Explora III - Cruise Ship from Explora Journeys

Designed to evoke the feeling of being onboard a private yacht, EXPLORA III – the newest addition in our modern fleet of luxury ships, sailing in Summer 2026 – offers a haven at sea. A floating home-away-from-home, where thoughtful design and an abundance of space create an atmosphere of effortless elegance.

At the heart of the experience are our spacious Homes at Sea. Each of our Ocean Suites, Penthouses, and Residences is a truly serene retreat, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows bathing the space in light, opening onto generous private terraces, complete with daybeds and a dining area, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Inside, every detail has been considered, including a walk-in wardrobe with seated vanity area, luxurious bathrooms with custom toiletries, fine linens, and the effortless, impeccable service of our Perfect Hosts.

Elsewhere, the ship’s sprawling outdoor decks and wealth of beautifully designed public spaces ensure discerning travellers are able to unwind, connect, or take in ocean views at every opportunity.

From award-winning culinary offerings and vibrant bars and lounges to ocean-inspired wellness and meticulously curated entertainment, every aspect is tailored to inspire and delight.

The new wellness area includes Ocean Wellness – The Spa, a tranquil sanctuary offering experiences inspired by the power of the sea, as well as a state-of-the-art Fitness Centre and Fitness Studio, created in partnership with Technogym and featuring the most advanced training equipment. Completing the fitness experience is the one-of-a-kind Open Air Fitness space on Deck 14, where guests can train outdoors while taking in the views across the water.

The Nautilus Club on EXPLORA III has been enhanced with dedicated spaces and thoughtfully curated experiences for teens and children, where a team of expert hosts will make sure to create unforgettable moments for younger guests.

Crafted with sustainability in mind, EXPLORA III is the first LNG-powered ship in our fleet, reflecting our conscious approach to modern ship design, embodying the harmony of innovation, and our deep care for the oceans and the unique destinations that we explore.
