctica season.

Founder's pride

'Since 1986, with the establishment of Albatros Travel Group, our goal has been to create life-changing memories for our guests. With these modern, eco-conscious vessels, we are able to offer small-ship expeditions inspired by our Nordic heritage that are truly once-in-a-lifetime journeys,' said Søren Rasmussen, founder and chairman of Albatros Expeditions.

'While we usually only traverse between Antarctica and the Arctic, we are looking forward to welcoming the Ocean Albatros to our hometown and celebrating with our family, friends and partners,' he continued.
