I was thrilled to be invited on board Explora Journey's brand new ship, Explora I. I boarded this stunning ship with a few of my colleagues and we couldn't wait to take a look around! The part of the ship that stood out to me the most was the spa...
The minute you step into The Spa, your wellness journey begins. The spa on board Explora I is a very calming space, designed to reduce the pressures of everyday life. The spa treatments that I experienced on board, were the best I have had anywhere in the world. The range of treatments available is diverse and not just focused on the body, but the mind too. There are also treatments that couples can enjoy together and some treatments are available to book in your own suite, if that is preferable.
The products that they use during treatments are also available to buy, however the spa team do not put pressure on you to purchase anything, they just want you to relax and enjoy your time in the spa. If you did want to buy any products, wellness gifts are available to support your energy levels, enhancing sleep, relaxation, mindfulness and immunity.
The spa also has a wellness area, with heated and cold-water relaxation features. Those not booked in for treatments can also use these facilities at selected times. The below gives you some examples of the range that is on offer in The Spa and their most popular treatments, to invigorate the senses and lift your spirits.
- Advanced deep tissue massage for 90 minutes
- The Ultimate bespoke aromatherapy massage for 90 minutes
- Ocean deep recovery fatigue fighter for 90 minutes
- Deluxe facials - using collection by Dr Levy Switzerland
- Immune boosting treatments for 2 hours and 45 minutes

The spa offers bespoke treatments for gentlemen, an essential facial by Refinery and a power lift by Dr. Levy Switzerland. Prices are from 40 euros to 675 euros depending on the treatment and showing the diversity of what is available.
Adjacent to the spa is a hair salon and barbers. For the gentlemen, the Barbers offers beard trims, haircuts and a hot towel wet shave and mini facial as a package too. Overall, I was very impressed with the spa and I received a very warm welcome, I was instantly made to feel at ease and relaxed the minute I walked through the door.
The spa was extremely popular and had a great reputation. Guests that we spoke to who had used the spa like ourselves, were really impressed with their experience and agreed that it was the best spa treatment ever. Therefore, when on board, we recommend you book very early as we are confident that you won't regret it and will feel more relaxed and renewed from your treatment.
