A Journey of Unforgettable ‘Firsts’

Explora Journeys

Your clients' first chance to see EXPLORA III, meet Jannik Sinner — global tennis icon — and experience our newest wellness programme.

Currently available to book, it is very rare opportunity to meet Jannik Sinner during the special Prelude Journey on EXPLORA III departing Genoa on 24 July 2026, before her official maiden voyage. Plus, your clients can hear about In Balance, the new ocean wellness programme developed with the Global Brand Ambassador and his performance team. 

Your clients will have the opportunity to experience, by reserving in advance:

  • Jannik Sinner onboard 24–25 July for an exclusive two-day programme at sea 
  • In Balance – a new Ocean Wellness Programme created in collaboration with Jannik Sinner, a curated short-format edition with Jannik’s Performance Team, and Jannik present.
  • Small-group wellness sessions and coaching experiences led by Jannik’s Performance Team*
  • A special charity gala evening* supporting the Jannik Sinner Foundation and MSC Foundation
  • Limited-availability experiences, offering a compelling story for clients seeking unique access  

What is ‘In Balance’, the new Jannik Sinner Ocean Wellness Programme? 

A refined ocean wellness programme developed in collaboration with Jannik Sinner, inspired by the philosophy and discipline of world-class performance. 
The programme reflects a shared belief that true wellbeing is achieved where physical vitality, mental clarity, and emotional balance converge. 
In Balance invites your clients to reconnect with themselves through movement, recovery and mindful practices. 

*All proceeds will support the charitable missions of the Jannik Sinner Foundation and the MSC Foundation.

Exclusive Experiences During the Prelude Journey 

24–25 July | Genoa to Marseille
In Balance: Performance & Wellness Sessions

Your clients will have the opportunity to experience a curated short-format edition of the In Balance wellness sessions guided by Jannik Sinner’s performance team, with appearances by Jannik Sinner throughout the experience. 
Offered in small-group formats, the sessions draw on principles of movement, recovery and mental alignment to restore balance and enhance personal wellbeing. 
What if my clients want to experience the In Balance wellness programme at another time?
The In Balance Ocean Wellness Programme will officially launch onboard EXPLORA I from 24 April 2026 and EXPLORA II from 18 May 2026, offering guests an elevated approach to wellbeing throughout their Journey — however, without Jannik Sinner in attendance. 

A Purpose-Led Charity Gala Dinner

A refined charity gala evening will bring together a limited group of guests in support of the Jannik Sinner Foundation and MSC Foundation, united by shared commitments to education, wellbeing and positive social impact.  
Hosted in the elegant setting of Fil Rouge onboard, the evening will offer an intimate and convivial dining experience inspired by the spirit of generosity and purpose at the heart of the occasion. Prior to dinner, participating guests will have the opportunity to meet Jannik Sinner for a moment of welcome and exchange. 
Throughout the evening, guests will be invited to discover the missions and aspirations of both Foundations. 

Charity Coaching Sessions

A limited number of guests will have the opportunity to participate in private charity coaching sessions led by members of Jannik Sinner’s professional coaches, with appearances by Jannik Sinner throughout, subject to availability. 
The sessions will be led by Simone Vagnozzi and Darren Cahill, key figures behind Jannik’s rise to the highest level of professional tennis. Each session will last 20 minutes and will be conducted in small groups of two guests, hosted on the ship’s 180 sqm (1,940 sq ft) padel court, creating an intimate and performance-focused environment.  
Participation is offered through a charitable contribution per guest, with all proceeds supporting the missions of the Jannik Sinner Foundation and the MSC Foundation.
Intimate by design and strictly limited in availability, these experiences will be offered exclusively to guests sailing on the Prelude Journey during the two days Jannik Sinner will be onboard — 24 and 25 July.
Further details regarding participation and reservation timing will be shared closer to launch.
