Cruise News: The LNG-Fueled Explora III is Gearing Up for Summer 2026 Debut

Welcoming guests warmly is the redesigned Lobby, adorned with grand chandeliers, cosy fireplace, contemporary artworks and lush furniture pieces, creating a spacious communal area to unwind, gather and connect. It will also host the Lobby Bar, serving as the central social hub for flavourful drinks and live music. Boasting an airy atmosphere and more space than ever, The Conservatory Pool & Bar onboard Explora III is renewed for ultimate relaxation and poolside bliss, all day long. 

Guests can indulge in a range of sophisticated homes at sea aboard Explora III, with an increased number of Ocean Penthouses and Ocean Residences, plus a second aft-located Owner’s Residences – making her the first ship in the fleet to ever feature two of this spacious and ultra-exclusive accommodation. Each all-suite, ocean-front sanctuary is thoughtfully designed with an abundance of space, serenity and comfort. 

Committed to helping guests achieve the ‘Ocean State of Mind,’ the Ocean Wellness spa is enhanced to every detail, featuring new signature treatments, innovative spaces for rejuvenation, and serene lounges. The wellness facilities are upgraded with state-of-the-art equipment, expanded Sports Court, and an extended running track. 

A spectacular spectrum of gastronomic experiences await onboard Explora III, introducing never-seen-before culinary concepts alongside returning fleet favourites. Guests can enjoy three all-new dining venues including Shore Club on 11 at the Conservatory for a balance of poolside fun and all-day dining; The Chef’s Table by Explora Journeys for an intimate and immersive dining experience in collaboration with the expert chefs; and The Cellar by Explora Journeys for world-class fine wine tastings. 

This latest evolution of Explora ships also brings unparalleled shopping experience to the high seas, emerging with world-renowned luxury brands, such as Cartier, Chopard, as well as the brand’s very own The Journey.

Beyond being the brand’s latest vessel, Explora III is a vibrant destination in her own right, combining reimagined guest favourites with evolved spaces, new dining concepts and elevated experiences. From world-class gastronomy and stylish bars and lounges to ocean-inspired wellness and ocean-front suites, every moment on board is tailored to inspire and indulge.
