WORLD EXPLORER against its type
Built in 2019, it is 9 years newer than the median cruise ship on this register, which was built in 2010 (195 vessels with a known build year). At 9,923 gross tonnage it is smaller than 95% of the other 177 cruise ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 5 cruise ships here under the Portugal flag, 2.5% of the 202 on the register. No other vessel on this register is recorded with the same builder. Its MRV returns name it WORLD EXPLORER (OCT-19)) for 2019 and WORLD EXPLORER for 2020–2025. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Madeira as port of registry.
Its 6,245 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 80% below the median of 31,269 t among the 200 cruise ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 207.8 kg CO₂, 75% below the type median of 821.3 kg. It logged 2,460 hours at sea against a median of 3,133 hours for its type that year. 8.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for cruise ships was 15.1%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (8,504 t) and the lowest 2019 (3,040 t). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 105.4% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 6.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
