EXPLORA II

18 Reviews

Overview

The second ship in the fleet, EXPLORA II, is an elegantly crafted sanctuary that deepens guests' connection with the ocean, unlocking new opportunities for discovery and cultural immersion. She mirrors EXPLORA I's 456 ocean-front suites and refined, understated design language, while carrying her own distinct spirit of vibrant, cosmopolitan European elegance.

EXPLORA II was named in Civitavecchia by godmother Rosalba Giugni, founder of Marevivo, Italy's leading marine conservation organization, underscoring the brand's enduring commitment to ocean stewardship.

She is RINA DOLPHIN certified to minimize underwater noise, and, like every ship in the fleet, is entirely free of single-use plastics, on board and ashore.
