Suites
A Residential, All-Suite Experience at Sea
Unlike traditional cruise lines, Explora Journeys does not operate a tiered class system. Instead, every guest stays in a suite — creating a more consistent, residential-style experience across the ship, with an emphasis on space, privacy and understated luxury.
All suites feature ocean views and private terraces, with a calm, contemporary design that feels closer to a boutique hotel than a cruise ship.
Ocean Suites
The entry point to the Explora experience — though notably more spacious than most standard cruise accommodation.
– Floor-to-ceiling windows and private terrace
– Separate living and sleeping areas
– Walk-in wardrobe and well-appointed bathroom
– Thoughtful, minimalist design with a residential feel
These suites form the core of the ship and are ideal for those who value space and simplicity without needing additional features.
Ocean Penthouses
A step up in both space and service, offering a more elevated onboard experience.
– Larger layouts with expanded living areas
– Priority reservations and personalised service touches
– Additional in-suite amenities and enhanced comfort
This category suits those looking for a little more room to relax, along with a more refined level of service.
Ocean Residences
Designed for longer stays or those seeking a more private, apartment-style environment at sea.
– Significantly larger living spaces
– Separate dining and entertaining areas
– Enhanced privacy and exclusivity
These feel closer to a private residence, offering flexibility and comfort for extended voyages.
Owner’s Residences
At the top of the range, the Owner’s Residences offer the most spacious and private accommodation on board.
– Expansive indoor and outdoor living areas
– Panoramic ocean views with large terraces
– Highly personalised service and attention to detail
This is the most exclusive way to experience Explora, combining scale, privacy and a seamless level of service throughout.
A Different Approach to Luxury at Sea
What sets Explora apart is not just the size of its suites, but the absence of a rigid class system. There is no “ship within a ship” - instead, the entire vessel is designed to feel calm, spacious and consistent, regardless of where you stay.
Choosing the Right Suite
When booking through The Private Traveller, I’ll help you select the most suitable suite based on your travel style - whether that’s a well-positioned Ocean Suite or one of the more expansive Residence options. I can also advise on layout, location on the ship and overall value, ensuring the experience feels exactly right from the outset.
