Designed specifically for navigating waters in some of the worlds most remote destinations, including both of the worlds polar regions, the 6072 tonne vessel boasts a strengthened hull with the highest Lloyds register ice-class notation for passenger ships. With eight zodiac boats, her 132 priveleged guests can visit even the most off the beaten track locations. Experience the thrill of a true expedition aboard Silver Explorer.
