Explora Journeys is a luxury, all-suite line from the MSC Group, with fewer than 1,000 guests on each ship and most extras already in your fare. Every suite faces the ocean and has a private terrace.

Who Explora Journeys suits
Couples, empty-nesters and travelers who want a quiet, upscale ship with lots of space and great food, without casinos or big crowds. It’s a step up from premium lines like Celebrity. Families are welcome, but it isn’t built around kids.
The ships
Each Explora ship holds about 922 guests in ocean-front suites, penthouses and residences. Explora I and Explora II were the first two. Explora III joined the fleet in summer 2026, and Explora IV is due in 2027, with more ships after that.
Where it sails
In winter, Explora sails the Caribbean, with many journeys starting or ending in Miami or San Juan. That makes it easy to fly from Orlando. In summer, the ships head to the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and other regions. Explora cancelled its 2026–27 Middle East season, so we’ll make sure any itinerary you like is confirmed before you book.
What’s included
- Meals in most restaurants, plus 24-hour in-suite dining.
- Unlimited fine wines, spirits and other drinks.
- High-speed Wi-Fi.
- Thermal spa access and fitness classes.
- All onboard gratuities.
Extras include Anthology (the one specialty restaurant with a fee), shore excursions, spa treatments and top-shelf bottles beyond the included list.
