On the Water

Explora Journeys is the privately-owned luxury lifestyle brand of the MSC Group, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, created at the heart of Swiss luxury hospitality. The brand stems from the owners’ long-held vision to redefine the ocean experience for a new generation of discerning luxury travellers, drawing on the family’s 300 years of maritime heritage. The brand’s aspiration is to create a unique ‘Ocean State of Mind’ by connecting guests with the sea, with themselves, and like-minded others, while remarkable itineraries will blend renowned destinations with lessertravelled ports, for a journey that inspires discovery in all its forms. A fleet of six ships, two of which are under construction, will be launched from 2023 to 2028. Equipped with the latest environmental and marine technologies, Explora Journeys will introduce a new style of transformative ocean travel. Whether on board or ashore, guests will reconnect with what matters most -themselves, their loved ones, and the world around them. EXPLORA I offers 461 oceanfront suites, penthouses and residences designed to be ‘Homes at Sea’ for their guests, all with sweeping ocean views from their floor-to-ceiling windows and private sun terraces offering unrivalled space and privacy. More than 27,000 sq feet of outdoor space includes three swimming pools and 64 private cabanas, plus an indoor pool with a retractable glass roof, and 9,700 sq feet for the spa and fitness studios ensuring guests can do as much (or as little) as they like. Each guest will be spoilt for choice with sophisticated, varied experiences across 18 food and beverage venues including six restaurants, five bars and lounges plus in-suite dining, and curated, redefined entertainment in multiple venues. With sailings between five and 52 nights long, Explora Journeys’ Inaugural collection covers Northern Europe, Iceland and Greenland, USA and Canada, the Caribbean, Pacific Coast and Hawaii and the Mediterranean.
