The interior layouts have also been refined based on guest feedback from the first two ships, featuring expanded thermal wellness circuits, enhanced acoustic dampening in the evening lounges, and updated connectivity infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Explora Journeys Expert Insights & FAQs
EXPLORA I (2023) and EXPLORA II (2024) are sister ships built to virtually identical superyacht specifications (63,900 GT, 461 suites, 922 guests). Key refinements on EXPLORA II include upgraded acoustic engineering in public venues, refined outdoor cabana configurations on Deck 12, subtle enhancements to the Ocean Wellness thermal suite, and distinct curated artwork collections throughout the stairwells and lounges.
EXPLORA III, launching in Summer 2026, marks a major environmental and architectural milestone. It is slightly larger (approximately 70,000 GT) and is powered by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), reducing CO2 emissions by up to 25% and virtually eliminating sulfur oxide emissions. The ship also features updated suite layouts and enhanced hybrid battery storage.
Explora Journeys has committed to a six-ship ultra-luxury ocean fleet built by Fincantieri in Italy through 2028: EXPLORA I (2023), EXPLORA II (2024), EXPLORA III (2026), EXPLORA IV (2027), EXPLORA V (2027-2028), and EXPLORA VI (2028).
