A purpose-built expedition ship offering ample deck space and generously sized cabins, the Ocean Explorer’s innovative design has been meticulously crafted specifically for polar exploration.
Maximum passengers: 138
This elegant vessel features modern design and cutting-edge technology. The X-BOW®, showcases marine engineering ingenuity with its inverted bow design, ensuring a smooth sailing experience even in challenging polar conditions. The vessel is thoughtfully designed to maximize the exploration experience, featuring abundant outdoor viewing areas and multi-height outer decks. These spaces are perfect for capturing stunning photographs and observing the unique wildlife of the polar regions. The inclusion of a fleet of 15 Zodiacs enhances the expedition experience, allowing guests to embark on off-ship adventures swiftly and safely. Beyond its sophisticated design, Ocean Explorer leads the industry in sustainability, featuring fuel-efficient Rolls Royce engines.
If you travel across the infamous Drake Passage, take some ginger tea or ginger biscuits with you to banish nausea. It can also help to lay in a place where you can see the horizon and get air often.
Guest cabins offer exceptional comfort and many feature full length window or private balconies, ideal for keeping an eye out for passing wildlife.
Single travellers
Twin share cabins (on a same gender basis) and dedicated solo travel cabins without a single-supplement are available. Sole occupancy of a twin cabin incurs a supplement.

The X-BOW® also features state-of-the-art virtual anchoring technology, in which GPS and high-tech steering are used to hold position rather than using a traditional anchor. This means that the delicate sea floor remains undisturbed and undamaged. And, with a carbon footprint that’s 50% lower than traditional expedition vessels, Ocean Explorer is one of the most environmentally friendly ships on the seas today!
Spacious cabins feature modern, bespoke Scandinavian design. Almost all offer private balconies, allowing you to completely immerse yourself in the polar landscapes from the comfort of your own room.
There are plenty of onboard amenities; perhaps choose to relax in the traditional wood sauna while gazing out the large windows or unwind in one of the two outdoor Jacuzzis, surrounded by the breathtaking scenery. Off the ship, enjoy opportunities to take part in adventure activities including hiking, kayaking and camping (activities subject to variation by departure).
