Launched in summer 2024, Explora IV continues MSC Group’s ambitious expansion into the world of ultra-luxury exploration. As part of the growing Explora Journeys fleet, it delivers an elevated travel experience across a wide range of destinations.

Featuring 18 venues, including five complimentary restaurants serving international cuisine inspired by its destinations, Explora IV delivers a rich culinary experience.

Thoughtful touches such as Steinway pianos and sustainable technologies further elevate the onboard experience.
Indulge in exquisite dining aboard Explora IV, featuring five inclusive restaurants with a variety of global cuisines. Savour Mediterranean seafood at Med Yacht Club or grilled favourites at Marble & Co. Grill, each offering a unique culinary adventure. Enjoy live cooking stations, prime aged steaks, and pan-Asian dishes, all served in elegant surroundings with attentive service.
Enjoy exceptional comfort aboard Explora IV with 461 all-terrace suites, each featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and a private veranda.

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.
