Background
EXPLORA I
Overview
EXPLORA I, the first of six luxury best-in-class ships, set sail in 2023, with the remaining ships ready to set sail in 2024, 2026, 2027 and 2028.

Immerse yourself in all of the detail behind the Explora Journeys ships, from design and architecture, to safety and technology features.

Exquisitely designed with the guest and relaxed, home-like comfort in mind - and in partnership with the world’s foremost superyacht and luxury hospitality designers - the innovative ship seamlessly blends elegant Swiss precision with modern European craftsmanship and vibrant design.

Water as a focal point

Fourteen decks provide ample indoor public space, maximising guest choice and create areas of quiet seclusion and privacy. Generous outdoor decks will boast more than 2,500 sqm (26,909 sq ft) delivering stunning views of the sea, with 64 private cabanas across 3 outdoor pools.

A fourth pool, with a retractable glass roof, allows swimming and poolside relaxation in any weather.

Combined with various indoor and outdoor whirlpool baths on the ship’s promenade deck, the ship has been designed with water as a real focal point of the onboard experience - helping our guests discover their ocean state of mind.

Homes at sea

With 461 oceanfront suites and residences, guests can enjoy feeling closer to the sea and in port thanks to their floor-to-ceiling windows and personal private terrace. Suites will start at 35 sqm (377 sq ft) which makes them among the most spacious for the luxury cruise category.

Kids & Teens
Multigenerational Travel: Explora Journeys extends a very special welcome to families with a dedicated programme that caters for multi-generations travelling together.
 
Offering 78 interconnecting suites, a Nautilus Club for young and teenagers, and special destination experiences created to maximise enjoyment for all generations, families embarking on the trip of a lifetime on board EXPLORA I and EXPLORA II can expect an inspiring journey and wonderful memories.
 
Our interconnecting suites allow families the freedom to create their own ‘home at sea’ with all the privacy they require. Of course, groups don’t come in standard sizes, so families can choose a permutation that will give them the space they need. Thoughtful touches abound, such as dedicated bathrobes, slippers and hangers to make younger guests feel special; even tiny travellers will feel cosy with amenities such as baby cribs and bedlinens, blankets and baby pillows.
 
The attractions of Nautilus Club guarantee that it will quickly become a hub for young and teenagers aged 6–17. Open every day from 9:00 to midnight, Nautilus Club offers the latest generation of video games and VR consoles, such as PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR2, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, iPads and Oculus Pro.
 
Your children will love the foosball and multi game table, the pool table, a modern jukebox tablet connected to streaming platforms such as Spotify and Apple, plus a vast selection of board games. We even have a digital library with a wide genre of books across a multitude of languages. The space also offers sports sessions, technology tournaments, painting, arts and crafts, along with games throughout the ship. Alternatively, guests can quite simply chill with their new friends.
 
Throughout, they will be vigilantly led by Nautilus Club hosts certified in safeguarding children and following CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association) policies and standards on youth activities. 
 
Even little guests aged 3 to 5 (accompanied by a parent or guardian) are welcome at Nautilus Club. They will find time slots exclusively dedicated to their age group, packed with exciting activities created specifically for them. And although the very youngest travellers aged 6 to 24 months are too tiny to join the fun at the Club, they haven’t been forgotten: there are age-appropriate toys to entertain them in their suites.  
 
In partnership with the MSC Foundation, Nautilus Club gives young ambassadors for the environment an incredible activity programme focused on caring for planet Earth and its oceans. Expertly designed to engage, fascinate and inform lively young minds, these include immersive workshops and discussions on marine conservation, environmental footprint, the sustainable practices employed on board Explora Journeys’ ships, the impact of tourism, and community support.
