Whether you’re setting sail for the first time or are a seasoned explorer, your journey with Explora will be deeply personal and unmistakably luxurious.
What to Expect from Explora Journeys
Explora Journeys reimagines ocean travel with its modern European design, all-suite accommodations, and a wellness-forward approach. Each ship — starting with EXPLORA I — delivers a superyacht-style experience, marked by expansive public spaces, panoramic ocean views, and a high guest-to-crew ratio.
The brand’s Ocean State of Mind philosophy guides every touchpoint, encouraging travellers to slow down and reconnect with the joy of discovery. From extended port stays to intuitive service and curated cultural programming, Explora Journeys makes every voyage feel like a personal journey rather than a packaged itinerary.
