Explora Journeys: The Caribbean’s Tropical Paradise


Explora Journeys, a luxury cruise brand of the MSC Group, offers guests the opportunity to be pampered by the warmth of the tropical paradise of the Caribbean, combining maritime history, culture and culinary delights.

When people talk about the Caribbean, they immediately think of wide beaches and crystal clear waters, but this earthly paradise has so much more to offer.

Explora Journeys’ cruises offer the opportunity to soak up the turquoise waters or relax on the beach sipping coconut water in the shade of palm trees, while also immersing guests in the local culture, exploring maritime history and sampling the culinary delights of the places visited.

The fascinating history of the Caribbean is made up of stories of local people, historical figures, well-preserved attractions and ancient architecture, so excursions will allow guests to get lost among UNESCO World Heritage sites and ancient streets to explore how people lived there long ago.

At the same time, it is possible to immerse oneself in the Caribbean culture, where the islands are united and at the same time characterized by unique values such as history, art, cuisine, language, music and heterogeneous traditions, discovering the great variety, from the different customs of each country, to the typical Caribbean rhythms, to local specialties. It will be possible to appreciate the authentic diversity and admire the pride of the local people.

Caribbean cuisine tantalizes the senses with gastronomic delights that are as lively and daring as the locals. You will taste the delicious freshly caught seafood seasoned with spices and accompanied by rum cocktails, learn the art of Creole cooking with a private chef, discover the origins of the most prized coffees and enjoy sweet infusions of local cocoa.

And finally, nature, a sun-drenched ecological treasure that offers walks among colorful flowers and plants with succulent fruits in tropical forests, visits to sugarcane, coffee and cacao plantations. But also encounters with exotic animals of many colors and the thrill of swimming among wonderful marine life.

In short, the Caribbean offers a rich and varied array of thrills, from kayaking through the colorful wilderness, safaris to cocoa plantations, visits to pastel-colored villages, snorkeling among coral reefs, and Caribbean dancing to the rhythm of rumba or reggae.

The first Caribbean cruises aboard Explora I will set sail in November 2023, with 7- to 14-night itineraries exploring this earthly paradise that represents a tropical fusion of culture, history and nature, all combined with the luxury and comfort that characterize Explora Journeys cruises.
