Explora Dining & Restaurant Guide

Navigating Explora Journeys restaurants & dining excellence

Dining on Explora Journeys is one of the most talked-about parts of the experience. Six restaurants, all included in your fare, each with a genuinely distinct identity. No cover charges, no hidden costs, no pressure to book the premium venue to eat well. This guide covers every dining venue, when to reserve, and how the experience compares to other lines.

The six included restaurants

Anthology

The fine dining destination on the ship. Tasting menus designed in collaboration with world-renowned guest chefs, with carefully curated wine pairings and an intimate setting. Reservations are essential. Our Explora Journeys expert guide includes Jess’s personal dining tips across all venues.

Sakura

Asian-inspired dining covering Japanese, Thai, and wider Eastern influences. Fresh sushi, expertly prepared sashimi, and fragrant noodle dishes. Walk-in for lunch, when the menu differs pleasantly from the evening service. Reservations are recommended for dinner. On Explora I, this is consistently one of the most popular venues on board.

Med Yacht Club

A relaxed, tapas-style venue celebrating Mediterranean flavours. Fresh seafood, vibrant salads, and shared plates. One of the most used venues on the ship for good reason, equally suited to a leisurely lunch or a sociable evening.

Emporium Marketplace

The ship’s upscale food hall with live cooking stations and a broad selection across breakfast, lunch, and lighter meals. Made-to-order pasta cooked in front of you is a highlight that guests consistently mention.

Marble & Co. Grill

A modern steakhouse with premium cuts, refined sides, and a sleek setting. Suits guests who want something more structured and indulgent for an evening. Reservations are recommended.

Fil Rouge

French-inspired cuisine in an elegant setting. Classic techniques, refined presentation, and a menu that changes to reflect the itinerary. A quieter venue and particularly suited to a more intimate dinner.

Drinks, room service, and what is included

All drinks are included in your Explora Journeys fare: fine wines, premium spirits, cocktails, and soft drinks across all venues throughout the day and evening. In-suite dining is available and included with the full menu during restaurant hours and a lighter menu overnight. Wi-Fi and gratuities are also covered.

How does Explora Journeys compare to other luxury lines for dining?

The six-restaurant model with no cover charges puts Explora Journeys ahead of lines that charge for specialty dining. Compared to Silversea and Seabourn, the venue variety is broader and the hotel-inspired design of each restaurant gives each space a genuine standalone identity.
