The MS Explorer was a Liberian-registered cruise ship designed for Arctic and Antarctic service , originally commissioned and operated by the Swedish explorer Lars-Eric Lindblad .
Besides being the first cruise ship ever built specifically to ply the frigid waters of the Antarctic Ocean , the Explorer became the first ever to sink there when it struck an unidentified submerged object , possibly ice , on November 23 2007 which caused a 10 by 4 inch -LRB- 25 × 10 cm -RRB- gash in the hull .
