Rooms

The Hondius offers high-quality accommodation for 170 passengers in:
- six large suites with balcony (27 square metres),
- eight junior suites (19 to 20 square metres),
- eight superior cabins (20 to 21 square metres),
- 11 deluxe double cabins (19 to 21 square metres),

- 27 twin cabins with porthole,
- two triple cabins with porthole,
- four quadruple cabins with porthole, ranging from 12 to 18 square metres

Please note that a small number of cabins may have a partially obstructed view due to window size and the ship's design requirements. For example, some windows may be partially obstructed in their lower half by a walkway. The best views are always to be found out on deck.

Activities offered

Our philosophy is to limit time spent at sea in order to focus on fast, efficient access to activities ashore and close to the shoreline. To give you maximum contact with the nature and wildlife you have travelled so far to see, we operate a robust fleet of rigid-hulled inflatable Zodiac boats, ensuring quick and safe landing operations for passengers. Hondius has two separate gangways and a sheltered indoor Zodiac boarding platform, which can also be used for special outdoor activities such as kayaking.
