Life on Explora

Explora Journeys

Explora Journeys represents the ambition and long-held dream of the MSC Group and the Aponte family to redefine luxury ocean travel for discerning luxury travellers.

OCEAN STATE OF MIND

The oceans connect you with yourself, people and the places around you. It relaxes you, and creates an energy in you that inspires inner and outer discovery, broadens horizons and triggers new connections.

Dining

A diversity of culinary riches with cuisine covering all corners of the globe. Explora Journeys brings personality, sophistication and a dash of soul to dining at sea.

Worldly, sophisticated, and well-travelled, with European panache, our culinary and beverage experts bring together an abundance of experience and artistry to the curation of immersive dining experiences. Our team brings enthusiasm for provenance along with a plethora of stories about the rare ingredients, which are hand-selected just for Explora Journeys.
