- MSC Group’s new luxury cruise brand Explora Journeys has begun sailings following delays amid fire safety concerns, with its maiden voyage departing from Copenhagen, Denmark to Reykjavik, Iceland
- Its 2023 cruises will range from US$2,150 per person for a 3-night sailing to US$21,500 for a 35-night itinerary – so what does it look like inside, from the interiors to restaurants and facilities?
Wealthy travellers now have a new playground: Explora Journeys, a new luxury cruise line backed by one of the world’s largest shipping companies, has finally set sail following delays amid fire safety concerns.
But unlike MSC Cruises – which has 2023 itineraries sailing for as little as US$40 per day according to data from Cruise Sheet – 2023 sailings on the Explora I will start at US$2,150 for a three-night cruise.
On Wednesday, the cruise line’s first vessel, the Explora I, finally embarked on its seven-night maiden journey from Copenhagen, Denmark to Reykjavik, Iceland after faulty fire panels caused a delay in its initial launch.
Through the remainder of this year, the ship will spend its time sailing around Europe, North America and the Caribbean Sea.
