What struck me most about Exploris One is how effortlessly it combines all the benefits of a small ship experience – fewer guests, more time on land and nimbleness – with being well appointed and seriously comfortable. Very few other expedition vessels manage to achieve this balancing act.

Why we like Exploris One

  • Sets a high bar for comfort and capabilities of expedition ships in the Canadian Arctic
  • Provides a small-ship experience with just 120 guests on board yet is very spacious
  • The ideal size for accessing areas larger ships can't and allows more time on land
  • A passionate, highly knowledgeable onboard expedition team – arguably the most experienced in the whole Canadian Arctic
  • The high A1 ice class hull with active stabilisers ensures both the highest levels of safety and comfort while exploring remote and ice-laden areas
  • Comfortable all-suite cabins with a range of choice. Interconnecting cabins for families
