Ocean Explorer

Our Polartours team is very proud to introduce the wonderful Ocean Explorer, the latest addition to the fleet, purpose-built for polar expeditions. With a capacity for 138 passengers, this modern vessel boasts cutting-edge expedition ship technology, including the renowned ULSTEIN X-BOW®, ensures a smooth and comfortable sailing experience. We have been enchanted by the light-filled two-story library located at the bow, offering a welcoming ambiance for guests to unwind. The Scandinavian-designed cabins, most with verandas, providing luxurious accommodations, exceeded our expectations. We, at Polartours absolutely loved the spacious gym, the sauna with panoramic views, and the two outdoor Jacuzzis for relaxation. We enjoyed particularly the wildlife viewing from the ample outdoor viewing areas and multi-height outer decks that are also ideals for photography. With a fleet of 15 Zodiacs, you embark on off-ship adventures swiftly and safely.
