Technogym and EXPLORA I: welcome to Ocean Wellness
The luxury ship builds a complete wellness journey on board powered by Technogym
Embarking on a new era of nautical elegance, EXPLORA I proudly stands as the inaugural vessel of the luxury cruise line, Explora Journeys. On 1 August 2023, this avant-garde ship departed on her Maiden Journey, sailing from Copenhagen, Denmark, on an epic 14-night journey through seven captivating destinations with a two-night stay in Reykjavik, before returning to the Danish capital. This marked the start of a series of itineraries spanning three continents, offering guests cultural immersion and an opportunity for inner and outer discovery.
Guests aboard EXPLORA I are not just passengers; they are participants in a journey of cultural immersion and self-discovery, unlocking the secrets of the world's oceans and embracing the Ocean State of Mind. This adventure transcends the ordinary, offering an unprecedented blend of luxury, adventure, and introspection.
On EXPLORA I, travelers also have a chance to slow down, optimise their wellbeing, and find a renewed sense of calm and centeredness thanks to Ocean Wellness, a concept which offers an array of highly effective, restorative experiences far removed from urban noise and the always-on digital culture. Over 1,000 sq m of space is dedicated to a luxurious spa, indoor and outdoor wellness areas, contemporary fitness facilities, outdoor Sports Court and Running Track.
