Self-Service Laundry Facilities

Explora Journeys provides two guest launderettes located on Deck 9 and Deck 10. These facilities are equipped with washing machines and dryers that guests can use at no extra cost. The machines come with hypoallergenic detergent, making them suitable for sensitive skin and ensuring your clothes are cleaned gently yet effectively.

• Location: Deck 9 and Deck 10

• Cost: Complimentary use

• Detergent: Hypoallergenic, included

These launderettes offer a practical solution for guests who prefer to manage their laundry independently. The machines are user-friendly, and the environment is designed for comfort and convenience. You can wash and dry your clothes at your own pace without worrying about additional fees.

Ironing Facilities and Safety Measures

For safety reasons, Explora Journeys does not provide irons or ironing boards in Suites. However, if you need to press your clothes, both laundry rooms on Deck 9 and Deck 10 have irons and ironing boards available for guest use.

This approach balances guest convenience with onboard safety protocols. If you require assistance with ironing or have specific garment care needs, your Suite or Residence Hosts are ready to help.
