Built for intimate explorations, our yacht-style ships – including the newest World Traveller launching in November 2022 – are made for those who believe in experiencing their destinations up close without leaving a major footprint. World Navigator is now sailing her inaugural season with state-of-the-art technology that helps us fulfill our goals of providing once-in-a-lifetime expeditions with responsible citizenship in mind, and the brand-new World Traveller will be built with the same specifications.

Hybrid power management and propulsion systems maximize our ships’ fuel efficiency. It consumes as low as one-fifth the fuel used by cruise ships with conventional systems. Two onboard hydro jets propel each ship at a near-silent cruising speed of five knots. This helps minimize underwater noise so that you can get closer to marine wildlife without disturbing it. A sophisticated, GPS-based Dynamic Position System controls propellers, tunnel thrusters, and hydro jets to maintain each ship’s position. This lets us avoid using anchors, which harm ocean floor life.

World Navigator and World Traveller provide the best way to enjoy your destinations and protect them for other travelers. As these Explorer Class ships quietly navigate the remote and rugged locations on your itineraries, you will wonder why anyone would roam any other way.
