Explora Journeys, the luxury arm of MSC is offering Canadians a special promotion on select Caribbean and Mediterranean cruises. 

Passengers who book by April 1, 2025 will receive a $300 Journey Experience Credit per suite (terms and conditions apply) which is combinable with other offers. 

Additionally, Explora has announced new wellness retreats on its luxury ships, EXPLORA I and EXPLORA II. The new program is a series of immersive wellbeing experiences at sea. The on-board retreat is designed to “restore balance, elevate vitality, and inspire self-discovery.” These new one- and two-night retreats blend the healing power of the ocean with expert-led practices in movement, mindfulness, and holistic rejuvenation. 

“The ocean’s natural rhythm is vast, soothing, and deeply restorative,” says Julanda Marais, Senior Lead Spa at Explora Journeys. “Our Ocean Wellness Retreats are crafted to reflect this, offering guests a journey of renewal and reconnection. Through movement, meditation, and immersive wellbeing experiences, we invite them to embrace the ocean’s flow—emerging refreshed, rebalanced, and revitalised.”

The upcoming retreats are available to guests onboard EXPLORA II from March 18 – 25, 2025 and EXPLORA I from April 2 - 9, 2025.

  • Step Into Serenity – One-Day Retreat
    A transformative day of purification and renewal, blending yoga, pranayama, and reflective practices to cultivate serenity and inner calm.

  • The Depths of Exploration – Two-Day Retreat
