Sea Explorer ( ex Corinthian)

Recently purchased by APT/Noble Caledonia and scheduled for a refit 2016.

Anyone been aboard recently who can comment on the state of the ship?

Thinking of booking next year

If you pop over to the CC Antarctica forum

Or the Trip Advisor Antarctica forum

You will find posters who have travelled on it under both names.

The ship is being refitted April 2016. We are booked on a Noble Cal trip in May 2016 and the brochure says:

'Sea Explorer, previous known as Corinthian II, will be joining the NC fleet in Spring 2016 and will receive an extensive refit in April 2016 and thereby offer the same standards as her sister vessels Island Sky and Caledonian Sky."

We were on her last year, and she was in great shape! It was chartered for 2 weeks cruising the British Isles to Iceland. She is small, one dining room, 2 lounges, well-appointed staterooms, small library and internet area, exercise area with hot-tub. One rough sea night, but she handled it well.
