										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Greg Mortimer, named after our co-founder, utilises some of the latest advancements in naval design &amp; technology to revolutionise the small ship expedition cruising experience. The Ulstein X-Bow® hull makes sailing smoother and faster, and our ship can utilise a virtual anchoring system using GPS and high-tech steering to hold the ship’s position so that sea floor is protected. Shore excursions are also made easier with four sea-level Zodiac-loading platforms, a mudroom and an activity preparation area, designed in close consultation with our world-renowned expedition and activity leaders.</p>
