EXPLORA III

Explora III builds on the award-winning design of her sister ships with a series of refinements inspired by guest feedback. The ship is almost 20 metres longer, allowing for expanded public spaces without increasing guest capacity. New features include Shore Club on 11, a dedicated Wine Cellar, a larger Conservatory pool, a redesigned Lobby Bar and an integrated Ocean Wellness Centre and Fitness Centre.

Your fare includes all-suite accommodation, dining across six restaurants, premium beverages including champagne, fine wines and spirits, gratuities, high-speed Wi-Fi, in-suite dining and access to the ship’s wellness and fitness facilities. Anthology is the only restaurant that carries a supplementary charge, while selected spa treatments and shore excursions are available at an additional cost.

The Ocean Terrace Suites provide exceptional value and are among the most spacious entry-level suites in luxury cruising. Ocean Penthouses offer larger living areas and more premium deck locations, while the Ocean Residences and Owner’s Residence provide apartment-style accommodation with expansive terraces and additional personalised service. Our Voyage Consultants can help you choose the category best suited to your style of travel.

Explora Journeys describes its experience as all-inclusive, and for most guests very little is paid for once on board. Dining, premium drinks, gratuities, Wi-Fi and in-suite dining are all included in your fare. The principal extras are shore excursions, spa treatments, boutique purchases and dining at Anthology.

Yes, although the ship is designed primarily with adults in mind. Families travelling during school holidays can make use of the expanded Nautilus Club, where younger guests enjoy supervised activities, gaming areas and organised events throughout the voyage. The family facilities are thoughtfully integrated without changing the ship’s relaxed atmosphere.

Explora III spends her inaugural seasons exploring destinations including the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Alaska, the Caribbean and Asia. Her itineraries focus on longer stays in port and a relaxed pace, allowing guests more time to experience each destination.

Explora III accommodates up to 922 guests, served by an exceptionally high crew-to-guest ratio. Despite carrying a similar number of passengers to her sister ships, the vessel is almost 20 metres longer, creating even more personal space throughout the public areas.

Explora III occupies a distinctive position within the luxury cruise market. Compared with traditional luxury lines such as Silversea or Regent Seven Seas Cruises, the atmosphere is noticeably more contemporary and resort-like, with spacious suites, multiple pools and an emphasis on outdoor living. Guests looking for a relaxed, design-led experience often find Explora Journeys offers something refreshingly different.

Demand for Explora III has been exceptionally strong since launch, particularly for Alaska, Asia and peak Mediterranean departures. Booking early gives you the widest choice of suite categories, departure dates and early booking offers, with reduced deposits often available on selected sailings.

Our team has experienced Explora III first-hand, allowing us to offer practical advice on everything from suite locations and dining reservations to life on board. We also have access to a range of exclusive Explora Journeys offers, preferential fares and added-value promotions, helping you secure the best possible value for your voyage.
