What is Explora Journeys and who launched it?

Explora Journeys is a luxury lifestyle travel brand launched by the MSC Group with the ambition to redefine the luxury cruise category. The concept focuses on vibrant, cosmopolitan, relaxed European luxury at sea, creating journeys rather than traditional cruises. The brand is guided by the 'Ocean State of Mind' philosophy, with Executive Chairman Pierfrancesco Vago leading the cruise division.

What destinations does Explora Journeys cover in Summer 2026?

Summer 2026 destinations include Northern Europe (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, United Kingdom), the Baltic capitals, Iceland, Greenland, the Mediterranean (Spain, France, Italy, Monaco, Croatia, Montenegro, Greece, Turkey), the Canary Islands, Madeira, Azores, Morocco, Tunisia, Cyprus, and North America (USA and Canada including the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Labrador Sea, Bay of Fundy, and New England).

What dining venues are available on Explora Journeys ships?

Explora Journeys ships feature six restaurants: Anthology (Italian fine dining), Sakura (Pan-Asian), Marble & Co. Grill (European steakhouse), Emporium Marketplace (all-day dining), Med Yacht Club (Mediterranean flavours), and Fil Rouge (French-inspired international cuisine). Additional culinary experiences include Explora Lounge, Crema Café, Gelateria & Crêperie at The Conservatory, Chef's Kitchen (culinary classes), and 24-hour In-Suite Dining.

What are the suite accommodations like on Explora Journeys ships?

All accommodations are ocean-front suites, penthouses and residences ranging from 35 sqm (377 sq ft) to 280 sqm (3,014 sq ft), making them among the most spacious in the category. All suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows, private sun terraces with dining area and sunbed, walk-in wardrobes with Dyson Supersonic hair dryer, heated bathroom floors, individual climate control, espresso machines, mini-bar replenished to guest preferences, binoculars, and Mandala Blue custom bath toiletries.

What ships does Explora Journeys deploy for Summer 2026?

For Summer 2026 (March through November), Explora Journeys deploys three ships: EXPLORA III in her inaugural season navigating Northern Europe, Iceland, Greenland, and North America's East Coast and New England; and EXPLORA I and EXPLORA II sailing the Mediterranean, exploring both celebrated and lesser-travelled destinations along its coastlines.

What is included in all Explora Journeys fares?
