Explora III focuses on luxury and environmental protection

Explora III, a luxury cruise ship from MSC Cruises' Explora Journeys brand, has been delivered to its owner in Genoa, Italy, by Fincantieri on July 23. The vessel is powered by liquefied natural gas and will offer a luxurious experience to its guests as it travels to destinations in Northern Europe, Iceland, Greenland, and North America.

The ship features various green technologies, including shore power connection and will be able to use renewable fuels like bioLNG and synthetic LNG in the future. Explora III boasts 19.2 meters of additional length compared to its sister ships, offering more public spaces and luxurious amenities, including redesigned hall, ocean penthouses, and exclusive owner's residences designed by architects like Patricia Urquiola.
