Explorer II

Explorer II

Specifically designed for cruising through icy waters, Explorer II is a exploration ship that can accommodate up to 300 guests. But in Antarctica we’ve chosen to limit her complement to a maximum of only 198 guests. The ship is stylish, yet unpretentious. With her gleaming brass, polished wood and works of original art, she’s often likened to a country house hotel, and she brings a rare touch of comfortable, informal refinement to Antarctica travel.
