Explora III, the third ship in the Explora Journeys fleet, is set to launch in summer 2026, offering a refined and spacious cruising experience reminiscent of a private yacht. With 463 ocean-front suites, a guest-to-host ratio of 1.25:1, and a design focused on comfort and elegance, the ship promises a luxurious home-away-from-home at sea. Guests can enjoy five heated pools, 12 bars and lounges, and six distinct restaurants, all thoughtfully curated to provide an atmosphere of effortless sophistication.
Explora III offers a variety of activities designed to enrich and entertain guests throughout their journey. The ship features five heated pools, providing ample space for relaxation and leisure. Guests can also explore curated shopping experiences, including luxury boutiques, and participate in wellness programmes that focus on holistic health and rejuvenation. The ship's design encourages a seamless connection with the sea, allowing guests to engage in both active pursuits and tranquil moments.
Culinary excellence is a cornerstone of the Explora III experience, with six restaurants offering a diverse range of global cuisines. Dining venues such as the Marble & Co. Grill and the Asian-fusion Sakura provide guests with a variety of flavours and atmospheres. The ship's wine programme is particularly noteworthy, featuring a selection of hard-to-source wines and older vintages, curated by experts to complement the dining experience. Guests can also participate in wine classes led by professionals, enhancing their appreciation of fine wines.
Accommodation aboard Explora III is designed with comfort and elegance in mind. The Ocean Terrace Suites, among the largest entry-level suites in the industry, feature floor-to-ceiling windows and private sun terraces with dining areas and daybeds, allowing guests to feel closer to the ocean. Each suite includes a lounge area, a walk-in wardrobe with a seated vanity, and a bathroom with a walk-in shower and heated floors. Additional amenities such as a replenished minibar, espresso machine, and a complimentary selection of teas and coffees ensure a luxurious stay.
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.
