Currently in build at the Wight Shipyard in Cowes, Isle of Wight, Project Pelagos is due to be on the water by November 2022, providing 12 berths in a six-cabin configuration. As with all Arksen vessels, the Arksen 85 offers robust build quality, excellent reliability and superb efficiency, combined with comfort, style and safety, as expected from a modern, long-range cruising vessel.

The interior, by Design Unlimited, is designed in line with Arksen’s core values of functionality, beauty and sustainability and offers a calming ambience throughout, focusing on light and airy spaces. The materials have been selected to enhance the experience onboard, while minimising damage to the environment where possible.

The Arksen 85 currently represents the ‘flagship’ vessel within the Arksen Explorer Series, with the Arksen 75 and Arksen 65 making up the ‘Explorer’ fleet. Arksen 85 hull number 3 is scheduled to start construction in late 2021 with delivery possible for summer 2023.
