Explora Journeys represents the ambition and long-held dream of the MSC Group and the Aponte-Vago family to create a transformative luxury ocean travel experience and brand that redefines the luxury cruise category. With two ships currently exploring the world, four more sister ships are scheduled to be launched by the year of 2028.
The concept: Vibrant, cosmopolitan, relaxed European luxury at sea. Instead of cruises, we create journeys – of the mind, and across the oceans of the world, to destinations on and off the beaten track.
On board: Spaces that offer guests relaxed luxury, creating a home at sea. Restoring life’s essential balance with a combination of discovery and appreciation for wellbeing and nature. This is what our new discerning travellers have asked for and this is what they will enjoy on Explora Journeys.
Redefining the essence of ultra-elegant ocean travel, her inaugural journeys will draw new maps in treasured coastlines, from the dramatic landscapes of Northern Europe and the Baltic Sea, to the captivating beauty of Iceland and Greenland and the vibrant shores of North America’s East Coast and New England.
Alaska is vast, wildly remote and striking with its true raw beauty. From blue-ice glaciers to hulking brown and black bears, we sail the Whale’s Highway to encounter humpbacks, orcas, dolphins and seals.
Celebrating its enduring allure while embracing the contrasts of Eastand West,tracing storied coastlines and revealing both charismatic cities and lesser-travelled destinations. Thoughtfully crafted with flexibility and extended stays, our journeys allow for a gentler pace and deeper immersion, inviting deeper immersion at a slower pace — to savour golden hours that feel timeless.
Where the world’s finest ships, state-of-the-art amenities and an unmatched list of inclusions redefine the notion of luxury at sea—every detail curated to be unforgettable.
