Discoverer features a 1-A Super ice class rating — the highest ice class awarded to passenger vessels. This means that we will be able to explore coves, bays, and channels that would previously have been forbidden to us.
What makes the Discoverer special is how it combines true expedition capability with a more refined onboard experience. Upgraded public spaces, elegant lounges, and thoughtful design create a welcoming atmosphere that remains expedition-first, simply with a little more polish.
The Discoverer remains a true expedition vessel at heart. An ice-strengthened hull, a fleet of Zodiacs for shore landings and wildlife cruising, and expansive outer decks – including a wrap-around outer deck on Deck 6, ideal for wildlife viewing and photography – make the ship perfectly suited for exploring remote polar environments.
