Safari Explorer is designed for upscale comfort in the pursuit of adventure. This high-end SUV of a yacht is nimble, strong, and loving. The Safari Explorer has what mariners call “feet” that take her into wild areas big ships can’t visit. Her performance-built rugged construction means access to faraway regions. But it’s what’s on the inside that makes this vessel the prize of the fleet. And with only 36 guests on board, the feel is decidedly exclusive.
 
Cabin Specifications
The Safari Explorer offers elegant yet relaxed accommodations designed for upscale comfort and adventure. Each cabin is equipped with thoughtful amenities to ensure a luxurious stay, including a TV/DVD player, heated tile floors in all bathrooms, hairdryer, bathrobes, conditioning shampoo, and body wash. Guests are also provided with binoculars for wildlife viewing and reusable water bottles for excursions, reflecting the vessel’s commitment to both comfort and sustainability. The ship’s three guest-accessible decks—Bridge, Cabin, and Main—feature a range of cabin categories, from the compact Navigator and Trailblazer rooms to the more spacious Jr. Commodore and Admiral Suites. Each suite is tastefully designed to provide a cozy retreat after a day of exploration.

Features Onboard
Safari Explorer is a high-end, adventure-ready yacht affectionately known as “the Bulldog,” combining rugged performance with refined style. With only 36 guests on board, the ambiance is intimate and personalized. The ship features a full-beam swim step for easy water access, kayaks, paddleboards, inflatable skiffs, hiking poles, snorkel gear, wetsuits, and yoga mats for active exploration. Guests can unwind in the on-deck hot tub (available during Alaska cruises), enjoy the fitness area, or relax with selections from the DVD and book library. The Bridge Deck includes a rooftop sun lounge and open bridge, while the Main Deck hosts social spaces such as the Dining Room, Salon, Bar, and Wine Bar. Dining is open-seating with set meal times, offering a variety of beverages—including wines, cocktails, and juices—all included in the cruise fare. Vegetarian dishes and special dietary needs are gladly accommodated when arranged in advance. Designed for adventure and comfort, Safari Explorer combines the spirit of exploration with the elegance of small-ship cruising.
