For guests looking to embark on this culinary voyage with exclusive savings, Scott & Thomas has access to rates that aren’t available to the general public—simply contact one of our concierges to learn more.

Ocean-Inspired Elegance: The Main Dining Experience

At the heart of Explora Journeys’ dining scene is Marble & Co. Grill, a contemporary European steakhouse that seamlessly blends sophistication with comfort. This restaurant offers premium cuts of meat, sourced from sustainable farms, prepared to perfection and served with exquisite accompaniments such as crushed fingerling potatoes and slow-cooked vegetables. The ambiance is intimate yet inviting, making it the perfect setting for a leisurely dinner with ocean views.

Another highlight is Sakura, an Asian culinary retreat that showcases the delicate balance of flavors found in Japanese, Thai, and Chinese cuisine. Guests can indulge in dishes like lobster pad Thai, wok-fried specialties, and cherry blossom-infused cocktails, all carefully crafted to provide an authentic experience.

For a taste of Italy, Med Yacht Club offers a fresh and modern approach to Mediterranean dining. Inspired by beachside Mediterranean restaurants found along the coasts of France and North Africa, the menu features handmade pastas, grilled seafood, and traditional regional flavors. The restaurant offers a selection of fine wines and is open for lunch and dinner, making it an excellent choice for a mid-day meal or an elegant evening feast.

All-Day Indulgence: Casual and Specialty Dining

For a more relaxed yet equally refined experience, Explora Journeys offers an array of casual and specialty dining venues that cater to every craving, no matter the time of day.

Fil Rouge presents a contemporary, international dining experience, featuring an ever-evolving menu that ensures no two meals are the same. This French-inspired venue is ideal for guests who appreciate variety and innovation in their dining experience.

For a lighter yet equally flavorful option, the Emporium Marketplace is open throughout the day, offering freshly prepared dishes inspired by global street food. Whether you’re in the mood for a gourmet salad, freshly baked bread, or expertly crafted sushi rolls, the Emporium provides a bounty of flavors to explore.

Craving a perfectly brewed espresso or a handcrafted cocktail? Journeys Lounge and Crema Café are the perfect places to unwind, whether you’re starting your morning with a cappuccino or winding down with a signature evening drink.

Dining is an integral part of the Explora Journeys experience, and Scott & Thomas can help you book your voyage with exclusive perks and savings not available to the public.
