French expedition cruise company, Exploris Expeditions & Cruises is looking to add to its fleet.
The company was only formed in 2022 by Ponant co-founder, Philippe Videau and started with its first ship – ’Exploris One’ – late last year.
She was purchased from Silversea Expeditions.
According to its website, the company is planning to build two more ships – both of which will have a maximum capacity of just 98 guests with 62 crew members.
“Designed in the same spirit, our next two vessels will meet some of the most demanding specifications in terms of ecology, performance, safety and comfort,” Exploris said.
For now, Exploris is primarily serving the French speaking market, sailing to the Arctic, Antarctic, South America, and Northern Europe.
The new ships interior design will be handled by Sébastien Flamant of Flamant Interior Design, and they will fly the French flag and will be classed by BV.
