Explora I the Journey
My recent voyage on Explora I was nothing short of extraordinary. While it may technically be considered a cruise, this was far from an ordinary experience. It was a journey into pure luxury and opulence that transcended any preconceived notions of cruising.
From the moment I stepped on board, I was enveloped in a world of refined indulgence. The attention to detail in every aspect of the ship was nothing short of impeccable. The ocean-front suites, penthouses, and residences exuded a sense of European elegance that left me breathless. Floor-to-ceiling windows in my accommodation allowed me to be intimately connected with the vast expanse of the ocean, while my private sun terrace provided the perfect sanctuary for relaxation and contemplation.
The onboard service was nothing less than exceptional, with staff that anticipated my every need and desire. Dining experiences were a culinary journey, with world-class chefs creating masterpieces that tantalised my taste buds.
But what truly set this experience apart was the sense of exclusivity and intimacy. It felt as though the ship and its crew were solely dedicated to ensuring my comfort and satisfaction. I never felt crowded or rushed; instead, I had the freedom to savour every moment and create lasting connections with fellow travellers who shared my appreciation for the finer things in life.

My First Impressions
Stepping on board Explora I was like entering a world of pure luxury. It wasn't just a cruise; it felt more like checking into a prestigious boutique hotel. From the moment I arrived, the experience was seamlessly orchestrated.
The check-in process was effortless, ensuring I felt like a valued guest from the very beginning. As I entered my suite, the feeling of opulence enveloped me, making it clear that this journey would be nothing short of extraordinary.
To kick off my voyage in style, a welcoming bottle of Champagne awaited me—a delightful touch that showcased the attention to detail and thoughtfulness that Explora I extended to all its guests. This was just the beginning of a journey filled with lavish experiences and unforgettable moments.
In my suite on Explora I, I was pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful upgrades. Instead of the standard hair dryer that usually takes ages to do the job, I found a Dyson Hair Dryer—a sleek and efficient solution to my grooming needs.
For those moments when I wanted to catch a closer glimpse of the shore or the mesmerising vistas, a set of high-quality Steiner binoculars was at my disposal, adding an extra layer of immersion to my experience.
And for those keen on maintaining their wellness routine even while on board, there's the option to request a Technogym training bag—a perfect companion for your personal wellness journey. (Check out the Wellness Onboard)Wellness Explora I
