Explora Journeys

Explora Journeys, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, is the luxury lifestyle brand launched by the MSC Group to redefine the ocean cruise experience for modern travellers. Designed as floating resorts, Explora’s ships emphasise space, privacy and connection to the sea, carrying just over 900 guests in an environment that blends contemporary design with a relaxed, resort-style ambience.

Onboard design is rooted in European sophistication. Suites, all oceanfront with private terraces, are among the largest in the segment, offering intuitive layouts and elegant finishes. Public areas are expansive yet intimate, with multiple dining venues, lounges and wellness spaces carefully curated to encourage both sociability and seclusion. Dining spans 11 culinary options, from Mediterranean-inspired restaurants to pan-Asian concepts, with menus reflecting global influences and sustainable sourcing. Wellness is central, with a large indoor-outdoor spa, fitness studios and mindful programming.

Destination immersion is positioned as seamless and enriching. Shore programs emphasise authentic engagement, from vineyard tastings and cultural performances to guided hikes and ocean-based adventures. The brand favours longer stays and overnight calls in port, allowing guests to experience destinations at a natural rhythm rather than in hurried snapshots. Onboard enrichment programs extend the sense of discovery with expert lectures, culinary demonstrations and cultural events.

Explora Journeys positions itself as a contemporary expression of luxury ocean travel, appealing to travellers who value space, design and lifestyle. Its fleet represents a new generation of ships where sustainability is integral: advanced hybrid-ready energy systems, reduced emissions technologies and waste management practices are core to operations.

With its balance of European design, lifestyle-led programming and sustainable innovation, Explora Journeys offers a distinct alternative in the luxury cruise space, bridging the worlds of yachting, resorts and traditional cruising.
