Explora I hosts four-day Ocean Wellness Retreat
The Explora Journeys program combined meditation, fitness activities and a private spa ritual aboard the luxury ship.
A four-day Ocean Wellness Retreat aboard Explora I offered a program of meditation, face yoga and fitness boot camp sessions. The participating reporter also experienced Sacred Alchemy, a private spa ritual, during the sailing.
Explora I, part of the Explora Journeys luxury fleet, has no windowless interior cabins. Every accommodation is an ocean-facing suite with a balcony. The ship’s wellness amenities include indoor and outdoor gyms, a spa, sports courts and a running track.
Explora Journeys president Anna Nash described the company’s sailings as ocean travel, presenting the concept as a floating hotel located on the ocean.
The wellness program was initially designed for the Grand Journey itinerary. Its sequence of sea days during an Atlantic crossing is intended to give passengers an opportunity to immerse themselves in the practices and connect with nature.
The reporter said entry-level suites are available on one-week, all-inclusive sailings, although the price and suite measurements are not included here. Professional tennis player Jannik Sinner is the cruise line’s brand ambassador and is scheduled to run some wellness sessions aboard Explora III.
