A New Standard of Luxury at Sea

Step aboard Explora II, and you’ll immediately notice the attention to detail. With 461 oceanfront suites, each boasting floor-to-ceiling windows and a private terrace, you’re never more than a glance away from breathtaking sea views. It’s not just about the space; it’s about the experience. Every suite is designed with comfort in mind, featuring plush bedding, a personalized mini-bar, and a spacious bathroom with a walk-in shower and soaking tub.

Culinary Delights That Rival the World’s Best Restaurants

Dining on the Explora II is a gastronomic journey in itself. With 11 dining experiences that range from immersive culinary theatre to intimate specialty restaurants, there’s something to tantalize every palate. Imagine savouring the freshest seafood at the Mediterranean-inspired Med Yacht Club or indulging in innovative Asian fusion dishes at Sakura. Even the more casual spots like the Emporium Marketplace serve up gourmet experiences, with fresh ingredients and dishes prepared right before your eyes. 

Wellness and Entertainment: More Than Just a Cruise

Explora II goes beyond the traditional cruise activities with a focus on wellness and personal enrichment. Rejuvenate at the Wellness Spa, offering everything from deep-tissue massages to tailored wellness programs designed to keep you feeling your best. Fitness enthusiasts will love the onboard fitness studio, outdoor sports court, and group classes like sunrise yoga on deck. For those looking to expand their horizons, there are immersive enrichment programs, cooking classes, and exclusive shore excursions that dive deep into the culture of each destination.

Explore Destinations Like Never Before

Explora II’s itineraries are designed to take you off the beaten path. Think of intimate ports and lesser-known locales that larger ships simply can’t reach. Explore the volcanic landscapes of the Azores, the charming coastal towns of the Mediterranean, or the remote islands of the Caribbean. Each destination is curated to offer an authentic experience, allowing you to immerse yourself in local culture, cuisine, and traditions. Imagine exploring hidden beaches, visiting local markets with an onboard chef, or enjoying private after-hours tours of iconic landmarks.

Let’s Get You Sailing

From sun-soaked days at sea to culturally rich excursions onshore, every moment is designed to inspire. Ready to set sail on an experience like no other?
