The Polar Prince maintains a long-established record for breaking out harbours and escorting ships through the ice encountered in the harsh Canadian Arctic environment. The vessel boasts significant strength due to its unique ice breaking bow, heavily reinforced cruiser stern, low intakes and heavy steering and propulsion. Polar Prince serves as a platform for education, conservation, and training
