Cruise Master, based in Dubai, UAE, has been appointed by Explora Journeys, the luxury lifestyle brand of the MSC Group, as a preferred advisor for the Middle Eastern market.

 

Explora Journeys will launch a fleet of six ships, with EXPLORA I embarking on her maiden journey on August 1 from Copenhagen, Denmark and EXPLORA II currently being under construction.

 

Designed in partnership with the world’s foremost superyacht and luxury hospitality designers, the innovative ship will seamlessly blend elegant Swiss precision with modern European craftsmanship. With a choice of 461 oceanfront suites and residences, guests will enjoy striking views at sea and in port from their floor to ceiling windows and personal private terrace. 

 

All the decks will provide ample indoor public space, maximising guest choice and seclusion with generous outdoor decks that will boast more than 2,500 square metres overlooking the sea, with private cabanas and a number of outdoor pools. 

 

With the perfect blend of intimate and vibrant spaces, a guest to crew ratio of 1.25 to 1 ensures anticipatory service at every turn. Tailored to suit personal preferences, flexible dining times at nine distinct restaurants will provide unrivalled variety at sea. Each venue will celebrate global culinary talents, with a focus on wholesome ingredients sustainably sourced from local partners. To make sure guests are spoilt for choice, several indoor and outdoor bars and lounges will also be available. Relaxation begins the moment a guest steps aboard, not having to reach for their wallet for any additional costs.

 

Commenting on this partnership, Suzanne Kochen, Head of Sales Northern Europe and Middle East Explora Journeys, said “A different and wonderful new form of ocean travel that will evolve and attract a global audience with a style of vibrant, cosmopolitan and relaxed European Luxury. The ship, EXPLORA I will offer impressive itineraries to renowned destinations with lesser traveled ports.”

 

“We are very excited with this partnership. The Explora Journeys Cruise brand will take the next generation of luxury travelers on a journey that will offer them authentic experiences. The target audience will be the well-traveled and sophisticated audience that is looking at curated experiences” added Ashok Kumar, Founder and Managing Director Cruise Master. – TradeArabia News Service
