Safari Explorer

The Safari Explorer is a 36-guest expedition yacht built for exploring places that larger cruise ships can't reach. Its rugged design and small size allow it to navigate remote waterways while still offering comfortable accommodations and inviting public spaces.

During the winter, the Safari Explorer sails in Hawaii, exploring all four major islands while accessing secluded anchorages and coves. In the summer, it heads north to Alaska, where it operates itineraries in destinations including Prince William Sound and the Aleutian Islands.

Guest accommodations are spread across three accessible decks. The bridge deck features the rooftop sun lounge, fitness equipment, an open bridge, the Commodore Suites, and a hot tub (available during Alaska cruises only). The cabin deck includes Navigator and Trailblazer category cabins, Jr. Commodore cabins, and one Admiral Cabin. The main deck is home to the Admiral Suites, the dining room, lounge, and other shared spaces.

Plated meals are served in the dining room with open seating at scheduled meal times. Beverages, including wine, beer, spirits, and non-alcoholic drinks, are included. Vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free options are always available, and additional dietary needs can be accommodated with advance notice.
