The "New" World Discoverer: A Vessel Built for Discovery The "New" World Discoverer is among the few passenger vessels in the world that can approach some of the most isolated and pristine island habitats on earth while providing unparalleled comfort and state-of-the-art amenities. Boasting the latest and most sophisticated navigational equipment, her specially hardened hull has earned an unsurpassed ice-rating for passenger vessels. Because she is one of the only passenger vessels in the world designed to be self-sufficient in remote areas, the "New" World Discoverer can stand up to the most challenging environments. Whether navigating polar pack ice searching for polar bears or gliding over coral reefs to explore unique sea life, her maneuverability, size and speed are specifically built for expedition cruising. And because auxiliary exploring crafts (Zodiacs) are such a vital and frequent part of daily explorations, the ship's custom design is a critical feature for the safe and speedy deployment of passengers in varying sea conditions. The Best in Comfort As resilient as she is in challenging environments, you as a passenger will still be able to enjoy even the smallest comfort. With seven decks and two elevators, the "New" World Discoverer includes a swimming pool, whirlpool, sauna, library, lecture hall, restaurant, lounges, beauty salon, hospital, boutique and exercise room. Elegantly decorated, the 86 ocean-view staterooms range in area from 155 to tackle,ball square feet. Balconies grace the two-room Owner's Suite and Junior Suites, and 20 staterooms feature French patios. Another 48 staterooms feature large viewing windows. All staterooms and suites can be reached only via interior companionways and have no promenade outside the window, insuring privacy and protection from the weather. All staterooms also offer passenger amenities expected only on leading luxury cruise ships: sitting area, queen/twin beds, bathtub/shower, hair dryer, 9-channel satellite TV/VCR, telephone and climate control. Public Spaces As a platform for best observing your surroundings, The "New" World Discoverer has both fore and outer decks, an enclosed forward observation lounge with panoramic windows, a crow's nest and an open-bridge policy. Other public spaces include three separate lounges, each elegantly appointed and large enough to hold group meetings. These lounges also allow a comfortable and serene environment for reading, reflection, or social interaction with fellow explorers. In addition, the lecture hall/cinema easily seats all passengers and the dining salon, with picture windows, accommodates all passengers at one seating.
