Exploris One

Exploris One is an ice-strengthened expedition cruise ship built by Rauma shipyard in Finland. She was launched in 1989 as MS Delfin Clipper and was the first luxury cruise vessel built at this shipyard. Over the period 1989 to 2001 she operated under several names before being acquired by Society Expeditions, who operated her from 2001 to 2007 under the names World Discoverer and World Adventurer. In 2007, she was purchased by Silversea Cruises and after a major refit was renamed Prince Albert II, becoming the first expedition cruise vessel in the Silversea line. In April 2011, she was renamed Silver Explorer.

Exploris One was built in 1989. Vessels of this generation reflect the design conventions of their construction era: atrium layouts, public-room programming, balcony cabin ratios and propulsion systems all evolved measurably between the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s shipbuilding cycles.

Key reported specifications for Exploris One include a gross tonnage of approximately 6,130 GT, a passenger capacity in the vicinity of 132, an overall length of approximately 108 metres.

Onboard programming on a vessel of Exploris One's profile typically includes multiple dining venues, a central showroom, pool deck areas, a spa and fitness facility, themed bars, and on family-oriented brands children's and teen spaces.

Itineraries assigned to Exploris One reflect the operator's seasonal deployment plan, which moves vessels between regions to follow demand and weather. Researching the ship's current and upcoming season gives the most accurate picture of where it will sail.
