The Explorer is a small, versatile expedition ship used by Secret Atlas for intimate micro-cruises, primarily in the Arctic and Antarctic. Accommodating just 12 guests, it offers a highly personal and immersive polar exploration experience. The vessel is designed to be agile and strong, allowing it to navigate deep into the pack ice and access remote areas that are inaccessible to larger ships. Its small size fosters a close-knit, communal atmosphere among guests and the expedition team. The onboard experience focuses on maximizing time in the wilderness, with less time spent waiting to board Zodiacs for shore landings and cruises. 

The ship is equipped for comfort, featuring modern Scandinavian interiors in its five double/twin cabins, each with an ensuite bathroom. Expedition gear, such as muck boots, is provided for the duration of the voyage. The Explorer is the perfect vessel for those seeking an authentic, unhurried, and intimate polar adventure, free from the crowds of a conventional expedition cruise.
