Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, since 23 July 2026. She left the Fincantieri yard at Sestri Ponente, near Genoa, and was named at Barcelona on 1 August by her godmother Maya Aponte. Her first crossing left Genoa on 24 July.
To the MSC group, which made it its luxury brand. It is the same group as the mainstream cruise line of the same name, but it is not the same fleet, not the same ship and not the same clientele. Six hulls were ordered in one go from Fincantieri in Italy.
Gratuities, drinks — wines, spirits, cocktails, soft drinks, coffees and teas —, Wi-Fi, port taxes, access to the spa and shuttles into town. Every restaurant but one is also in the fare. Shore excursions and spa treatments are not.
Yes, they are in the fare. Nothing is posted daily to your onboard account on that account, unlike several American competitors where a daily service charge is added without your noticing. Over a fortnight the gap shows in the final bill.
No, they are booked and paid separately. That is the sharpest difference from Regent and Ponant, where shore outings are in the fare. Shuttles into town are included, however, which lets you go out on your own without buying an organised excursion.
Yes, it is included, and this is one of the few formulas in this catalogue to do it with no quota of minutes and no device count to watch. On a long crossing the difference from a line that sells it as a package is real.
All of them. There is no inside cabin on these ships, no porthole cabin, no entry category you will be advised to avoid: every cabin is a suite and each one has its own private terrace. That is why a hull this size carries so few people.
We do not quote it, because the sources do not agree from one technical sheet to the next. What is established and verifiable is that every cabin is a suite with a private terrace. Your advisor obtains the exact deck plan for the ship and the date before you choose.
Only one carries a supplement, with an optional food and wine pairing. All the others are in the fare, with no cover charge and no quota of visits. It is easily checked aboard and it sets this formula apart from several competitors.
Access to the spa and its facilities is included. Treatments are paid for. It is a distinction that catches many people out: you can spend your days in the thermal area at no cost, but a massage is still charged aboard.
One hundred and ninety-six when we measured: sixty-two in 2026, one hundred and five in 2027, twenty-nine in 2028. A few lines appear twice in the listing, so the distinct inventory is shorter. A calendar moves, so ask for the current list before locking in flights.
Yes, ten lines on this page. We give both figures rather than let the raw number create a false impression of plenty. Across the fleet, some lines repeat, so the distinct inventory is shorter than the headline total.
Only three of six. EXPLORA I has sailed since 2023, EXPLORA II since September 2024 and EXPLORA III since 23 July 2026. The other three are under construction, and two of them already sell one hundred and thirty dates between them.
No technical sheet from this supplier publishes the number of wheelchair-accessible suites, on any of the six ships. We check it at booking, ship by ship and date by date, rather than quote a figure we could not stand behind.
Through your agency, not the carrier. Nothing establishes a Quebec licence for this line. Voyages AquaTerra holds a licence from the Office de la protection du consommateur, your payments pass through a trust account, and your departure is covered by the compensation fund for travel agency customers.
