And here it is! In summer 2027, we can look forward to the launch of a new addition to the Explora Journeys fleet, the Explora IV, which serves as a sanctuary for guests, allowing them to reconnect not only with the ocean but also with themselves. Its thoughtful design and ample space together create an atmosphere of effortless elegance. Like her older sister Explora III, this ship is powered by LNG, reinforcing the company's commitment to reducing environmental impact in its operations.
The itinerary of Explora IV will be based primarily on 7-day cruises around Europe (Mediterranean, Baltic Sea, Iceland) with less visited ports and many overnight stays, allowing travelers to experience unique moments on land.
Cabins
The ship Explora IV offers 461 spacious and luxurious suites, in the categories of Ocean Suites, Ocean Penthouses, Ocean Residences and Owner's Residence. Families can expect space and privacy with the option of connectivity for some of the suites. These suites promise that the cruise line can accommodate various group sizes and prepare them for a comfortable journey.
