Ultra-Luxury
Explora Journeys
MSC's ultra-luxury brand. Six ships planned, the largest suites at sea, and nine culinary experiences per voyage.
An Ocean State of Mind
Explora Journeys was built from scratch — literally designed around 20,000 conversations with luxury travelers about what they actually want. The answer: more space, more choice, more privacy, and an all-inclusive experience that doesn’t feel packaged. MSC’s 300-year maritime pedigree gives it the operational backbone; everything else feels refreshingly new. Right now, they’re offering up to 30% off select voyages — strong intro pricing on a brand that’s positioning itself to compete with Regent and Silversea.
Space That Sets Records
Every suite on EXPLORA I and EXPLORA II starts at 377 square feet of combined indoor and outdoor space — the largest lead-in category in ultra-luxury cruising. With 461 oceanfront suites and nine culinary experiences per ship, the ratio of space-to-guest is genuinely unmatched. For tech executives used to first-class everything, this is the ship that won’t disappoint.
Deeper Destinations
Explora doesn’t rush. Itineraries are designed for slower, more immersive travel with overnight stays in port and off-the-beaten-path calls. Voyages run 7 nights and extend seamlessly to 14 or 21 for guests who aren’t in a hurry — and the best ones rarely are. You’ll find them in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Northern Europe, and increasingly in Iceland and the British Isles.
Destinations & Experiences
If you’re comparing ultra-luxury lines, Explora sits at the intersection of luxury ocean cruising and culinary journeys — nine restaurants per ship, no surcharges, and menus that change with every port. Their Mediterranean itineraries with overnight stays in ports like Dubrovnik and Santorini give you time to actually experience a place, not just photograph it from the gangway.
Switch Without Starting Over
Already loyal to another ultra-luxury line? Explora’s status-matching program recognizes your tier from Crystal, Silversea, Regent, Seabourn, Ponant, and several others, so you don’t lose the perks you’ve earned.
Why Book Through Travel Tamers
We’ve got a direct line to Explora’s dedicated BDM, which means priority suite holds and faster confirmations. We’ll secure the best available suite category, handle status matching, and coordinate any pre- or post-voyage extensions. With up to 30% off current sailings, the timing’s right to try something new.
