Environmental Features of the Explora Fleet

 

All Explora ships are equipped with shore power capabilities, allowing them to switch off their engines and connect to the local electricity grid while in port, thereby eliminating direct emissions.

EXPLORA III will be the first ship in the fleet with LNG-powered capabilities, reflecting the brand’s efforts to decarbonise its marine operations. EXPLORA IV, V and VI are also being designed with LNG-powered capabilities.
