20th Feb 2028 | 14 nights | Explora Journeys | Explora III
Step aboard EXPLORA III and discover a sanctuary of relaxed European luxury designed to feel more like a private yacht than a traditional cruise ship. With 461 ocean-front suites, five heated pools, 12 bars and lounges, and generous outdoor spaces, you’ll find plenty of room to relax without losing the intimate atmosphere Explora Journeys is known for. The ship is also the first in the fleet powered by LNG, while its attentive hosts provide a highly personalised experience throughout your journey.
You’ll find plenty of ways to relax, recharge and stay entertained on board EXPLORA III. Take a dip in one of five heated pools, unwind in the adults-only Helios Pool & Bar, follow the running track or make use of the indoor and open-air fitness facilities. You can also retreat to Ocean Wellness – The Spa, enjoy the weather-protected Conservatory pool or settle into the Explora Lounge for live jazz and piano in the evening. For something more active, the ship also features a sports court and dedicated spaces for children and teenagers.
Dining aboard EXPLORA III gives you an impressive choice of culinary experiences, with seven restaurants plus additional dining available through the Explora Lounge, Crema Café and 24-hour in-suite dining. You can enjoy everything from Japanese-inspired cuisine at Sakura and Mediterranean flavours at the Med Yacht Club to steak and seafood at Marble & Co. Grill and destination-inspired dishes at Anthology. With flexible dining times and no traditional set dining schedule, you can choose where and when you want to eat throughout your journey.
Your accommodation aboard EXPLORA III is an ocean-front suite, giving you considerably more space and privacy than a traditional cruise cabin. Even the entry-level Ocean Terrace Suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows, a private sun terrace with a dining table and daybed, a separate lounge area, walk-in wardrobe and a minibar replenished according to your preferences. For the ultimate indulgence, the Owner’s Residence spans the full width of the ship and features an expansive private terrace with a whirlpool, outdoor dining and lounging areas, plus a dedicated Residence Manager.
Explora Journeys is best for luxury travellers seeking bespoke experiences, pampering, and exploration aboard intimate ships.
Explora Journeys may not suit budget-conscious travellers seeking economical options. It's tailored for luxury voyagers desiring premium experiences. Those preferring off-the-beaten-path exploration or minimalistic travel may find its offerings excessive.
Explora Journeys cruise ships attract discerning travellers seeking luxury experiences intertwined with cultural immersion. Their clientele typically comprises affluent individuals with a penchant for exploration, aged between 30 to 60, who appreciate fine dining, curated excursions, and personalised service. These voyagers value authenticity, preferring intimate settings over mass tourism, and are often well-travelled, seeking unique destinations and meaningful connections with local communities. Explora Journeys caters to those who crave adventure, comfort, and the opportunity to create lasting memories in elegant surroundings, making it a choice for those who seek refinement and discovery on the high seas.
On an Explora Journeys cruise, there's no formal dress code. While smart casual attire is recommended for dining and public areas, there's no strict requirement for formal wear. Feel comfortable in elegant yet relaxed clothing, suitable for both onboard activities and exploring destinations. Enjoy the freedom to express your style while maintaining a respectful atmosphere onboard.
Explora Journeys cruises offer a nearly all-inclusive experience, covering accommodation, dining, beverages, gratuities, and select shore excursions. However, some premium experiences, such as certain shore excursions, spa treatments, and exclusive dining options, may incur additional charges.

The most exclusive residence on board, the Owner’s Residence, designed by Patricia Urquiola, represents the ultimate expression of modern ocean living: an immersive emotional and sensory journey.
Every surface and detail reflects Patricia Urquiola’s distinctive approach – beauty quietly revealed through texture, proportion, and light.
An expansive terrace stretching across the full width of the aft, invites guests to experience uninterrupted ocean views from the oversized whirlpool, gather around the alfresco dining table, or recline in beautifully appointed outdoor lounge chairs.
Inside, sculptural elegance shapes the atmosphere: oak parquet, refined marbles and a continuous curved boiserie create a fluid sense of movement, enriched by furnishings from Cassina, Kettal and Moroso. A circular dining room for eight flows naturally into the generous living area and bar counter designed for effortless entertaining.
The private bedroom offers panoramic sea views and a peaceful sense of retreat, while the travertine-crafted bathroom features a bathtub, separate shower and a private steam room and a spacious walk-in wardrobe.
