What Comes with Every Explora Journey

Explora Journeys focuses on delivering comfort and convenience through a carefully selected set of inclusions. These features aim to reduce hassle and elevate your time onboard.

Culinary Experiences

Guests enjoy nine distinct dining options, including the convenience of in-suite dining. This variety ensures you can explore different flavors and settings without leaving the ship. Whether you prefer a casual meal or a fine dining experience, the culinary offerings cater to diverse tastes.

Unlimited Beverages

Your journey includes unlimited drinks at any time. This covers:

• Fine wines

• Champagne

• Premium spirits

• Specialty coffees and teas

• Soft drinks

  
  

These beverages are available both in public areas and in your suite, allowing you to relax with your favorite drink whenever you wish.

Welcome Gifts in Your Suite

Upon arrival, you receive a welcome bottle of champagne to celebrate your journey. Additionally, you get to choose one bottle of wine and one bottle of spirit to be stocked in your suite. This personal touch adds to the feeling of being truly cared for from the moment you step onboard.

Wellness and Fitness Access

Explora Journeys includes access to Ocean Wellness – The Spa thermal area, a space designed for relaxation and rejuvenation. The ship also offers group wellness, fitness, and mindfulness activities. These sessions provide opportunities to stay active and centered while enjoying the voyage.

Connectivity and Service

High-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the ship, so you can stay connected without interruption. The hospitality team delivers authentic and intuitive service, ensuring your needs are anticipated and met with care. Onboard gratuities are included, so you don’t need to worry about tipping during your journey.

Transportation and Transfers

Where required and available, shuttle services run from the port to the city center. This service adds convenience when you disembark for excursions or city visits.

Additional Benefits for Higher Suite Categories

Guests staying in Ocean Penthouses and Ocean Residences enjoy extra perks that enhance their experience even further. These benefits include more personalized services and exclusive access to certain areas or events onboard. The higher the suite category, the more refined the experience becomes.

What Is Not Included in Explora Journeys

Understanding what is not part of the all-inclusive package helps you plan your budget and itinerary better.

Destination Experiences

Excursions and destination activities are booked separately. While the ship offers a range of curated experiences at ports of call, these are not included in the base fare. Booking these in advance is recommended to secure your preferred activities.

Although access to the spa’s thermal area is included, individual spa treatments such as massages or facials require an additional fee. These services can be booked onboard or ahead of time depending on availability.

Transfers for Most Guests

How Explora Journeys Stands Out

The all-inclusive model of Explora Journeys focuses on what truly enhances your experience. By including unlimited beverages, diverse dining, wellness access, and gratuities, the journey feels effortless and indulgent. At the same time, separating destination experiences and spa treatments allows guests to customize their adventure without paying for extras they may not want.

This approach balances luxury with flexibility, giving you control over your time and spending while ensuring the essentials are covered.

Tips for Planning Your Explora Journey

• Book destination experiences early to avoid missing out on popular excursions.

• Consider your suite category carefully to understand the additional benefits you will receive.

• Plan spa treatments in advance if you want to enjoy personalized wellness services.

• Arrange transfers ahead if you are not staying in a Residence suite.

• Take advantage of unlimited beverages and dining to explore new tastes and relax fully onboard.
