Meet our partners: Explora Journeys

While Explora Journeys may technically be a luxury cruise, it’s more of an ultra-luxurious resort on the water that rivals the inland resorts of names like Rosewood, Four Seasons, and Belmond when it comes to style, facilities, and atmosphere.

A trip with Explora Journeys entails European luxury and a cosmopolitan lifestyle with 5-star dining, shopping, and wellness facilities. Expect culinary delights from the far corners of the globe, spa experiences that will leave you feeling truly rejuvenated, and high-end boutiques displaying luxury goods ranging from Swiss watches and fine jewelry to artisanal delights.

Complementing the vast array of high-end facilities aboard Explora Journeys are exceptional entertainment options that promise to feed the soul and create special moments of togetherness. When you need a break from cosmopolitan life for a bit of precious you time, you can retreat to your ocean-front suite, penthouse or residence,  whose style draws inspiration from classic European elegance with a focus on simplicity and comfort to provide you with a true ‘Home at Sea’.

Making your voyage even more special is that all-inclusive trips with Explora Journeys include an in-suite welcome bottle of bubbly, your choice of wine and spirits (one bottle of each), unlimited refills of alcohol, soft drinks, and hot drinks, and nine unique culinary experiences. You’ll also get unlimited access to the spa thermal area as well as a program of wellness and fitness sessions on your journey and at each destination. Where available, shuttle services from the city center to the port are also included.

Being at the forefront of redefined classic luxury means being committed to sustainability, diversity, and inclusivity, which Explora Journeys holds close to its heart as key values. On each voyage with Explora Journeys, you can attend special gatherings such as Club Soda, which provides those who don’t drink alcohol with a chance to mingle, and the Solivagant Society, where solo travelers can get together. Prism is just one of the meetings on Explora Journeys geared towards the LGBTQ+ community. On top of everything, MSC Group through its MSC Foundation operates and supports a host of charitable initiatives.

Explora Journeys endeavors to craft travel itineraries that include a combination of lesser-known destinations and some of the world’s most celebrated ports.

Currently, one of the most exciting voyages takes you on a trip along the Panama Canal to the picturesque islands of the Lesser Antilles in the Southern Caribbean. Expect idyllic harbors, pink-sand and white-sand beaches galore, and the chance to spot wildlife such as vivid flamingos.

If you’re more interested in discovering the islands of the Cyclades and the coastlines of the Mediterranean, consider booking A Journey Pulled by Greek Fates to Croatian Shores, where you’ll soak up Croatian destinations like the red-roofed Split, Dubrovnik, and the stunning Rovinj. You may also enjoy A Journey of Mykonos Sunsets and Macedonia Kingdoms, which includes stops at Thessaloniki, Skiathos, and Kavala.

Last but certainly not least on our list of favorite Explora getaways is A Journey to Elegant Enclaves on Old European Shores, which includes a voyage by the beaches of Spain, an overnight soiree in Ibiza, and stops at Monte Carlo, Rome, Portofino, Port-Vendres, and more.
