Explora Journeys: we start in 2023

Explora Journeys is the new luxury travel brand launched by the MSC Group with the ambition to redefine the luxury cruise category. MSC's Explora Journeys concept of refined luxury starts from the idea of ​​travel - rather than cruises - and is relaxed, cosmopolitan and vibrant, taking you to places off the beaten track and creating a real beach house on board. For discerning travellers, Explora Journeys cruises aim to restore the essential balance of life by creating a combination of discovery, well-being and nature. An emotional connection between oneself, people and places around called the Ocean State of Mind. The journey of Explora Journeys begins in May 2023, when Explora I, the first of the four ships in the fleet built by Fincantieri, will enter service. Delivery of the next three vessels is scheduled for 2024, 2025 and 2026.

Explora Journeys: prices and destinations

The Explora Journeys name is inspired by a passion for exploration and discovery, coupled with a respect for the world's seas and oceans. An idea that is also reflected in the logo, which leads back to the curves and movement of the sea and the waves. An integral element of the brand is the mandala, designed by Alexa Aponte-Vago, CFO of the MSC Group, daughter of the founder Gianluigi Aponte and wife of the president Pierfrancesco Vago. The mandala has deep roots in spirituality and represents a journey of self-discovery and fulfilment. The lotus flower symbolizes purity of body, speech and mind; the nod to the lily shows humility and a connection to European heritage.
