We are convinced that in the field of expedition cruises, the size of the vessel is the key to success. Thus, to best meet the expectations of lovers of nature and its wonders, who wish to combine relaxation with discovery in an intimate and warm atmosphere, we voluntarily limit the capacity of our ships to a maximum of 144 passengers (120 in the polar regions).
This reduced capacity gives us more freedom and flexibility to design our itineraries, in order to maximise the time during our disembarkations, and allow us to access remote areas where larger ships cannot – or must not – operate.
In operation
Flying the French flag, Exploris One was specially designed to sail the most demanding waters of the world, in particular those of the polar regions.
Equipped with a reinforced hull, she is the ideal ship for exploring glacial regions in a completely safe environment: in fact, she is regarded as a global benchmark in this field.
Thanks to her recent renovations (2018 & 2023), Exploris One perfectly combines adventure and an exceptional level of comfort, along with a personalized service of excellence which will make your expeditions unique.
She features 60 cabins and 12 suites, among the most spacious available on board expedition ships . Explorers will also be able to enjoy a fitness and well-being area, panoramic decks and lounges, as well as outdoor jacuzzis for a moment of relaxation with a view between two explorations.
The ship is equipped with twelve Zodiacs© which allow passengers to disembark all together several times a day, depending on the navigation conditions, in areas that are usually inaccessible.
Under development
Exploris is currently developing two future projects.
Designed in the same spirit, our next two vessels will meet some of the most demanding specifications in terms of ecology, performance, safety and comfort.
Like Exploris One, because they are designed for exploration, they will carry a limited number of passengers, so as to favor the quality of the experience, whether on board or during daily disembarkations.
