"With a BrickScore of 88.5 and owner ratings of 4.71 across 266 reviews, the Deep Sea Exploration Vessel earns its Highly Recommended standing as a benchmark City playset: a rare set where critics and buyers agree it delivers a complete, content-rich experience that justified its price at retail and remains a standout in the retired City catalog."
Reviewers unanimously praise the Deep Sea Exploration Vessel as one of the most complete City sets ever released, delivering a full undersea scenario with a research ship, multiple submersibles, a shipwreck, marine life, and seven minifigures in a single box. Jay's Brick Blog called it a set where 'nothing else could be added to improve it,' while Brickset provided detailed praise for the ship's real-world inspiration from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute's RV Tioga.

Brickset Reviews"My favourite thing about 60095 Deep Sea Exploration Vessel is that it just feels like a complete set. You get plenty of minifigures, marine organisms, an awesome looking ship, plenty of undersea equipment and even a shipwreck to play around with. It's quite rare these days to build a set and come away feeling like nothing else could be added to improve it."
