Explora Journeys · Dining
Food is the quiet headline.
Dining is one of the clearest ways Explora Journeys separates itself from a conventional cruise. On EXPLORA I and EXPLORA II, the restaurant lineup moves from an all-day marketplace and European café to a Mediterranean dining room, Pan-Asian cooking, a proper steakhouse, and in-suite dining on your private terrace. Most of these experiences are included in the fare, so you can choose dinner based on your mood rather than the price of the menu. Anthology is the exception, offering a more formal Italian tasting menu for an additional fee.
The table
More restaurants than evenings aboard.
Eight of the nine venues are included in your fare, so there’s no reservation stress and no surcharge anxiety.
From the all-day Emporium Marketplace to a seven-course Italian tasting menu, dining aboard EXPLORA I and II moves with your mood. The only experience that carries a charge is Anthology, and it’s the one regulars book first.
