Explora IV Cruises
Explora IV: A new sense of space at sea
Launching in summer 2027, Explora IV will be the fourth ship in the Explora Journeys fleet and the line’s second LNG-powered vessel. She builds on the brand’s residential approach to cruising with generous outdoor decks, five heated pools, seven restaurants, and 12 bars and lounges. Her first season will take guests through the Mediterranean, with further journeys extending into the Caribbean, Central America, and South America.
Explora IV introduces the next evolution of Explora Journeys’ relaxed, contemporary style, with an emphasis on space, privacy, and a close connection to the ocean. Floor-to-ceiling windows, private terraces, and expansive public areas help create a light, residential feel throughout the ship, while the new Patricia Urquiola-designed Owner’s Residence adds another distinctive design element. For Australian travellers who enjoy smaller ships and unrushed days at sea, Explora IV offers a refined alternative to traditional cruising, with plenty of room to settle in and make the journey part of the holiday.
