About DISCOVERER

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. After 15 years in the Silversea fleet, Silver Explorer was sold to Exploris Cruises and Expeditions in January 2022. She was transferred to Exploris in September 2023 and began sailings as Exploris One in December 2023.
