Ocean Explorer

Ocean Explorer is a modern purpose-built polar expedition vessel.  This elegant 138 passenger ship has been designed with the latest in expedition ship technology.  One notable feature is the ULSTEIN X-BOW®, a marine engineering innovation that ensures a comfortable and smooth sailing experience thanks to the inverted bow.  On the bow you can also find a rather spectacular two-story library, boasting light, space and wonderful opportunities to survey the surrounding landscapes. 

The interior design of the ship was carefully considered by designers, from the vast windows of the library to the grand fixtures and furnishings throughout the ship. All cabins are of bespoke Scandinavian design, most of which boast a veranda.
