Swoop Video Review: World Explorer
Why we like this ship
- A sleek and spacious purpose-built expedition ship with 172 passengers
- Generously sized suites with floor to ceiling glass
- Impressive observation lounge with huge windows spanning 270°, ideal for soaking up the Antarctic vistas
- Daily off ship excursions complemented by onboard health & wellness facilities, including an unusual 360° walking track
- Active adventurers will appreciate the optional activities including kayaking, camping & stand-up paddleboarding (additional cost)
We think it's worth noting
- The main lecture theatre doesn't have windows, which can make it a bit claustrophobic for those feeling a little seasick
