Explora Journeys has unveiled the design of the Ocean Terrace Suites on its first ship, EXPLORA I, ahead of her maiden journey in May 2023.
The line’s founders, the Aponte Vago family, have carefully curated the design of the suites, penthouses and residences to create a luxurious home at sea.
The design reflects the brand’s philosophy of creating an Ocean State of Mind, thanks to light, colour, space, privacy, and connection with the sea.
The innovative ship will blend elegant Swiss precision with modern European craftsmanship and vibrant design to create serene and spacious ‘Homes at Sea’ ranging from 35 sqm (377 sq ft) in the Ocean Terrace category up to 280 sqm (3014 sq ft) for the Owners Residence.
Each ‘Home at Sea’ comprises a walk-in wardrobe with a seated vanity area, heated floors in the bathrooms, binoculars, wireless bed-side charging, mini-bar, espresso machine, kettle and teapot.
The EXPLORA I ocean terrace suites, above, and the grand terrace suites, top of page and below, are being designed to create a “Home at Sea’ experience
EXPLORA I ocean grand terrace suite
Each of the 461 ocean-front suites, penthouses and residences comes with its own spacious private terrace and floor-to-ceiling windows maximise natural light.
The design of each suite has been developed in collaboration with De Jorio Luxury & Yachts projects, and London-based architectural and interior design studio NenMar.
Sales are now open for the Inaugural Journeys Collection for EXPLORA I from May 2023 and in its first year, the ship will visit 132 ports in 40 different countries.
The itineraries include the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, the UK, Iceland, Greenland, Canada, the US East Coast, Caribbean, South America and Hawaii. Sailings start from six-night journeys and culminate in an epic 44-night Northern Europe Grand Journey.
