  • Drift into the Ocean State of Mind

    A journey with Explora Journeys is not just a cruise, it’s a state of being. More than a destination, the ocean is a feeling. A rhythm. A space to breathe, to feel, to reconnect. At the heart of Explora Journeys lies the Ocean State of Mind, a sense of calm and curiosity that expands with every wave. It’s what happens when time slows, the view opens, and everything around you feels beautifully effortless. With a refined approach to luxury and a soulful connection to the sea, Explora Journeys reimagines travel not as an escape, but as a return — to yourself, to nature, to wonder.

  • Where Superyacht Style Meets Soulful Interiors

    The aesthetic at Explora Journeys speaks softly but confidently. Born from European roots and a family legacy of understated elegance, the ships are modern, cosmopolitan, and intimate — more boutique hotel than floating resort. To shape this distinctive identity, Explora Journeys called on Martin Francis, the acclaimed British designer behind some of the world’s most iconic yachts. The exterior profile of each ship mirrors that of a sleek superyacht — a conscious departure from traditional cruise silhouettes. Inside, the design is a collaboration between leading studios like SMC Design, AD Associates, and De Jorio Luxury and Yacht Projects. Together, they’ve created an environment that feels simultaneously elevated and relaxed — vibrant yet personal. Think natural materials, curated art, panoramic sea views, and light-filled spaces where form always follows feeling.

  • A New Kind of Luxury at Sea

    Forget what you know about cruising. This is something else. From the moment you board, you're welcomed with champagne, your luggage is already waiting, and your suite — always ocean-facing — feels more like a private residence than a hotel room. With just 461 suites, penthouses, and residences, privacy is guaranteed. Each features floor-to-ceiling windows, expansive terraces, and a sense of space rare in the industry. The real luxury? Not having to think. Every detail is taken care of by a team of perfect hosts, with a guest-to-host ratio of 1.25 to 1. Service is warm, intuitive, and impeccably discreet — allowing you to fully let go.

  • Flavour, Rhythm, Atmosphere

    On board, every moment is designed to inspire — whether it’s over a candlelit dinner or a morning espresso with sea views. Eleven dining experiences take you on a global journey: from the citrus and spice of North Africa to the sun-drenched flavours of Greece, Spain, France and Italy. Ingredients are locally sourced, stories are told through each plate, and provenance is celebrated with passion. Twelve lounges and bars set the mood — from sophisticated cocktail spots to quiet corners for reading or reflection. Whether you're in the mood for vibrancy or privacy, there's a space that fits. Entertainment is curated to the moment. Always cosmopolitan, always elegant. Never intrusive. Just the right vibe, at the right time.

  • Ocean Wellness: Reconnect. Recharge. Realign.

    Explora Journeys doesn’t just offer relaxation — it offers recalibration. Through Ocean Wellness, guests are invited on a personal journey that blends fitness, mindfulness, sleep, nutrition, and recovery into an effortless ritual. Whether you're seeking energy, serenity, or rejuvenation, each experience is designed to enhance the ocean’s naturally soothing influence. From state-of-the-art fitness spaces to expert-led treatments and tailored wellbeing programs, the goal is simple: to help you feel more like yourself than ever before — both onboard and beyond.

As proud members of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, Explora ensures all partners and tour operators share their commitment to protecting communities and ecosystems. On shore, excursions highlight local artisans, chefs, and cultures — creating a ripple of positive impact through every journey.
