SunStone Maritime Group has announced a long-term summer charter of its Infinity vessel, Ocean Victory, with a new client. From April 2025, the Ocean Victory will sail in the Mediterranean during northern hemisphere summer seasons for new Spanish luxury cruise operator, Alma Cruceros.

Polar expedition specialist, Albatros Expeditions, achieved a historic milestone with both of its cutting-edge vessels, Ocean Victory and the Ocean Albatros, meeting for the first time at 65.067°S 64.027°W in the fabeld Lemaire Channel in Antarctica on the morning of 11 December.

Albatros Expeditions has confirmed the return of former Chief Executive Officer, Hans Lagerweij, to the polar expedition specialist’s top ranks. Lagerweij exited the cruise operator in early 2022 to take on a new opportunity at Four Seasons Yachts as Senior Vice President with the start-up. The cruise line operates the Ulstein X-Bow hulled Ocean Victory and Ocean Albatros ships.

Albatros Expeditions has welcomed the arrival and takeover of its newest vessel, Ocean Albatros, in Tromsø, Norway. The state-of-the-art ship arrived for the 2023 Arctic season, where it will depart on voyages to destinations of Svalbard, Iceland, and Greenland.

Albatros Expeditions has appointed Captain Michael Elwert as its new President and Chief Executive Officer. Elwert was confirmed to the top role this week, but it’s understood he has been with the polar expedition specialist for the past six months.

Recent hull issues and a less than ideal condition of Ocean Atlantic has seen Albatros Expeditions terminate the charter arrangement of the vessel for the remainder of its Arctic season.
