EXPLORA I falls somewhere between a superyacht and a boutique hotel – it’s elegant, refined, quietly sophisticated and truly beautiful. Explora Journeys have spent time talking to travellers and deciphering what is important to them so you can expect a ship full of luxurious and thoughtful touches. Exceptional service is the standard thanks to a high crew-to-guest ratio (one of the highest in the industry) and you’ll have four swimming pools and more than 27,000-square-feet of outdoor deck space with 64 private cabanas, hot tubs, and a large screen for Movies Under the Stars to entertain you while on board.
The 18 food and beverage venues will include five all-inclusive, vibrant restaurants and one additional paid venue. Delight in live cooking stations in the Emporium Marketplace, enjoy the laidback vibes of the Med Yacht Club, feast on delicious steaks at the Marble & Co. Grill steakhouse, dine on international dishes at French-influenced Fil Rouge and explore Pan-Asian cuisine at Sakura.
Step on board EXPLORA I and begin your transformative journey, as you experience ultra-luxury service, inspiring destination experiences and enriching entertainment.
With a talented and passionate team of well-travelled culinary experts, you can enjoy one of the most immersive and diverse dining experiences at sea.
