State of Mind
Explore the world at sea
with Explora Journeys.
Combining centuries-old seafaring experiences with modern European refinement, the new luxury lifestyle brand Explora Journeys offers a bold vision for luxury ocean travel. Expect a unique synergy of chic ships, environmentally conscious practices, and immersive itineraries. Harnessing cutting-edge maritime technology, the first ship in the Explora Journeys fleet, EXPLORA I, sets sail in 2023 — with five more to follow by 2028.
Luxury at Sea
All spaces and accommodations are thoughtfully designed for comfort, inspiration, and luxury. Take in sweeping ocean views from floor-to-ceiling windows and private sun terraces available in all 461 suites, penthouses, and residences. Discover more than 27,000 square feet of outdoor space, make a splash in the three outdoor swimming pools, lounge in a private cabana, or relax at the indoor pool (complete with a retractable roof), or unwind in the spa.
Dining Delights
A celebration of global culinary talents, cultures, and passions, EXPLORA I showcases sophisticated and varied menus across six restaurants, in-suite dining, and five of the 12 bars and lounges*. Guests can also embark on a culinary journey of discovery at the intimate Chef’s Kitchen experience. The variety of establishments promises something for every palate while setting the scene for long lunches and vibrant evenings. A worldly wine list and specialty cocktails are also available.
An Ocean State of Mind
Explora Journey’s Ocean Wellness philosophy invites guests to obtain an “Ocean State of Mind” — a respite from urban noise and non-stop digital culture via an array of offerings on-rhythm with the ocean. Guests can relax and revitalize with specialty spa services, tranquil surroundings, wellness programming, and fitness options.
Be Entertained
Discover authentic cultural, historical, and culinary delights from an extraordinary perspective both onboard and at port. Destination Experiences for both active and leisure explorers are tailored to intimate groups of two to 25 guests. Each activity has an emphasis on exclusive, off-the-beaten-track encounters so guests may be fully immersed in each destination. Back on the ship, multiple venues offer endless entertainment and music options, from a romantic candlelit evening of jazz to vibrant disco and classic rock ‘n roll.
Inaugural Itineraries
Explora Journey’s itineraries range from five to 52 with the Inaugural Journeys Collection, which covers Northern Europe, Iceland and Greenland, USA and Canada, the Caribbean, South America, and Hawaii, Mediterranean, Arabian Peninsula, India, Africa and Indian Ocean. Navigate the Norwegian fjords and sail in the shadows of Svalbard’s soaring cliffs, savour French fare in Saint Barths, cleanse your spirit underneath Hawaiian waterfalls, and soak up the sun-kissed shores of Brazil’s buzzing Buzios. Every adventure is supported by an industry-leading guest-to-host ratio of 1.25 to 1 for intuitive service.

Hi! I'm Shelly. I'd love to share a little about why I do what I do.More than 30 years ago, my husband survived a terrorist bombing, and our family had to learn what a new normal looked like. Through God's faithfulness and grace, we found healing, purpose, and a renewed appreciation for time together. Travel became one of the ways we created joyful memories and focused on what mattered most. That's why I do what I do. I know firsthand that travel isn't just about where you go—it's about the memories you make and the people you share them with.
Today, I help my clients create those same kinds of experiences. Whether it's a cruise, an all-inclusive resort, Europe, Alaska, Disney, Universal, or an adventure closer to home, I take care of the details so you can focus on enjoying the journey. My goal is simple: to help you create unforgettable memories without the stress.
