About the NG Explorer

The NG Explorer is a true pioneer of modern expedition cruising, with a storied history of exploring some of the world’s most remote and remarkable regions.

LEX Iceland Dynjandi Waterfall Arnarfjörður Westfjords Region NG Explorer

The NG Explorer is a fully stabilised, ice-class vessel with an ice-reinforced hull, enabling her to navigate polar passages while providing comfort, elegance and a deep connection to the environment. Compact and highly manoeuvrable, she is purpose-built for exploring rugged coastlines and hard-to-reach destinations, offering guests exclusive access to places few vessels can reach. Onboard, welcoming public spaces, expansive observation areas, and an experienced expedition team foster a warm, communal atmosphere, making every voyage immersive, authentic, and uniquely connected to the extraordinary places explored.

LEX Ship NG Explorer Food

Dining on board the NG Explorer is relaxed, welcoming and well-suited to the rhythm of expedition travel. Meals are freshly prepared and nourishing, with an emphasis on sustainable choices and locally sourced ingredients where possible. Guests can enjoy a mix of hearty dishes and lighter options to refuel after active days ashore.

Dining areas provide a friendly, social atmosphere where guests gather to share meals and reflect on the day’s discoveries. Meals are served at a single seating with unassigned tables, encouraging an informal atmosphere and easy mingling among guests. Dining takes place across the main dining room, Bistro Bar, and Observation Lounge, offering flexibility and a variety of settings throughout the day. Flexible dining and attentive service make the experience easy and informal, while a selection of wines, beers, and spirits is available to enjoy with dinner or in the evenings, rounding out a comfortable and convivial onboard experience.

On board the NG Explorer, wellness is woven naturally into the rhythm of expedition life. After exhilarating days spent exploring remote coastlines and wild landscapes, guests can retreat to welcoming onboard spaces designed for rest, recovery, and quiet reflection, perfect for unwinding as the scenery drifts by outside. A dedicated fitness area allows guests to stay active with light workouts and stretching between excursions, helping maintain energy levels throughout days filled with exploration.
