Cabins on the Prince Albert ll
This is an expedition ship and therefore should not be compared to the larger luxury cruise ships.  However, as far as an expedition ship goes this is an outstanding ship, I believe the best expedition ship on the market. The ship has great cabins, better than many mass market lines and also comfortable and spacious public rooms. 

Adventurer Class Desk	Adventurer Class Cabin	Portholes have storage area	Desk area

Positives:I would guess they are really in the 175 sq. ft range.  However there is really quite a bit of room in these cabins and they are an excellent value. The desk area is much smaller than in the other cabins, however still large enough for a computer with extra counter space and some drawers, this are also houses the mini bar.  The storage is adequate with double closets and behind the full length mirror on the wall you find a safe and four deep shelves. There is one chair next to the wall across from the desk area.  Deck 3 is the same deck as reception and where you disembark on the zodiacs so that is very handy.

Negatives: These are the smallest cabins on the ship. These are the only cabins with two portholes instead of a window. In bad weather they may need to close these portholes then it becomes an “inside” cabin. This is far more likely to happen in Antarctica than in the Arctic. If there is a bad weather in the Arctic they can slip into a fjord and escape most of the rough water.  These cabins are on deck 3 the lowest deck with cabins and also far forward but there is quite a bit of the ship left in front of the cabins.    

Upgrade Cost: From the Adventurer Class on a 10 day voyage to the Explorer Class approximately $900 more per person

Positives: There are only four of these cabins and these are located on deck 7 along with all the largest suites on the ship. This is the highest deck with cabins.  These cabins have the larger desk area that gives you a lot of counter and storage space and houses your mini bar.  They feel far more spacious cabins than the Adventure Class cabins and still substantially less in price than the view or vista cabins. A good value if you do not want portholes and the risk of having those portholes closed.  These will sell fairly quickly,

Negatives: There is a full length mirror but there is nothing behind that mirror so these cabins lack the extra shelves that both the porthole and view and vista cabins offer. 

Vista & View Cabin	Vista Cabin (larger window)	Vista as twin beds	Vista & View Closets

Positives: The interior of these cabins is identical.  This is the category with the most cabins. These are very inviting cabins with the large desk area with lots of counter space and storage and a mini bar. Across from the desk are two chairs and a table or in the three berth cabins a couch with a hide a bed for triple capacity.   The storage is adequate with double closets and behind the full length mirror on the wall you find a safe and four deep shelves.  The room is well decorated with wood accents and rounded corners on the bed.

Negatives: No negative to these cabins, a good choice unless you want to upgrade to a balcony or a larger suite at a substantial cost..

	Cabins this category and up feature COMPLIMENTARY LAUNDRY
Medallion Class Cabin			Medallion Desk Area

Negatives: Really no negatives to this cabin other than the higher price point.

Desk Area Living Room	Living to Bedroom	Bedroom	Huge Closet

Positives: These are all great cabins and the same in the interior. Only variance is deck location and view window, large window or balcony. These are very spacious suites with tons of storage.  They are actually two standard cabins made into one large cabin.  The living area and bedroom are divided by a sliding door that hooks secure. So you can have this as one big room or pull the door and have two separate rooms. The dressing area and closet is extremely spacious with a full chest of drawers and shelves.  There are two televisions, one in the bedroom and one in the living room. These suites also include complimentary laundry. Also of course the larger marble bathroom.  If you can afford the price I really suggest one of these cabins we recommend this suite.

Negatives: No negatives, just the price but if you can afford the fare these are great cabins. 

Positives: These suites are very large with totally separate living and bedroom areas. Both feature the oversized bathroom described in the bathroom section. The suites have a coffee machine and bar set up. The owners suite has a large verandah and the grand suite is on the front of the ship with great views from the windows.
