Out of Office: Jannik Sinner’s Way
What does an intensive performance programme look like for one of the world’s leading tennis players? In Explora Journeys' new 'Out of Office' campaign, our Global Brand Ambassador, Jannik Sinner, appears to give us the answer – yet it might not be what you imagine.
Maybe the best performance on the court starts off the court
Whilst embarked in EXPLORA III for her Prelude Journey in July 2026, where Jannik became the first guest welcomed onboard, there were no punishing drills or relentless training sessions. Instead, he simply switched off at sea: slowing down, enjoying the ocean and embracing the freedom to simply be. 'Out of Office' is a playful contrast that reveals a more unexpected side of preparation.
Sometimes, performing at your best begins by knowing when to pause.
Discipline, balance and the pursuit of excellence shape Jannik’s life on the court, values that resonate naturally with the philosophy of Explora Journeys. But discipline is not only about pushing forward. It is also about recognising when to step away, restore balance and make space to recharge.
That is the idea at the heart of 'Out of Office'.
Rest is not presented as an indulgence or an escape from performance, but as an essential part of it. Behind every apparently effortless moment lies the quiet understanding that the body and mind also need time to recover.
And where better to embrace that mindset than on the ocean, embarked on a voyage with Explora Journeys.
At sea, switching off seems to happen almost instinctively. The horizon stretches beyond view. Everyday distractions begin to recede, while the day unfolds according to a gentler rhythm. Time is no longer divided between mobile phone alerts, appointments, and competing demands. It opens up before you.
A morning might begin with breakfast served on your terrace overlooking the water, with nowhere else you need to be. Later, there may be time to linger over lunch, enjoy an ocean-inspired wellness experience or find a peaceful place on deck and stay there longer than intended.
This is the Ocean State of Mind: a sense of calm, balance and renewal that emerges as the pressures of everyday life drift further away. Thoughtfully designed suites, carefully crafted dining, ocean-inspired wellness and considered service all create the freedom to slow down and find your own rhythm.
Jannik brings this to life through a lighthearted lens; with a narrative that appears to be the description of an intensive training programme, but delivered with a knowing smile: slowing down is not the opposite of achievement. It can be what makes achievement possible.
Perhaps that is why activating an Out of Office response can feel so satisfying. It is more than a practical message informing people that you are unavailable. It marks a transition from doing to being, from responding to every demand to becoming present in the moment.
The inbox can wait.
The meetings will still be there when you return.
For now, the only pressing engagement might be a glass of champagne enjoyed on your private terrace, watching the sun settle over the horizon or deciding whether it is time for another coffee.
As Jannik playfully reminds us, even the most focused among us need time away from the usual pace. Time to reconnect, renew our energy and return with fresh perspective.
So, the next time you switch on your Out of Office, consider it the beginning of something rather than simply a sign that you are away. It is an invitation to put down the phone, leave expectations behind and discover a different rhythm.
Out of Office, Jannik’s way. How do you Out of Office?
