The verdict
Which should you choose?
Safari Voyager is an intimate Un-Cruise Adventures ship carrying 62 passengers, in service since 1982. Wilderness Explorer is an intimate Un-Cruise Adventures ship carrying 74 passengers, in service since 1976. Safari Voyager has no Bliss scores yet, so the verdict rests on the figures we do hold.
Choose Safari Voyager if you want more space per passenger, more crew per passenger or a newer ship: it has 19.3 gross tons per passenger (vs 12.3), it has a crew member for every 2.1 passengers (vs 2.8) and its maiden voyage was in 1982 (vs 1976).
Wilderness Explorer does not lead by a clear margin on any measure we track, so pick it for its itinerary or its dates.
