Explora Journeys unveils 'Ocean Wellness' experience

Explora Journeys has unveiled its spa, wellness and fitness program which will debut aboard EXPLORA I when the luxury cruise ship launches in mid-2023.

Dubbed ‘Ocean Wellness’, and “inspired by the mystical powers of the sea”, the program comprises a collection of “highly effective, restorative experiences far removed from urban noise and the always-on digital culture”.

Explora Journeys says guests on EXPLORA I “can immerse themselves in tranquillity, at one with the rhythm of the ocean. Sleep, relaxation, mindfulness, energy and immunity-boosting are addressed holistically, producing a deep sense of physical and spiritual renewal enhanced by the revitalising influence of the sea.”

On the ship, over 1,000 square metres of space is dedicated to a luxurious spa, indoor and outdoor wellness areas, fitness facilities, outdoor Sports Court and Running Track.

“The philosophy behind Ocean Wellness is deeply rooted in Explora Journeys’ origins,” said Julanda Marais, Senior Lead Spa Operations.

“We’ve long understood the powerful effect of water and waves on body, mind and soul. This is the inspiration for Ocean Wellness. We want to give our guests a feeling of refined simplicity, relaxed luxury, and complete mental and physical replenishment.”

Experiences, programs and spaces designed to enhance the ocean’s influence on wellbeing help guests achieve inner and outer calm. From sleep to nutrition, a selection of initiatives has been curated to ensure that they achieve a feeling of renewal during their journey and beyond.
