    Heritage Discoverer

    Heritage Discoverer is a trailblazing expedition vessel, purpose-built to navigate the world’s most demanding waters. She was built in 1989 at Finland’s Rauma shipyard and formerly sailed as Silver Explorer. Her decades of exploration range from the Northwest Passage to remote tropical islands and atolls, and down to Antarctica, and she holds a 1A ice-class rating.

    Following renovations in 2018, 2023 and 2026, Heritage Discoverer blends adventure with exceptional comfort and personalised service.
