Explora Journeys

Explora Journeys represents the ambition and long-held dream of the MSC Group and the Aponte family to create a transformative luxury ocean travel experience and brand that redefines the luxury cruise category.

THE STORY: This is a story that starts in Sorrento with a Neapolitan ferry captain, Gianluigi Aponte, who – together with the Swiss sweetheart he met when she was a passenger on one of his crossings – went on to create MSC, a global shipping operation and the world’s largest privately-owned cruise company. Now this Swiss-Italian seafaring family are fulfilling their life-long dream and launching Explora Journeys, an exquisite, modern luxury cruise experience like no other.

DINING & LOUNGING: Worldly, sophisticated, and well-travelled, with European panache, culinary and beverage experts bring together an abundance of experience and artistry to the curation of immersive dining experiences. The team brings enthusiasm for provenance along with a plethora of stories about the rare ingredients, which are hand-selected just for Explora Journeys.
Throughout the year, wine selections will reflect the regional areas where the ship sails. Sommeliers will constantly source boutique wine labels to build an inspiring menu with truly interesting choices. An exclusive mixology programme has been curated including a signature Ocean State of Mind cocktail using gin made with seaweed algae. Exclusive wine, whiskey and spirit tastings, pairings, cocktail making masterclasses and ‘Meet the Winemaker’ events will be held onboard, as well as wine-themed destination experiences ashore./li>
