With Explora Journeys, it’s all about an Ocean State of Mind.
“Explora Journeys is inviting guests on a luxurious journey of health for the mind, body, and soul.”
With its signature Ocean Wellness program, Explora Journeys is inviting guests on a luxurious journey of health for the mind, body, and soul—meaningful experiences known as the Ocean State of Mind. With this, Explora Journeys’ ships, services, and amenities are thoughtfully designed to encourage guests to explore and discover their inner and outer selves, reaping physical, intellectual, and spiritual rewards.

The Ocean State of Mind journey is different for everyone, curated to the individual guest. It could be a day at the luxurious spa, where a hydrotherapy pool, steam room, Finnish sauna, and a host of customizable treatments reduce stress and welcome relaxation. Or perhaps the guest is interested in relaxing in a heated marble lounger, followed by a detoxification in the salt cave, where Himalayan salt bricks and the salt-infused air help release negative ions, thus reducing stress, improving mental clarity, boosting immunity, and promoting circulation.
With an Ocean State of Mind Ritual, guests are invited to connect with each other during a meaningful in-person experience, created to help them center and focus by using rotating techniques of visualization, breath work, crystal therapy, sound therapy, and meditation.
Explora Journeys’ approach to whole-body wellness can also be experienced in the state-of-the-art fitness center, which features nearly 4,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor facilities and high-performance training equipment. Tailor-made wellness programs include energy flow classes to replenish stamina and strength, sleep retreats to realign the body’s circadian rhythm, and immune-boosting experiences to promote health and reduce anxiety—all enhanced by the rhythmic and revitalizing sea air and water.
Exclusively on EXPLORA II, guests can transform their workouts with the Technogym Checkup, an AI-powered assessment station that measures physical and cognitive abilities to create personalized training programs and promote longevity. The Checkup can scan body composition, balance, mobility, strength, and cognitive abilities while also analyzing workouts and providing personalized insights to maximize performance.

Also on EXPLORA II, the spa is collaborating with Subtle Energies, the Australian skincare brand renowned for its authentic wellness solutions and holistic skin science. Pioneers in blending results-driven aromatherapy with Ayurveda principles, the skincare is designed to deliver powerful treatment programs.
Although with Explora Journeys, wellness expands well beyond the ships. The collection of Destination Experiences, for one, provide inspiring opportunities to discover authentic cultural, historical, and culinary delights from an extraordinary perspective—whether it’s summiting a volcano in Spain, exploring hidden caves in Morocco, or harvesting produce for a farm-to-table meal in Italy.
