Discover the Destination You Can’t Forget (Hint: It’s Not on Land)Luxury ocean travel with Explora Journeys is an exceptional experience, with its emphasis on space, design, beauty and connection with the sea. Two ships – EXPLORA I and EXPLORA II – visit a decidedly irresistible lineup of destinations and ports in the Caribbean and Mediterranean. Yet it turns out that Explora Journeys’ ships themselves are the destination, too, with many guests confessing that it’s the time spent onboard that imprints itself most dreamily into their consciousness. Explora Journeys invites guests to discover their ‘Ocean State of Mind’ – a sense of pure possibility and relaxation sensed whilst gazing out at the mysterious, endless sea. This encouragement to transform seems to open guests’ awareness of a sense of place, and a connection to every moment spent onboard that lingers long after a journey ends. Throughout each ship, spaces have been designed to maximise one’s feeling of proximity to the water. Every suite is oceanfront and has a private terrace with comfortable yet elegant furniture that invites relaxation. A plethora of outdoor seating and lounging areas – around the ship’s three outdoor pools and tucked away in seemingly secret nooks – nurture one’s appreciation for thoughtful design, and, more importantly, one’s sense of tranquillity. Nearly every spot inside the 18 onboard bars, lounges, and restaurants brings the sea into perspective, reminding guests that they are not, in fact, in a luxury hotel, which is easy to imagine, but instead gliding through the infinitely blue sea on a uniquely vibrant, cosmopolitan vessel.

The experience and artistry of Explora Journeys’ culinary and beverage experts results in immersive dining experiences such as Sakura’s Pan-Asian cuisine, Fil Rouge’s French-inspired international cuisine, Marble & Co. Grill’s redefined European steakhouse experience, and more. Beyond what’s included, guests can also experience Anthology’s elevated Italian cuisine in an unparalleled gastronomic adventure, and culinary classes at Chef’s Kitchen. At Emporium Marketplace, an abundance of globally inspired preparations for breakfast, lunch and dinner ranges from the sumptuous to the health-conscious, with mouthwatering homemade pastas and pizzas, exquisite sushi and ceviche, and an evolving array of plant-based options. Ocean Wellness, inspired by the sea and its natural healing properties, aims to nurture a sense of well-being and foster rejuvenation, through spa treatments, the thermal spa, and individual and group fitness opportunities. Even for those who have experienced travel in the Mediterranean or the Caribbean, being there with Explora Journeys’ ships – destinations unto themselves – is a decidedly richer way to visit and revisit new and beloved locales. The ‘Ocean State of Mind’, found only within the haven of Explora Journeys’ stunning hotel-like ships, is perhaps the most desirable aspect of this unexpected destination.
