Danish expedition tour operator Albatros Travel has for more than 30 years offered expedition cruises on several old ships. Currently, the one older ship in the programme is Ocean Atlantic (1985/12,798gt), but Albatros will not renew the charter for 2022-23, relying on its seasonal charter of Sunstone Ship’s purposebuilt expedition ship Ocean Victory. A second ship in this series of X-Bow vessels, Ocean Albatros, will join the fleet in May 2023.
