Embark on an unforgettable voyage aboard the Hondius, where your polar adventure is not only filled with numerous amenities and onboard entertainment but also brings you the peace of mind that comes from choosing one of the most environmentally responsible vessels in the polar seas. The Hondius sets the standard for eco-conscious exploration, utilizing cutting-edge technologies such as LED lighting, eco-friendly paints and lubricants, and state-of-the-art power management systems to minimize fuel consumption and reduce CO2 emissions. When you sail on the Hondius, you get to fully immerse yourself in the exotic landscapes and wildlife while leaving a minimal environmental footprint.

The Hondius has 170 spacious and cozy cabins, including six suites with balconies, eight junior suites, eight superior cabins, and various twin cabins. Each cabin has a window, but some may have a partial view. Don’t worry, you can always admire the stunning scenery from the outer deck or the bridge. The Hondius also has a large observation lounge and a lecture room, where you can join workshops, exhibitions, and performances. The Hondius has a mid-century modern style, but it also keeps the Oceanwide’s cozy and informal vibe.

Our commitment is to maximize your time exploring nature and wildlife rather than spending it at sea. To achieve this, we employ a robust fleet of rigid-hull inflatable Zodiac boats, ensuring swift and safe landing operations. The Hondius is equipped with two separate gangways and a sheltered indoor Zodiac boarding area that can also serve as a launch point for special outdoor activities, including kayaking.

The Hondius takes you to the heart of the polar adventure, where you can meet the amazing wildlife and discover the stunning landscapes. The Hondius is a fast and stable vessel that can reach up to 15 knots, allowing you to explore more in less time. The Hondius also has a crew and staff of 70 members who are ready to make your voyage comfortable and enjoyable. They will take care of your needs and entertain you with their expertise and stories.

The Oceanwide experience is more than just a voyage, it’s a community of explorers. Our passengers come from different backgrounds and ages, but they all have one thing in common: a passion for discovering remote regions. They join us from all over the world, creating a diverse and friendly group that shares the adventure. On board, they form bonds and friendships that last a lifetime, as they exchange stories and memories of their polar journey.
