expedition ship
Polar research vessel
An expedition ship is a vessel designed to reach remote or difficult destinations—polar regions, isolated archipelagos, or other places where standard cruise ships cannot venture.
These ships are smaller and more maneuverable than typical cruise liners, often equipped with reinforced hulls for ice navigation and Zodiac boats for shore landings: The expedition ship carried researchers to Antarctica.
