The SHIP:
A floating hotel whose address is the ocean – the arrival of EXPLORA III marks the most anticipated luxury floating hotel launch of the year.
Thoughtfully imagined and meticulously designed, she offers unparalleled comfort, leading, more light and new dreamy destinations for unhurried discovery. With a refined European spirit, and tailored new experiences across design, dining, ocean-inspired wellness, and curated shopping, EXPLORA III redefines what it means to indulge in ultra-elegant ocean travel.
From a striking reinterpretation of her iconic Lobby, to an additional Owner’s Residence, designed by Patricia Urquiola, and a fully reimagined Ocean Wellness space, every detail nurtures calm, presence, and a deeper connection to the sea.
This is not just a ship – EXPLORA III is the Journey, and the highlight of the year for discerning guests seeking sophistication and exclusivity.
The ITINERARIES:
EXPLORA III will sail guests on enchanting journeys through Northern Europe’s dramatic coastlines, the magical landscapes of Iceland and Greenland, and the vibrant sceneries along North America’s East Coast. Her Inaugural Journeys will continue to the sun-soaked Caribbean and Central America, crossing through the Panama Canal to the iconic Central and North America Pacific Coast.
In another first, EXPLORA III awakens new horizons charting a bold course to Alaska’s untamed wilds, from towering glaciers and fascinating wildlife to frontier towns, delivering soul-stirring encounters in nature.
For the first time, EXPLORA III journeys into the soul of Asia, where sacred temples, tranquil gardens, and futuristic skylines coexist in perfect harmony. From Japan’s fiery autumn foliage and delicate cherry blossoms to the cultural vibrancy of South Korea, the cosmopolitan charm of Singapore, and the dynamic spirit of Shanghai, magnificent cultures converge in a seamless blend of heritage and innovation.
