The expedition team were particularly pleased with the onboard waste system which converted passenger waste into energy to heat the ship. The World Explorer has an ice-class of 1B, which is more than adequate for the larger bays of Antarctica and South Georgia. A peaceful observation lounge on board the World Explorer Nowhere felt crowded or dingy and the hotspots like the observation lounge always had plenty of space for everyone. The World Explorer could handle a ton more passengers than 176 but chose to keep it feeling exclusive. Wandering around the ship I realised just how much space there was. The ship feels almost like a miniature cruise liner because of its high tech facilities and size. I’ve sailed on a number of Polar vessels now and the majority have been far smaller and much more intimate. I remember thinking how big the World Explorer felt when I first boarded.

The flatscreen TV was wall-mounted in front of the beds and I loved the fact that you could watch live broadcasts of the onboard lectures on the TV from the comfort of your bed. I was in a twin room and the two beds, although close together, were of a good size. Most smaller vessels have an en-suite that is essentially a tiny wet room, but the bathroom on the World Explorer felt like exactly that – a proper bathroom. There was a couch area in front of the balcony which provided a good changing area and the en-suite was impressively large. The cabin was spacious and light and the balcony had enough room for two chairs and a small table. Having never sailed to Antarctica in a cabin with a balcony, I was particularly looking forward to this new experience and enjoying views of the White Continent over my morning coffee. Upon boarding the Word Explorer in Ushuaia, I was directed to my room, a Veranda Cabin.

Having previously travelled on smaller vessels, I was a little concerned that the larger size of the ship would hinder my experience slightly due to only 100 people allowed on shore in Antarctica at any one time. At 126 meters in length, the World Explorer is by no means a small Polar vessel and can take up to 176 passengers and 125 staff and crew. Built specifically for expedition-stye cruising, the World Explorer is a 5-star vessel featuring the latest in quality cabins and facilities.
