The polar yacht Explorer was originally built in 1994 as an oceanographic research vessel. It has recently been renovated to reduce its impact on the environment and to completely redesign the interior. The spacious, refurbished polar yacht now offers the most comfortable and refined small ship cruising experience in the Arctic. MV Explorer is served by a crew of 8 people, among them a hotel manager and 2 experienced expeditions guides. With only 12 guests on board it will feel like you are on a private expedition!
Inside, there's a spacious panoramic lounge area with comfortable seating where you can relax and attend our guides' lectures. A gym room, sauna, and jacuzzi are also available for you to unwind after your exciting polar outings.
With an outside lounge-bar on the aft deck and a large observation deck, you will have plenty of opportunites to photograph the incredible scenery while on the ship. Or you can choose to spend some time on the bridge where there is plenty of room for you to scan the horizon looking for wildlife. The ship's 2 zodiacs will bring you ashore for on land exploration at the most remote locations.
