The Corinthian II

---

The distinguished 114-guest Corinthian II offers a classic yacht-like atmosphere and fine accommodations. This all-suite mega-yacht, originally built in 1992, was refurbished and redecorated in 2004 and 2005 specifically to create an atmosphere of heightened comfort, with a sense of dignified, easy elegance-all while fostering a sense of convivial intimacy impossible for larger ships plying the Antarctic waters. Corinthian II is ice-strengthened for voyages into Antarctic waters and is equipped with a fleet of Zodiac inflatable craft for forays ashore.


Indulging in Suite Harmony 
All 57 outside-facing suites are generously proportioned at a minimum of 225 square feet. Each is elegantly appointed in rich wood tones, with two twin-sized or one queen-size bed, sitting area, TV, mini-refrigerator, safe, and other amenities, as well as a marble-appointed bathroom with Trussardi toiletries. Several suites include private balconies accessible via sliding-glass doors.

Fine Dining
Superb Continental and internationally accented cuisine is created by the Corinthian II's fine European chefs and served in the stately restaurant. Fine regional wines are complimentary with lunch and dinner. All meals are served at one, unassigned seating, and seating arrangements are flexible, allowing for both large groups and intimate couples seating. Corinthian II is widely praised for the efficiency of its service, which is as swift and unobtrusive as that of the finest restaurants.

Effortless Elegance each Day and Night
Complimentary refreshments will welcome you back to the ship from shore excursions, and prepare you for afternoon tea. Coffee is served throughout the day in the Club, a civilized and comfortable space for relaxation and lectures, with panoramic windows. The Club's cocktail hours are filled with the sounds of conversation drifting over the pianist's witty arrangements of jazz classics. The ship's exceptionally spacious public areas also include a beautiful library stocked with books related to the itinerary and other volumes, a beauty salon, an exercise room, an elevator serving all decks, and a sun deck with jacuzzi that encircles the ship. Corinthian II's 70 European officers and crew (more than one crew member for every two guests), and the friendly, confident, and supremely efficient cruise director and tour manager ensure an atmosphere akin to a convivial private club for the length of your voyage.
