Explora Journeys represents the ambition and long-held dream of the MSC Group and the Aponte family to create a transformative luxury ocean travel experience and brand that redefines the luxury cruise category.

Reimagining entertainment with the right vibe for the right time, with the perfect blend of vibrancy and privacy across more than 10 indoor and outdoor bars and lounges. Unwind in an effortless, cosmopolitan atmosphere in which to discover, enjoy and appreciate diverse talents from around the world, with sophisticated experiences that eschew formality and scale for effortless style and character. All created with an appreciation for experiences, rituals, imaginative beverage creations and curated sounds inspired by our Ocean State of Mind.

Discovery, lasting connection and consciousness are at the core of the Aponte family’s vision for their new luxury cruise line, and the elegant culinary experience aboard is no exception. You will have 10 diverse culinary experiences to discover, including in-suite dining – each distinct but everyone created to celebrate global cooking talents, provenance and wholesome ingredients sourced by local partners.

Our comprehensive and holistic wellbeing experience is inspired by our love for the sea, and the positive influence and impact it can have on you. From treatment rooms to state-of-the-art fitness equipment, group workout classes to personal training appointments, tailor-made programmes make keeping well while on holiday effortless and enjoyable. Bespoke wellness experiences at each destination will make relaxation and rejuvenation easily accessible both onboard and ashore.

More than 2,500 square meters (26,909 square feet) of outdoor space delivering spectacular sea views, includes three swimming pools and 64 private cabanas, whilst an indoor pool with a retractable glass roof will allow swimming and poolside relaxation in any weather. Combined with numerous indoor and outdoor whirlpools on the ship’s promenade deck, the ship has been designed with water as a real focal point of the experience – helping our guests discover their ocean state of mind.
