Cruise Line

Explora Journeys is the new luxury lifestyle travel brand launched by the MSC Group with the ambition to redefine the luxury cruise category.

The concept: Vibrant, cosmopolitan, relaxed European luxury at sea. Instead of cruises, we create journeys – of the mind, and across the oceans of the world. Visits to places on and off the beaten track.

On board: Spaces that offer guests relaxed luxury, creating a home at sea. Restoring life’s essential balance with a combination of discovery and appreciation for wellbeing and nature. This is what our new discerning travellers have asked for and this is what they will enjoy on Explora Journeys.

Beyond Boundaries

Soul-stirring experiences that touch the impossible, from the thrill of supersonic speed to the deepest fathoms of ocean trenches.

Our Beyond Boundaries experiences answer that call where opportunities into the unchartered promise profound and personal enrichment.

Whether you seek the thrill of supersonic speed, the silence of polar mountain peaks, the deepest fathoms of ocean trenches, the sense of awe from meeting world-leading intellects and artisans.

These experiences are more than one-off wonderments

They are soul-stirring achievements that will forever influence your perspective of the world and your role within it.

The only remaining question is how far do you dare to go to close the distance between your dreams and reality?

Explora Journeys is poised to redefine luxury ocean travel for the next generation of discerning luxury travellers. The brands mission is to offer our guests a chance to experience an `Ocean State of Mind`, a mindset created when we escape to the ocean, relax, create memories and reconnect with what matters most in our lives. We offer an ocean escape that celebrates discovery, across three levels, social discovery, active discovery and self discovery. Our European family roots and sense of style is reflected in the modern, cosmopolitan , boutique hotel vibe of our ships. Vibrant yet intimate. The customer centric nature of our brand ensures our guests and travel advisor community
