Explora Journeys offers luxury ocean cruising with a vibrant, cosmopolitan, relaxed European style. Launched by the MSC Group, they aim to redefine the luxury cruise category by creating 'journeys' rather than traditional cruises, with a focus on their 'Ocean State of Mind' philosophy. They stand out for yacht-like intimacy, all-suite accommodations with private terraces, nine distinct culinary experiences, and an all-inclusive fare covering fine wines, premium spirits, Wi-Fi, gratuities, and spa thermal access.
For Summer 2026, Explora Journeys sails across Northern Europe, Iceland, Greenland, North America's East Coast and New England (aboard EXPLORA III), and the Mediterranean (aboard EXPLORA I and II). Destinations include Scandinavia, the Baltic, British Isles, the Canary Islands, Azores, and the full Mediterranean. Journeys start at 7 nights and can be extended to 14 or 21 nights by combining consecutive voyages for deeper cultural immersion.
Explora Journeys includes nine distinct culinary experiences (including in-suite dining), unlimited beverages including fine wines, premium spirits, speciality coffees, and soft drinks, access to the Ocean Wellness thermal spa area, complimentary high-speed Starlink Wi-Fi, all onboard gratuities, group wellness and fitness classes, shuttle services from port to city centre where available, an in-suite welcome bottle of champagne, and a bottle of wine and spirit of the guest's choice on arrival.
Dining encompasses six restaurants (Anthology, Sakura, Marble & Co. Grill, Emporium Marketplace, Med Yacht Club, Fil Rouge) plus additional venues like Explora Lounge, Crema Cafe, a Gelateria & Creperie, Chef's Kitchen, and 24-hour in-suite dining. Entertainment spans 12 indoor and outdoor bars and lounges including the Malt Whisky Bar and Journeys Lounge. Wellness features the 700+ sqm Ocean Wellness spa with 11 treatment rooms, hydrotherapy pool, Finnish sauna, steam room, salt cave, and a Technogym-equipped fitness centre.
Explora Journeys offers curated destination experiences in intimate, smaller groups led by local experts, including cultural, historical, and culinary excursions. These are available at additional cost and include behind-the-scenes access and unique locations reserved for Explora guests. Shuttle services from port to city centre are complimentary where available. Most journeys feature overnight or extended port stays for deeper immersion, and if an experience is delayed, the ship will wait.
Explora Journeys is designed for discerning, cosmopolitan travellers who appreciate relaxed European luxury, spacious all-suite accommodations, and a slower pace of travel with deeper destination immersion. It suits well-travelled guests seeking a yacht-like atmosphere without the formality of traditional luxury cruise lines. The brand appeals to food and wine enthusiasts, wellness-focused travellers, and those who value an all-inclusive, worry-free experience.
Explora Journeys offers Extended Journey savings when guests combine two or more consecutive voyages, providing deeper immersion and the convenience of remaining in the same suite throughout. Pre- and post-journey hotel, flight, and transfer packages are available through their Explora Experience Ambassadors.
