Picture Exploris

Who are we ?

« We are all explorers. »

We are Exploris, the new expedition cruise company. Our first trips will begin during the winter of 2023/2024.

Exploris was born out of a long-standing love for exploring these extraordinary, still-wild regions. All of the company's employees are eager to share their passion for those natural paradises.

When we travel to these latitudes, it is to fully experience the feelings of freedom and curiosity that you get from exploration. This is why we have willingly limited the capacity of our current and future vessels to fewer than 145 passengers. This allows us to visit areas inaccessible to cruise ships.

Therefore, we are equipped to take you to the farthest reaches of the world, where there is no port infrastructure, and where you will never have to wait long to disembark via our Zodiacs©.

Our team

« I promise you the trip of a lifetime. »

The Captain and crew

Highly experienced and duly certified to navigate in these very special places, our captains and officers will be proud to introduce you to the wonders of these sights. For them too, discovering each region always reveals a new experience, with its moments of emotion, anecdotes and unexpected encounters. And you can be sure that our crew will also be able to share with you the passion that all sailors feel for their ship.

The expedition teams

Our carefully selected expedition leaders will form a team of guides, naturalists and specialists dedicated to a given geographical area. Their considerable experience, the extent of their skills, and their sensitivity to respecting the flora and fauna will greatly enrich your trip. They are also storytellers and excellent instructors. Their lectures will certainly captivate you.

In addition, during some expeditions, local experts will accompany you to help you better understand the life of native communities. All of this, of course, is with a constant focus on safety and environmental protection.

Antarctica’s official discovery was in 1819, by British long-distance captain Williams Smith. But Antarctica is not owned by anyone. It is a continent dedicated to science and peace. This world of silence & ice is governed by the Royal Penguins.

Designed in the same spirit, these two sister ships will meet some of the most demanding specifications in terms of ecology, performance, safety and comfort.

Like the Exploris One, because they are designed for exploration, they will carry a reduced number of passengers, so as to give priority to the quality of the experience, whether on board or during daily landings.

In accordance with the applicable regulations, and in particular the provisions of the GDPR and the French "Informatique et Libertés" law (Data Protection Act) of 6 January 1978 as amended, you may contact us (see section 10.4 below) to exercise your rights of (a) access, (b) rectification, (c) erasure, (d) restriction of data processing as well as your rights of (e) data portability and (f) objection.

In addition, you have the legal right to determine how your personal data will be used after your death.

a) The right of access

You have the right to request confirmation that we are processing personal data about you and, if so, to receive a copy of that data. When we respond to a request to exercise the right of access, we will also provide you with additional information such as the purposes of the processing operations concerned, the categories of personal data and all other information relating to those operations.

b) The right of rectification

You have the right to request the rectification of your personal data if you consider that it is inaccurate. You may also, in view of the purposes of the processing concerned, request that your data be supplemented, which may involve the provision of additional information.

c) The right to erasure

You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data.

This right may only be exercised in certain cases, where one of the grounds set out in Article 17 of the GDPR applies. For example, it may relate to personal data that is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or that has been unlawfully processed.

If you exercise this right and if one of the grounds is applicable to your request, we will erase your personal data as soon as possible.

d) The right to data portability

You have the right to request the provision of personal information that you have directly communicated to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, if its processing is automated and based on your consent or the performance of a contract which you signed. This right does not apply to other legal bases for processing. Where applicable and technically possible, you may also request the transfer of this data directly to another controller.

e) The right to restrict data processing

You have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data. This means that we mark this data, where we actually possess it, with a view to temporarily suspending its processing. This right can be exercised on the grounds set out in Article 18 of the GDPR, and notably when you contest the accuracy of your personal data. This right does not result in erasure and we are obliged to inform you before the relevant processing restriction is lifted.

f) The right to object

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data.

This means that you can ask us to stop processing your personal data. For our business, this right only applies in cases where our legitimate interests (including the associated profiling) constitute the lawful basis for processing.

For example, you can object at any time and free of charge to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, including for profiling purposes to the extent that it relates to such direct marketing. If you exercise this right, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes.

You can also, when you are in contact with our customer service, object to the recording of your telephone call for the purposes of improving service quality, preventing disputes and malicious calls by informing the adviser directly.

10.2 Withdrawing your consent

Your data will only be used after obtaining your explicit consent, where required by law for certain processing purposes (e.g. electronic direct marketing). You can withdraw your consent at any time by following the specific instructions related to the processing concerned.

You can withdraw your consent by clicking on the unsubscribe link contained in our e-mails (e.g. EXPLORIS newsletter), by changing your communication preferences in your account if the option is available or by changing your smartphone settings for mobile push notifications and location data.

For more information on how you can withdraw your consent to the cookies and similar technologies we use when you visit our websites, please see our cookie policy (see point 11).

10.3 Denial of certain requests

The rights described above are not applicable in all situations.

Indeed, in accordance with the applicable regulations, we may be entitled to deny certain requests. For each request, we carefully assess whether such a derogation applies and inform you accordingly.

We may, for example, deny your request for access if this is necessary to protect the rights and freedoms of other individuals or refuse to delete your personal data where the processing of such data is necessary to comply with legal requirements.

The right to data portability does not apply, for example, if the personal data was not provided by you or if we process the data in a manner that is not based on your consent or the performance of a contract.
