The spa is home to an array of restorative experiences to rejuvenate and relax you while on board. Alongside typical spa amenities including the steam room, hydrotherapy pool and Finnish sauna, guests can also enjoy several unique experiences in the spa.

The salt cave is a cosy area covered in Himalayan salt bricks and mineral-infused air to evoke a sense of calmness and presence.
The ice fall is a regenerative experience that revitalises the body through cold ice blasts, perfectly complemented by a session in the Finnish sauna or steam room for best results. The heated marble loungers are the ultimate area to sit back and relax as you absorb the infrared heat to comfort and warm the body.

EXPLORA III is the first Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) ship, marking the beginning of EXPLORA JOURNEYS’ efforts to decarbonise their marine operations and the next step in the luxury line’s environmental strategy. When cooled, the gas is reduced to a significantly smaller volume, which when used improves their efficiency, sustainability and shore-power capability, meaning it can connect to onshore electricity while it’s docked in port.
