National Geographic Explorer

The world’s ultimate state-of-the-art expedition ship, the National Geographic Explorer is a fully stabilized, ice-class vessel, with an Ice-1A Super on the forward hull, enabling it to navigate polar passages while providing exceptional comfort. It carries kayaks and a fleet of Zodiacs, plus a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) and sophisticated video equipment, extending access to the underwater world.

Her design and equipment is the result of almost 200 years of collective expedition experience and combines the privilege of wildness and the luxury of comfort accommodating 148 guests in 81 cabins, including 13 with private balconies, six spacious suites and even cabins specifically designed for solo travelers. She is spacious and modern, with a variety of public rooms that offer startling views of the passing landscape. Friendly and informal, Explorer instantly fosters a welcoming environment where enthused and curious passengers share in exceptional experiences and enrichment.
