Ocean Explorer
Built in 2021 byChina Merchants (Jiangsu) Haimen, the ship is certainly distinctive enough. The patented Ulstein X-Bow is better known on supply vessels, and improves sea keeping on smaller ships.
The Ocean Explorer can carry 170 passengers in eighty cabins (and only 162 beds). Unusually there are fifteen single berth cabins and some "Trilux" three bed units. Crew strenth is reported to be 70. The 8228 gt ship is also ice strengthened.

HOW DOES THE X-BOW® WORK?
The X-BOW introduces the gentle displacer; a tapered fore ship shape with a different volume distribution as well as sectional angles, resulting in a wave piercing effect at small wave heights, and also reduces pitching and bow impact loads in bigger seas. When comparing fore ship volumes with more conventional, bulbous bow shapes, the X-BOW has more displacement volume starting from the waterline.
Instead of just rising on the waves and then dropping with colossal force, the X-BOW® is able to distribute the force more evenly across its surface – enabling the ship to remain more stable during poor weather conditions, increasing comfort for passengers and crew alike. And because it uses less fuel to get through the waves, it also helps to save energy.
