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.
