Frequently Asked Questions

Explora Journeys is the luxury ocean travel brand created by the MSC Group, one of the world’s largest privately owned shipping and logistics companies. Launched in 2023 with EXPLORA I, it represents a completely new approach to luxury cruising, blending European elegance, contemporary design, and a philosophy of personal freedom they call “The Ocean State of Mind.” The brand was built from the ground up to appeal to travelers who want sophisticated ocean travel without the formality and rigid schedules of traditional luxury lines.

Explora Journeys fares include all ocean-front suites with private terraces, multiple dining experiences across restaurants and bars, premium beverages including fine wines and spirits, unlimited Wi-Fi, gratuities, in-suite dining and minibar, and access to wellness and fitness facilities. Select shore excursions and premium spa treatments may be available at additional cost. When you book through Harr Travel, you also benefit from our exclusive rates, personalized service and no booking fees – ever.

Explora Journeys offers a range of accommodations – all ocean-front with private terraces. Categories include Ocean Terrace suites (starting at approximately 377 sq ft including terrace), Ocean Grand Terrace suites, Ocean Penthouse suites, Ocean Residence suites, and the extraordinary Owner’s Residences spanning over 3,000 sq ft. Every suite features walk-in wardrobes, luxurious bathrooms, European king-size beds, and elegant contemporary design. There are no inside cabins aboard any Explora Journeys ship.

Explora Journeys features 18 distinct dining and beverage experiences, all included in your fare. Highlights include Anthology (rotating global menus), Sakura (Japanese-inspired fine dining), Fil Rouge (European brasserie), Marble & Co. Grill (premium steakhouse), Emporium Marketplace (indoor-outdoor global flavors), and Med Yacht Club (poolside Mediterranean cuisine). There are no fixed dining times and no assigned seating – you have complete freedom to dine when and where you choose. In-suite dining is also available around the clock.

Explora Journeys offers itineraries across the Mediterranean (including the Western and Eastern Mediterranean), Northern Europe, the Caribbean, South America, and Transatlantic crossings. As the fleet grows, destinations are expected to expand further. Itineraries are designed with a focus on cultural immersion and extended port stays, often with later departures so guests can experience destinations more deeply, including the nightlife and evening culture of each port.

EXPLORA I launched in July 2023 and EXPLORA II debuted in 2024. EXPLORA III was delivered in summer of 2026 and EXPLORA IV in 2027, with the fleet planned to grow to 6 vessels. Each ship accommodates approximately 922 guests across 461 ocean-front suites and residences, ensuring an intimate and spacious experience.

Explora Journeys embraces a relaxed, contemporary approach to onboard attire. There are no formal nights or strict dress codes. The atmosphere is stylish resort-casual for daytime, elegant casual for evenings. Think smart and sophisticated without the tuxedos and gowns. It is part of the brand’s freedom-first philosophy, allowing you to focus on enjoying the experience rather than worrying about what to wear.

The Ocean Wellness & Spa by Explora spans over 10,000 square feet and offers a comprehensive wellness experience including holistic treatments, thermal areas, saunas, steam rooms, a snow room, and dedicated fitness facilities. The ships also feature four swimming pools – including an adults-only pool and an indoor pool – plus expansive outdoor decks with generous lounging areas. The wellness philosophy extends beyond the spa with healthy dining options, outdoor fitness areas, and a focus on overall well-being throughout the journey.

While Explora Journeys primarily appeals to couples and discerning adult travelers, children are welcome aboard. The ships offer connecting suites ideal for families, and there are activities and entertainment suitable for younger guests during holiday and summer sailings. However, this is not a kids-club-focused cruise line – the atmosphere is sophisticated and designed for guests who value tranquility, space, and refined experiences. For multi-generational family trips, our advisors can help you determine if Explora Journeys is the right fit.

Explora Journeys stands apart with its brand-new ships (no refurbished vessels), one of the highest space-to-guest ratios at sea, all ocean-front suites with private terraces (no inside cabins), 18 included dining and beverage experiences, no fixed schedules or formal dress codes, and a European-inspired design philosophy. The brand was created for a new generation of luxury traveler – one who would rather explore a port at their own pace than follow a fixed schedule, and who values understated sophistication over traditional cruise conventions.

When you book Explora Journeys through Harr Travel, you get access to exclusive rates and personalized service. Our advisors have sailed these ships firsthand and will recommend a suite perfect for your travel style, along with destination guidance based on real experience – not brochure copy. With support from your first inquiry through your welcome home call, you are never on your own.
