Whether in the elegant interiors, by a pool or on a suite’s private terrace, every venue will be distinct and created for memorable experiences. EXPLORA I offers a curated choice of restaurants, bars, and lounges, each of which blends vibrancy with privacy, in an effortless atmosphere.

Throughout the year wine selections will reflect the regional areas where the ship sails, while offering favourite grape varietals. Sommeliers will constantly source boutique wine labels to build an inspiring menu with truly interesting selections. For example, Chardonnay will not come from the expected places such as the Napa Valley, but from regions where there are interesting, emerging and niche choices such as Switzerland and other European countries.

An exclusive mixology programme has been curated including a signature `Ocean State of Mind` cocktail using gin made with seaweed algae. Exclusive wine, whiskey and spirit tastings, pairings, cocktail-making masterclasses and ‘Meet the Winemaker’ events will be held onboard, as well as wine-themed destination experiences ashore.

Thibaut Briançon, Senior Lead, Food and Beverage Services for Explora Journeys, comments

This will ensure our mixologists and sommeliers provide unique experiences for our discerning travellers.”
