Explora III

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 461 suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows, spacious terraces, luxurious bathrooms, and a walk-in closet with seating.

The most exclusive suite on board is the Owner’s Residence. Designed by Patricia Urquiola, it measures approximately 315 square meters, including the balcony. There is one additional Owner’s Suite on board. Both suites feature two bedrooms and offer further amenities, such as a personal Residence Manager who takes care of every detail of your stay. 

The Ocean Suites start at a size of approximately 35 square metres, whilst the Ocean Penthouses measure up to 69 square metres (including the balcony).

The Ocean Residences impress not only with their total size of up to 149 square metres, but also with a 24-hour butler service and, in some cases, a private hot tub on the balcony.

Throughout the voyage, you 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 you feel like they are on board a private yacht.

There are a total of seven 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.

Exclusive on Explora III:

• Shore Club 11 at the Conservatory: a beach club-style restaurant
• Chef’s Table by Explora Journeys: an exclusive dining experience created in collaboration with the chefs
• The Cellar by Explora Journeys: a place for wine lovers to relax and enjoy a glass of wine

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 Explora 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.

Explora Journeys is pleased to welcome guests of all ages on board. The Nautilus Club is available for children. On board the Explora III, the Nautilus Club is further divided into the Nautilus Club Junior and the Nautilus Club Teens.

The Nautilus Club Junior welcomes children ages 3–11, who are supervised daily by the Nautilus Hosts. Children under 3 years of age may play there with their parents.

The Nautilus Club Teens is reserved for teens ages 12–17. The focus here is on entertaining teens with exciting activities.

The shore excursions offered by Explora Journeys are called "Destination Experiences." These are carefully curated excursions that provide you with an in-depth look at the culture, history, nature, and culinary highlights of each port of call. 

The offerings range from small-group cultural tours to exclusive, one-of-a-kind adventures designed specifically for luxury travelers. You can book these excursions directly in your guest profile before your trip or, depending on availability, onboard.

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.
