Wildlife Watching
On all our ships, there are abundant opportunities to observe avian species, witness wildlife in action, or simply savor the untamed beauty of the landscapes.
Multiple viewpoints around the ship
As you explore our ships you will find indoor lounge areas with floor-to ceiling windows and panoramic views, and multiple open decks with expansive 270-360 degree views. There is no shortage of spaces to take in the majesty of the incredible world outside!
Vantage Explorations also has an open bridge policy,* which means you can head up to the bridge at most times throughout your voyage. Get a captain’s-eye view of the vessel and take a look at the futuristic navigational equipment, gaining an insight into the inner workings of our ships.
*The bridge may be closed at times, for safety reasons, and is open at the captain’s discretion.
Hydraulic viewing platforms
In addition to on board observation areas, the Greg Mortimer features two unique hydraulic viewing platforms, which fold out for unobstructed views of passing marine life and seabirds. These platforms are used during gentle ship cruising when weather conditions allow and when the ship.
