Accommodation
The Safari Explorer is the Goldilocks of small ships. She is not too big, not too small, but just the right size. She offers the space and ammenities of a larger small ship but maintians the intimacy and efficiency of a smaller yacht. She continually receives rave reviews from AdventureSmith Explorations staff and our clients. While the cabins and common areas are very nice it is her service, programs and cuisine that stand out the most. Choose the Safari Explorer if you are seeking a small ship that feels like a yacht. Expect as much activity as you wish with the luxury you would expect from a much larger ship. In this detailed review of the Safari Explorer, find the complete small ship description with deck plans and a photo gallery. After reading through our Safari Explorer review above and detailed ship description below, contact our Alaska cruise experts for more information and to compare this ship with other Alaska and Hawaii small ships and yachts.
