It is not the regular cruise line that Explora Journeys perceives itself to be it considers itself a planner of journeys: enriching and respectful experiences inspired by a passion for the sea. It re-invents the cruise as a travel experience by introducing a new form of ocean transportation that joins cosmopolitan European luxury with an open, easy-going ambience.

Dining options extend across nine restaurants, indoor and outdoor pools to unwind by, and first-class wellness and fitness facilities.

Jubilant and noble is the service of Explora Journeys, which has exceeded expectations for every guest.

Finally, It is an invitation to enjoy the Ocean State of Mind, to discover and relax, which can only be done through their extraordinary journeys.
