Explora Journeys
One of the newest luxury cruise lines, Explora Journeys launched in 2023 and is already making waves in the industry. Ushering in the next generation of luxury cruising, the three ships in the fleet, Explora I, Explora II and Explora III, offer a new approach to yacht-like cruising. As the MSC Group's new exquisite cruising concept, Explora Journeys bids farewell to early arrivals and structured dining schedules, swapping them for a relaxed, easy-going approach that puts guest experience above everything else.
What Makes an Explora Journeys Holiday Exceptional?
Explora Journeys is dedicated to elevating the concept of a luxury cruise and transforming it into an extraordinary ocean journey. Cruising to the best destinations in the world is no longer a matter of getting from A to B but an experience of indulgence, whether that be in the intricate island network of the Caribbean or the histories and architecture of Northern Europe.
Each and every staff member aboard an Explora Journeys ship goes above and beyond to ensure an impeccable standard across every detail. Attentive to the smallest details, its teams across entertainment, dining and service deliver luxury at every level, so couples on a honeymoon cruise or families trying a luxury cruise for the first time can have the experience of a lifetime.
Explora Journeys Welcomes EXPLORA I
EXPLORA I set sail in August 2023 and is the first of six luxury best-in-class ships. Curated with the world’s foremost superyacht and luxury hospitality designers, guests can expect home-like comforts on board this innovative ship. There’s a perfect blend of intimate and vibrant spaces, with 461 ocean-front suites, penthouses and even residences that will leave guests feeling closer to the sea. With floor-to-ceiling windows and your personal, private terraces, there is no finer way to travel.
