ABOUT

ARGUS

Welcome aboard the extraordinary Argus — a true icebreaker expedition vessel with a distinguished history, offering intrepid travelers a once-in-a-lifetime journey through the breathtaking Polar regions of Iceland, Greenland, and Antarctica.

Robust in capability yet welcoming in design, Argus is a genuine go-anywhere explorer built for serious adventure. Equipped with a licensed helipad, she opens the door to exclusive Arctic and Antarctic heli-expeditions, allowing guests to venture deeper into some of the planet’s most remote and dramatic landscapes. Cruise through narrow ice fjords, navigate between towering icebergs, and chart a path through sea ice to destinations witnessed by only a privileged few.

Originally commissioned in 1971 as an Inspection Vessel and Lighthouse Tender for the Danish Government, Argus features a meticulously engineered Ice Class 1 Super hull. Her formidable icebreaking capabilities enable her to traverse some of the most demanding Polar waters with confidence and security.

Among her distinctive features is the elevated Ice Watch Tower, offering panoramic views of vast seascapes, drifting ice formations, and untouched wilderness — a spectacular vantage point for wildlife observation and photography. Dedicated ski storage facilities support heli-skiing adventures, while an onboard infirmary and trained medical personnel ensure guest safety and peace of mind throughout every expedition.

Inside, Argus blends expedition heritage with warm comfort. Guest cabins showcase charming retro-wood interiors, generous storage, a desk, television, and a cozy seating corner with table and chair. The elegant Argus Suite offers an elevated experience, featuring a stylish retro ambiance, private lounge area, desk, double bed, and en-suite bathroom.

Purpose-built for exploration yet thoughtfully designed for comfort, Argus delivers an extraordinary polar adventure defined by authenticity, capability, and unforgettable discovery.
