The World Explorer is a 5-star luxury expedition ship purpose-built for exploring the Polar regions in refined style and comfort. All staterooms have balconies, so you will have perfect uninterrupted views of the stunning landscapes and wildlife.
The World Explorer is among the fastest expedition ships in the Polar fleet, it's also one of the finest, featuring six tiers of outstanding accommodation these are triple, infinity suite, veranda suite, superior suite, deluxe suite and owner's suite.
The cabin space is exceptional. Every suite has either a private walk-out or Juliet balcony for direct ocean views. The World Explorer also delivers plenty of public areas to unwind in after a day exploring the great outdoors, including a glass-domed Observation Lounge for quiet contemplation and full skyline views, the Explorer Lounge for a drink and a chat, and the library for more intimate relaxing and reading. Presentations and discussions are facilitated in a dedicated lecture theatre.
Health and wellness facilities feature an outdoor running track, a small gym and a sauna, plus a spa with changing facilities, showers and lockers. For the active adventurers, add-ons include kayaking, camping and stand-up paddleboarding.
The passionate Expedition Team and crew aboard the World Explorer can’t wait to show you around and take you to places most people only dream about. Every day presents a new adventure. An early wake-up call may signal the sighting of nearby whales, while an afternoon Zodiac cruise may present you with the intense blues of passing icebergs. Polar travel is unlike any
Blending high design with total functionality, The World Explorer is all set to be your home away from home on the seas.
Polar Specialist Ben Rowley says; "It’s rare to have an all-balcony ship but World Explorer is one of these. Thanks to hundreds of floor-to-ceiling windows you have a fantastic view of the landscape around you, whether that be in the observation lounge, the dining room or your cabin. I particularly loved the vast area on the top of the ship – a viewing deck doubles up as a running track to keep fit!"
