Explora Journeys has redefined the luxury ocean sector by creating an onboard experience
reminiscent of the world’s finest boutique hotels. The two stunning ships, EXPLORA I and
EXPLORA II, envelop guests in sophisticated design, exceptional service, and a relaxed
atmosphere, fostering a sense of tranquility and indulgence.
Explora Journeys invites guests to discover their ‘Ocean State of Mind’ – a sense of pure
possibility and relaxation sensed whilst gazing out at the mysterious, endless sea.
Throughout each ship, spaces have been designed to maximize one’s feeling of proximity to the
water. Every suite is oceanfront and has a private terrace with comfortable yet elegant furniture
that invites relaxation – a home at sea. A plethora of outdoor seating and lounging areas –
around the ship’s three outdoor pools and tucked away in seemingly secret nooks – nurture
one’s appreciation for thoughtful design, and, more importantly, one’s sense of tranquility.
But intriguingly, even with the sea a central focus and grounding force for each journey, an
Explora Journeys holiday feels more like a stay at an exquisite boutique hotel found in any of
the world’s most captivating cities, than a cruise.
The provenance-focused culinary offerings rival those found in even the most sophisticated
cities. Explora Journeys offers a tantalizing range of distinctive, globally influenced dining
experiences included for every guest, with no set dining times.
The experience and artistry of the culinary and beverage experts results in immersive dining
experiences such as Sakura’s Pan-Asian cuisine, Fil Rouge’s French-inspired international
cuisine, Marble & amp; Co. Grill’s redefined European steakhouse experience, and more. Beyond
what’s included, guests can also experience Anthology’s elevated Italian cuisine in an
unparalleled gastronomic adventure, and culinary classes at Chef’s Kitchen.
At Emporium Marketplace, an abundance of globally inspired preparations for breakfast, lunch
and dinner ranges from the sumptuous to the health-conscious, with mouthwatering homemade
pastas and pizzas, exquisite sushi and ceviche, and an evolving array of plant-based options.
More than 12 indoor and outdoor bars and lounges – plus dining venues – offer complimentary
fine wines, spirits, beers, sodas, speciality coffees, teas and other non-alcoholic options –
offering the ease of true luxury. Guests are treated to an in-suite welcome bottle of champagne
complemented by sweet treats. The suite’s minibar is restocked daily, and included in your stay.
For those who want to stay connected, the complimentary high-speed WiFi, available
throughout the entire ship, is seamless and possibly the best at sea. When it comes to
entertainment, a diverse program of enriching events designed to connect guests, hosts and
luminaries offers a sense of discovery and spontaneous moments of joy.
Ocean Wellness, inspired by the sea and its natural healing properties, aims to nurture a sense
of well-being and foster rejuvenation, through spa treatments, the thermal spa, and individual
and group fitness opportunities.
Our guests have confessed that it’s the time spent onboard that imprints itself most dreamily
into their consciousness, even more vividly than the stunning places visited on each journey.
Amongst the many elements of our ships’ appeal is the abundance of outdoor seating and
lounging areas that nurtures one’s sense of tranquility – or as we call it, one’s Ocean State of
Mind.
When it comes to time spent on EXPLORA I and EXPLORA II, the truest luxury – feeling free –
prevails as guests discover the transcendental experience of being fully present. The Ocean
State of Mind, found only within the haven of Explora Journeys’ stunning hotel-like ships, is
perhaps the most desirable aspect of this unexpected destination.
Explora Journeys has partnered with Black Circle Society because we share a belief – that
access should be elevated – not just in where you go, but in how you live along the way. BCS’s
commitment to redefining modern luxury aligns seamlessly with our own: thoughtful, curated,
and deeply enriching. Together, we’re shaping a new path for the discerning traveler, one who
values experiences over excess and purpose over pretense.
