Discoverer

Polar Latitudes Expeditions is proud to announce the addition of a new expedition vessel to its fleet: the newly renamed Discoverer, formerly known as Exploris One. The ship will join Polar Latitudes Expeditions’ Antarctic program beginning with the 2026/27 season, replacing Seaventure, which will transition to full operation under 66 Expeditions. Discoverer joins the Polar Latitudes Expeditions family, following a majority acquisition by its parent company. “By replacing a chartered with an owned vessel, we again underline our vision, having superior control of our expedition product and therefore also creating the best potential expedition experience for our customers,” says Anders Kristensen, Chief Commercial Officer of Polar Latitudes Expeditions. In addition to operating under the Polar Latitudes Expeditions brand in Antarctica, Discoverer will also sail under the Heritage Expeditions banner in other global regions, further underscoring the ship’s versatility and expedition pedigree.
