The Explora III is the first ship in the Explora fleet to be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG). This almost completely eliminates emissions such as sulphur oxides and nitrogen oxides.

In addition, the entire fleet will be equipped with the latest environmental and marine technologies, including selective catalytic reduction technology, a shore power connection, underwater noise protection systems to protect marine life and a comprehensive range of energy-efficient equipment on board.

All of the 463 suites are equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows, spacious terraces, luxurious bathrooms and a walk-in closet with seating. The Ocean Suites start at around 35 sqm, while the Ocean Penthouses are up to 69 sqm in size (including balcony). The Ocean Residences impress with their total size of up to 149 sqm as well as their 24-hour butler service and, in some cases, their own whirlpool on the balcony. In the Owner's Residence with approx. 280 sqm, you can even relax in your own infinity pool on the terrace.

Throughout the voyage, guests will enjoy a wide range of unique inclusive experiences and first-class service, carefully crafted to enhance every moment. A relaxed and expansive atmosphere paired with effortless elegance, the concept of the Explora III is designed to make guests feel like they are on board a private yacht.

There are a total of six restaurants and twelve bars & lounges on board. From steakhouse to Mediterranean cuisine to Asian specialties - there is something for every taste on board the Explora III:

• Experience exquisite culinary delights and specialities from world-famous guest chefs in the Anthology restaurant.
• Experience the finest pan-Asian dishes at Sakura.
• For example, savour hand-picked meat in the Marble & Co. Grill.
• Taste exclusive wines with international dishes at Fil Rouge.
• Sample delicacies from all over the world in a relaxed atmosphere at the Emporium Marketplace. The focus is on healthy, delicious and, above all, local and sustainable food.

In the bars and lounges, you can enjoy relaxed European coffee specialities in the Crema Café, a large selection of cocktails and long drinks in the Journeys Lounge, for example. Or how about an elegant journey to the whisky regions of the world in the Malt Whiskey Bar. We also recommend the Sky Bar On 14 in the outdoor area, where you can enjoy the sunset with a cool drink.

The Explora III offers you countless shopping opportunities. The Journey offers you a unique collection of over 30 brands that share a commitment to people and planet. You will also find four exclusive flagship boutiques on board from some of the world's most coveted luxury brands.

The “Ocean Wellness” spa area has been redesigned and now includes Ocean Wellness - The Spa, as well as a state-of-the-art fitness center, created in collaboration with Technogym and featuring the latest training equipment. In addition, there is the unique open-air fitness area on deck 14, where guests can work out in the open air while enjoying the view of the water.

Special areas have been added to the Nautilus Club to cater for children and teenagers. Here, a team of experienced hosts ensures that younger guests also experience unforgettable moments.

If you want to enjoy maximum comfort and luxury in a spacious and private atmosphere during your vacation, the Explora III is just the right ship for you. The ship offers a unique on-board experience and impresses with its high quality of service.
