Explorer
Luxury A1 ice-class Polar Yacht for refined small-ship cruises
Explorer was originally built as an oceanographic research vessel. The A1 ice-class polar yacht is designed for easy navigation through high seas and pack ice. With a dedicated crew and two experienced guides, Explorer ensures exceptional service.

Why we love Explorer
- Only 12 guests onboard
- A1 ice-class Polar Yacht
- Spacious lounge with large windows
- Luxury bathrooms and modern interior
- Jacuzzi & sauna
Explorer has recently been renovated to reduce its impact on the environment. At the same time, the interior has been completely redesigned, now offering a high-end small ship cruising experience.
The highlight of Explorer is the open-plan lounge and dining area with nearly 360° panoramic views. After a day of exploring, our guides offer an educational lecture programme about wildlife, nature and other interesting topics. But you’re day doesn’t have to end there. Take a moment to unwind while you gaze upon the beautiful landscape from the sauna or jacuzzi on deck.
We believe exploration should be paired with exceptional comfort. On board Explorer, all cabins have been thoughtfully designed and furnished with the essential amenities that will make you feel comfortable during your trip. The upper deck features two Single Cabins and two luxurious Executive Suites with floor-to-ceiling windows and double beds. The lower deck hosts two Superior Suites and three Deluxe Single Suites. All rooms have private bathrooms.
