Explora Journeys
Experience all-inclusive, vibrant luxury at sea onboard 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 'ocean state of mind' is inspired by the blue waters of our seas and oceans. A state of mind that has helped create Explora Journeys. One that is characterised by calm, unity, elegance and joy, that encourages inner and outer exploration and discovery.
Family-Owned
This is a story that starts in Sorrento with a Neapolitan ferry captain, Gianluigi Aponte, who – together with his Swiss sweetheart – went on to create MSC, a global shipping operation and the world’s largest privately-owned cruise company.

Inspired by the Sea
The Aponte family records 300 years of sea-faring expertise, alongside an inherent passion and respect for the sea has developed. It is why the ocean will always remain at the forefront of the Explora Journeys experience.
