La Datcha is a 77-metre (253 ft) Damen SeaXplorer built for the edges of the map. Launched in 2020 with an ice-classed hull that complies with the IMO Polar Code, she carries 40 days of autonomy, two commercially registered helicopters for heli-skiing, a certified dive centre with a decompression chamber and a submarine for deep-sea exploration.
Inside, Vasiliy Shprits designed calm spaces of muted tones and natural textures, with observation lounges behind full-height windows for watching wildlife. Two hot-water Jacuzzis, a sauna, a steam bath, a hammam, a massage room and a gym help guests recover after expedition days. Twelve guests share six cabins, including two owner's suites. Beachlanders, expedition RIBs, snow scooters, waverunners and Seabobs are on board as she ranges from Antarctica and the Greenland Sea to South-East Asia and the South Pacific.
