About Explora Journeys

A new way to experience the ocean

Explora Journeys is MSC Group's ultra-luxury brand, built from the ground up around a single idea: that the journey itself should be the destination. Ships carry fewer than 1,000 guests with proportionally more space than almost any other ocean liner at sea. Every suite includes a private terrace. Dining spans more than a dozen venues with no surcharges. The all-inclusive price covers premium drinks, gratuities, Wi-Fi, and room service throughout the day. This is unhurried, immersive ocean travel designed for guests who want something genuinely different.

Four ships, one vision

Explora Journeys is expanding rapidly, with four ships either sailing or launching soon. Each ship shares the same residential philosophy while offering unique experiences as the fleet grows.

EXPLORA I

The flagship that launched the brand in 2023. EXPLORA I set the standard for the line's approach to all-suite, all-inclusive ocean travel. With 461 suites spanning nine categories, every cabin includes a private terrace and plenty of space to feel at home. Thirteen pools, eighteen dining and lounge concepts, and a spa spanning two decks give guests more to do, or more reasons to do nothing at all.

EXPLORA II

EXPLORA II joined the fleet in 2024 and sails alongside its sister ship with an identical all-suite layout and the same all-inclusive philosophy. Refined details and an expanded JOURNEYS spa make it a worthy companion. Guests who have sailed both often describe subtle differences in atmosphere and itinerary that make each ship feel distinct, even with so much in common.

EXPLORA III

The first ship in the fleet designed with families in mind, EXPLORA III introduces NAUTILUS, a dedicated youth and teen program, alongside the brand's first conservatory pool. Patricia Urquiola, the acclaimed Italian designer, contributed the Owner's Residence, raising the bar for the line's most exclusive accommodations. Early itineraries include the Caribbean, Alaska, and Northern Europe.

EXPLORA IV

EXPLORA IV will share the same foundational design as EXPLORA III, with the conservatory pool, NAUTILUS program, and Patricia Urquiola's Owner's Residence. As the fourth ship in the fleet, it will open additional homeports and expand Explora Journeys' reach to new regions. Inaugural sailings are expected to include US East Coast and Canada itineraries, making the brand more accessible to North American travelers.

Where You'll Go

Popular destinations

Mediterranean

Santorini, Amalfi, Dubrovnik, Valletta: the Med is Explora Journeys' home territory, and its itineraries go deep into small ports that larger ships skip.

Caribbean

From St. Barts to Barbados, winter Caribbean sailings offer warm weather, crystalline water, and a slower pace that suits the onboard lifestyle perfectly.

Alaska

Glacier Bay, Juneau, and Sitka viewed from a private terrace. EXPLORA III's Alaska itineraries in 2027 bring the brand's residential luxury to the Last Frontier.

Northern Europe

Norwegian fjords, Scottish lochs, and Icelandic coastlines are natural fits for a line that prizes unhurried discovery over port-intensive schedules.

US & Canada East Coast

New York, Nova Scotia, Quebec City, and New England in autumn foliage. EXPLORA IV's inaugural season is expected to include this classic itinerary.

Transatlantic

Crossings between Europe and the Americas offer days at sea to fully immerse in the ship, a rare and underrated experience with Explora Journeys.
