      Explora V

      Slated for a winter 2027 debut, Explora V is the next-generation sanctuary at sea of Explora Journeys. This latest ship in the making is tailored to evoke a heightened sense of space and ease. She is the third LNG-powered vessel in the fleet, following her ground-breaking predecessors, Explora III and Explora IV. Featuring a high space-to-guest ratio, she offers curated comfort and inimitable intimacy. 

      The all-new Explora V is making her maiden voyage in the Mediterranean during the quiet season. This itinerary entices guests with fewer crowds and cooler temperatures, setting it well apart from busy Mediterranean sailings. The inaugural season’s highlight is a one-of-a-kind New Year’s Eve celebration in Naples. This invites guests to experience the city’s spectacular fireworks display, all from the comfort of the Explora V – creating a truly marvelous moment to ring in the New Year!

They are staffed by full-time registered doctors and nurses who are trained to manage, stabilise, and treat most acute medical conditions. If more advanced care is required, guests may be transferred to a shoreside medical facility for continued treatment. Guests unable to manage their daily personal care activities (feeding, bathing, dressing and toileting etc.) should travel with a caregiver who can assist with these tasks.

      While medical services on board are subject to fees, Explora Journeys offers a complimentary initial consultation for non-complex conditions. They strongly recommend that all guests obtain comprehensive travel health insurance that covers medical treatment, emergency repatriation, and any related expenses.
