Explora 1 is well designed, luxurious, and a pleasure to travel on. However that cannot be said for the Iglu organised vehicle transfers and pre cruise hotel stay which caused us serious irritation and marred the overall holiday.

The ship is beautiful with lots of space.
Food is excellent we had no issues getting reservations but the ship wasn't at capacity.
Service was the equivalent of other luxury lines
The downside was the entertainment onboard. It wasn't very good at all. Make sure you take a good book with you and look forward to some early nights in bed.

Beautiful ship, good sevice mostly and very nice staff.
Food was fairly good but apart from the Emporium Marketplace the menu's don't change and become dull. Seafood very good; fish average; meat tough and wine limited in choice and quality except for the very nice house champagne.
