About Explora I

EXPLORA I is Explora Journeys’ first luxury cruise ship, delivered by Fincantieri in 2023. Designed as a spacious, yacht-inspired floating hotel, it carries about 900 guests in 461 ocean-front suites supported by approximately 640 team members. The ship emphasizes privacy, generous indoor and outdoor public areas, destination-focused travel, and a relaxed European style rather than the scale and intensity of mainstream mega-ships.

Onboard Experience

Signature highlights

The ship offers 461 ocean-front suites, extensive public space, multiple pools, a 250-metre outdoor running track, and a high guest-to-host service ratio. Fourteen decks support a relatively intimate luxury-cruise experience.

Dining

EXPLORA I has 11 distinct culinary experiences, including Anthology, Sakura, Marble & Co. Grill, Fil Rouge, Med Yacht Club, Emporium Marketplace, and in-suite dining.

Entertainment

Entertainment includes live music, DJ sessions, enrichment programming, cinema presentations under the stars, lounges, and the Conservatory Pool & Bar, which functions as a cinema venue at night.

Staterooms & suites

The ship has 461 ocean-front suites, including an Owner’s Residence, Ocean Residences, Ocean Penthouses, and Ocean Suites. All suites include floor-to-ceiling windows and a private terrace; 82 are designed to support multi-generational connecting arrangements.

For families

The 82 multi-generational connecting suites provide the clearest family-oriented accommodation feature. The ship otherwise focuses on an adult-oriented luxury-hotel atmosphere rather than extensive children’s facilities.

Pools, spa & wellness

Ocean Wellness includes an indoor and outdoor spa and wellness area of more than 700 square metres, along with pools, whirlpools, a running track, and fitness facilities.

Accessibility

The ship includes accessible suite accommodations, with the operator’s materials identifying 11 suites with accessibility features.

Environmental features

Environmental features include shore-to-ship power connectivity, advanced wastewater treatment, ballast-water treatment, selective catalytic reduction, energy-efficient equipment, optimized hull hydrodynamics, recycling systems, and reduced-underwater-noise certification.
