Royal Caribbean Explorer of the Seas

Explorer of the Seas made history hosting the first scientific research laboratory at sea, partnering with the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine Science. This 2000-built Voyager-class pioneer introduced innovations now standard across cruising—the rock climbing wall, ice skating rink, and inline skating track. Refurbished multiple times with modern updates while maintaining classic Royal Caribbean charm. Sailing diverse global itineraries including Caribbean, Europe, and repositioning voyages, Explorer delivers proven amenities at value pricing with 3,100-passenger capacity. Perfect for travelers seeking Royal Caribbean heritage, scientific connection, and classic cruising without mega-ship scale.
