LEGO City 60368 Arctic Explorer Ship

LEGO City 60368, Arctic Explorer Ship, depicts an expedition vessel with equipment for Arctic and ocean exploration.

The set belongs to LEGO City Arctic, a subtheme built around exploration teams, specialist vehicles and research activity in cold environments. It is not tied to an external licence, instead using the City framework of contemporary vehicles, role-based minifigures and open-ended expedition scenarios.

The model contains 817 pieces and 7 minifigures. The French retail title also identifies a floating boat, helicopter, submarine, Viking wreck and orca figure, giving the set a clear maritime exploration focus.

Its strongest use is as a play set with a complete expedition setting, but it can also serve as a display centrepiece for a City Arctic collection. Compared with smaller vehicle-led entries in the theme, 60368 gathers ship operations, underwater discovery and a sizeable crew into one connected scene.
