In an earlier life, she towed oil-rigs around the North Sea and was heavy-duty ice-class salvage vessel. She is now one of the most luxurious superyachts afloat. The Arctic has been moored off Puerto Portals for most of the month but today she has moved to the Bay of Pollensa. Originally built in 1969 as a heavy-duty ice-class salvage tug, she was converted in 1994 by legendary Australian media mogul Kerry Packer into one of the world’s first and largest true explorer yachts. Designed to
travel to remote, off-the-beaten-path destinations like Antarctica and Norway, she features a robust ice-class hull and massive transoceanic range. The yacht sleeps up to 12 guests across 7 suites (including a master, four doubles, and two twins) and carries a highly experienced crew of 28 to ensure five-star service. She blends rugged, industrial exterior lines with supreme luxury, offering a state-of-the-art cinema, gym, massage facilities, a beach house swim platform, a heated pool, and a helideck. Arctic holds a Guinness World Record for navigating to
the southernmost point ever reached by a motor yacht
