EXPLORA I unveils new entertainment, introduces "digital activities"

Explora Journeys has launched new entertainment programming aboard EXPLORA I, commencing on July 5.

The 14-day program, featuring a new cast of international artists, promises to elevate the guest experience with a series of evening performances, interactive activities, and exclusive events.

A standout feature of the offerings is the “digital activities,” a pioneering initiative within the cruise industry.

Let's get digital 

Utilizing special QR codes throughout the ship, guests can engage in unique daily activities on their devices, including Explora Journeys Trivia, Crosswords, and Word Searches themed to the journey’s locale, updated daily.

Additionally, timeless games like Sudoku and Chess can be enjoyed at any serene spot on the ship.

The technology also allows guests to make special musical requests directly to the performers.

By scanning a QR code in the Astern Lounge during late-night gigs, guests can view song lists, send requests, choose songs, or even suggest new ones, creating an interactive and personal connection with the musicians.

Pop-up daytime activities

 Guests can expect spontaneous pop-up performances by the pool from musicians, performers, and wellness teams, all harmonizing with the moment.

These experiences are complemented by specially paired beverages and snacks, ensuring every desire is met without leaving the perfect spot.

Hosted events

Explora Journeys also presents a program of new hosted events, encouraging guests to forge new connections.

Daily progressive events cultivate a sense of community, while unique one-off events and solo activities allow guests to choose their level of engagement.

The event lineup includes more Rituals, Daytime Sports, Interactive events, and an intriguing new multi-day secret Murder Mystery game.

Evening entertainment

Later in the evening, guests are invited to the Explora Music Series, a nightly live spectacle in the Journeys Lounge.

Six new vocalists present a fourteen-night program without repeat performances, supported by phenomenal guest acts and luminaries.

The ensemble also plays various musical instruments, performing in diverse lineups and events around the ship.

Evening choices include main stage performances, intimate lobby bar sessions, lively nights in the Astern Lounge with interactivity and dancing, and late-night wellness events celebrating the night sky.

Summer of special performances

Throughout the journey, guests can delight in everything from DJ and Saxophone sets to the Songbook series honouring artists like Billy Joel and Carole King.

New experiences include Voices of Vegas featuring music from Sinatra to Adele, and Motor City, a feel-good musical revue with outstanding musicians. New performers will also shine as solo artists supported by musicians, with Electric Violinists and West End singers among the resident team.

This summer, a variety of visiting performers, cultured luminaries, and the newest lineup of Steinway Exclusive performers will ensure a fresh and exciting experience each evening.

Explora Journeys also welcomes new talent to their leadership team with the additions of Ray Carr, Michael Langley, and Keri Noble as Entertainment Managers.
