The three-ship line will expand with the Coral Adventurer, a Norwegian-inspired vessel being built by Singapore-listed Vard. The line is boasting it will be "the world's most advanced tropical expedition ship".

Eight new expedition ships are due for launch in 2019 alone, sparking fears from some that expedition destinations may become overcrowded.
