Explora III begins inaugural Mediterranean voyage

Explora Journeys, a brand under the MSC Group, has launched its third vessel, Explora III, with an inaugural voyage in the Mediterranean. The ship features 461 suites designed to accommodate approximately 900 passengers with a crew of 700.

Explora Journeys, which is owned by the Italian Aponte family, aims to expand its fleet to six ships by 2028. The brand emphasizes a luxury “ocean travel” experience rather than traditional cruising, focusing on spacious accommodations and high service ratios.
