About Philippines Explorer 2

Designed for Private Adventures and Shared Memories

Launched in 2022, Philippines Explorer 2 was purpose-built for exploring the islands and remote waters of Southeast Asia. During her first years at sea, she completed remarkable voyages through the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Borneo, the Andaman Islands, Brunei, Singapore and the Solomon Islands. Now returning to the Philippines, she brings this extensive cruising experience to a new chapter of island adventures.

Philippines Explorer 2 was created with families and small groups of friends in mind. Her welcoming layout encourages guests to travel, explore and create lasting memories together while still providing space for privacy. Three generously proportioned decks offer ample room to socialise, enjoy the surrounding scenery or retreat to a quiet corner between activities.

Comfort underway is supported by a Seakeeper gyro-stabilisation system, which helps reduce the vessel’s movement and creates a smoother, more relaxed cruising experience. Quiet-running generators further enhance life onboard, allowing guests to enjoy peaceful evenings and restful nights.

Combining proven expedition experience with an intimate atmosphere and thoughtful onboard technology, Philippines Explorer 2 offers families and friends a comfortable and personal way to discover the extraordinary islands, coastlines and underwater treasures of the Philippines.
