EXPLORA III - Three New Culinary Concepts to entice your clients

Explora Journeys

With the arrival of EXPLORA III in July 2026, we will introduce an expanded and refined culinary offering — combining returning guest-favorite venues with three entirely new concepts and striking design enhancements across key social spaces.

Across 7 restaurants, 12 bars and lounges, and immersive culinary experiences, EXPLORA III invites guests to dine, gather, and discover spaces shaped by light, texture, and intention.

What’s New on EXPLORA III?

THREE NEW CULINARY CONCEPTS

Shore Club on 11 at The Conservatory Pool

Positioned as elevated beach-club dining at sea, Shore Club on 11 blends relaxed poolside energy with refined culinary execution.

Fresh, vibrant coastal flavours are served in a light-filled setting designed for long lunches, social afternoons, and effortless evenings.

An ideal recommendation for clients who enjoy stylish yet informal dining — offering the atmosphere of a Mediterranean beach club with the sophistication and space of Explora Journeys.

The Chef’s Table by Explora Journeys

An exclusive private dining experience where guests collaborate directly with our chefs to create a fully bespoke menu.

Perfect for celebrations, meaningful gatherings, or intimate evenings, this curated experience transforms personal tastes and inspirations into a one-of-a-kind culinary Journey.

Ideal for clients seeking privacy, personalization, and a highly curated dining moment — delivered with the care, presence, and sophistication that defines Explora Journeys.

The Cellar by Explora Journeys on Deck 5

Warm, unpretentious, and thoughtfully curated, it features Old World classics, expressive New World wines and rare labels.

  • Rare and iconic vintages available exclusively at The Cellar

  • Bottles may be enjoyed in The Cellar or carried through to dinner

  • Small bites and handcrafted chocolate truffles available 

  • Two spaces: main salon (8 seats) and private area (4 seats)

Guided by intuitive Cellar Masters, the experience is personal, accessible, and quietly elevated.

Ideal for clients who enjoy approachable, expert-led wine experiences in a relaxed, elegant setting, The Cellar is a welcoming wine salon where discovery replaces formality.
