Why Explora Journeys Is the Best Luxury Cruise for Families and Multigenerational Travelers
If you're looking for the perfect way to experience the world in luxurious comfort—with your kids, teens, or even your parents and grandparents—Explora Journeys is redefining what it means to cruise as a family. Created by the Aponte family, the founders of MSC Cruises, this ultra-luxury cruise line was designed to make upscale travel accessible to every generation.
As a luxury travel advisor and mom, I’ve seen firsthand how magical it is to explore new destinations with loved ones. With Explora Journeys, your family can enjoy an effortless and elegant vacation together—without compromise.
A Family-Centric Vision at Sea
Explora Journeys offers more than just premium accommodations and gourmet dining—it offers a Home at Sea. This is a cruise line that truly understands the importance of multigenerational travel and creates opportunities for bonding, exploring, and relaxing together.
“Few things are as satisfying as making memories together.”This is not just a statement—it’s the core of Explora’s philosophy.
Family-Friendly Suites With Connected Options
One of the most common questions I get as a travel planner is: “Will there be space for all of us to stay comfortably together?” With Explora, the answer is a resounding yes.
Families can choose from 82 multigeneration-friendly connecting suites, including Ocean Suites, Ocean Penthouses, and Ocean Residences. These beautifully appointed spaces provide flexibility, comfort, and privacy—all with five-star service.
Thoughtful in-suite touches include:
Mini-sized bathrobes, slippers, and hangers for children
Baby cribs, linens, and toys upon request
Seamless suite connectivity for families traveling together
Exclusive Savings for Families
Luxury doesn’t have to mean overspending. Explora Journeys offers family-specific savings that make upscale travel more accessible:
Children ages 2–17 save up to 50%
Infants 6–23 months cruise free
Adults traveling as a 3rd or 4th guest in a suite save up to 25%
Whether you're traveling with toddlers, teens, or both, Explora makes it easy to plan a luxurious yet budget-conscious multigenerational vacation.
If your family or group requires three or more suites, asking me about the Journey Together offer and benefits.
Nautilus Club: The Ultimate Kids & Teens Club at Sea
The Nautilus Club is where young travelers, ages 6 to 17, come to play, explore, and connect. Open daily from 9:00 AM to midnight, this cutting-edge space offers:
Video games and VR consoles (PlayStation 5, Oculus Pro, Nintendo Switch)
Table games like pool and foosball
Music streaming via Spotify and Apple Music
A digital library and collection of multilingual books
Painting, crafts, tech tournaments, and ship-wide games
Kids aged 3–5 can also enjoy special activities when accompanied by a parent or guardian. Certified hosts trained by CLIA ensure every child’s safety, fun, and enrichment.
Sustainable Travel Education with the MSC Foundation
What sets Explora apart is how it educates and inspires younger guests. In partnership with the MSC Foundation, kids and teens can participate in hands-on workshops about:
Marine conservation
Responsible tourism
Sustainability practices onboard
How to protect our oceans and support local communities
This approach to "edu-tainment" helps kids learn the value of traveling responsibly and caring for the planet.
Family-Friendly Destination Experiences
Explora Journeys also curates unforgettable shore excursions for families. Each Destination Experience is carefully designed to be fun, enriching, and easy to access—no matter your kids’ ages.
Imagine:
Meeting a real astronaut at a space center
Spending a hands-on day at a working farm
Exploring historical sites, nature reserves, and local culture as a family
You won't have to worry about separating or choosing different excursions for different age groups—Explora creates experiences the whole family can enjoy together.
Adult-Only Areas for Relaxation and Serenity
Yes, Explora is family-friendly—but it’s also a haven for grown-ups. For those moments of stillness, the Helios Pool & Bar on Deck 12 offers a peaceful, adults-only space with panoramic views, luxurious loungers, and elevated service. Parents and grandparents can unwind knowing the kids are safe, happy, and entertained.
