An immersive, authentic dining experience offering the finest Pan-Asian cuisine
Named after the cherry blossom - the national flower of Japan - and symbolic of renewal and optimism, Sakura offers Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Malaysian flavours for a taste of Pan-Asian cuisine that is both authentic and energising.
The space takes inspiration from Japan’s rich cultural heritage of tradition and rituals blended with distinct Japanese design cues, to create an intimate and welcoming space. The ancient tea rooms of Kyoto provide the inspiration for Sakura, where dark wood frames lead your eye to traditional Japanese ceiling details, adorned with a cherry blossom tree canopy which shrouds diners with a warm atmosphere of festoon lights.
Authenticity extends to the kitchen, where chefs follow traditional techniques – using only the very best carefully sourced ingredients – to ensure a truly pan-Asian experience.
Expansive ocean views, a Sake sommelier, Asian-influenced beverages - including a curated selection of sakes and shōchūs - combined with seamless service and modern Asian music create a dynamic dining experience.
Signature Dishes at Sakura

Signature Dishes at Marble & Co. Grill
Grilled prime rib, aged 30-days, cherry tomatoes, Hollandaise sauce
Provenance and quality take centre stage, to create the finest version of a steakhouse classic. From a local producer in Deux Sévres region of the lush Loire Valleé, it’s clear why the famous Jersiaise breed, renowned for its sensational flavour and intense marbling, is one of the most sought-after cuts or prime rib. To truly appreciate this beautiful cut, it is topped simply with cherry tomatoes and a sumptuous Hollandaise sauce.
Crushed fingerling potatoes, Le Beurre Bordier butter from Normandy, Calvisius Oscietra caviar, crème fraîche, chives
A simple dish executed with the finest ingredients. The crushed fingerling potatoes are made with Bordier butter, arguably, the finest butter in the world, served only in the finest establishments. Potatoes are topped with Calvisius Oscietra caviar, known the world over for being some of the best quality caviar available; the caviar is sustainably produced in Italy, in an area rich with fresh spring water, contributing to its high quality and low-salt flavour.

Wines will showcase the rich vineyards of the Mediterranean, with fresh juices and cocktails honouring regional ingredients.
Signature Dishes at Med Yacht Club
Grilled octopus, San Marzano tomato sauce, Taggiasca olives, green beans, parsley
If ever there were a singular dish to represent the importance province plays in the ingredients used onboard Explora Journeys, then this is surely it. Sharp sun-dried Taggiasca olives compliment the sweet San Marzano tomatoes, creating a perfectly balanced bed for the expertly grilled, sustainably sourced octopus.
Sweet caprese with cherry tomatoes, strawberries, burrata, pesto
A true representation of the creativity and skill of our chefs, this sweet interpretation of an Italian classic will surprise and delight in equal measure. The finest cherry tomatoes and strawberries create an intriguing base, upon which our burrata sits - made with emulsified burrata cream, and adorned with even more sweet tomatoes and strawberries with a drizzle of pesto from Sicilian Bronte pistachios.

Signature Dishes at Emporium Marketplace
Handmade tortelloni, ricotta cheese, spinach, tomato-sage butter
It’s often the simplest dishes that take great skill – this classic is no exception. Tortelloni are ring-shaped, filled pasta ‘pockets’ that originate in Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region. Made onboard from scratch every day in the authentic Italian way, it’s a process best described as art-meets-science. Carefully sourced flour is used to make dough that has the correct degree of elasticity; this is essential to giving the tortelloni their mouth-watering light and silky texture before being filled with ricotta and spinach, then gently coated in tomato-sage butter.
Plant based chia yoghurt
Our curated chia yoghurt is daily made from homemade cashew milk, creating a fusion of delicious creamy flavours for guests to enjoy each morning.

When your dream of distant shores includes a private boat or yacht tour, Explora Journeys can connect you with a captain and crew able to deliver all your desires.
From plush towels and snorkel gear, chef-driven meals, and perfectly chilled champagne with corks popped precisely at sunset, we can help you navigate an adventure for just you or with only those you prefer onboard.
The sky is the limit
Our private helicopter experiences let you feel like James Bond on a secret mission to swoop low over vast sand dunes, hover over jagged mountain peaks, set down on glaciers, backcountry bike trails and ski slopes, or amid the most romantic vistas.
When only a helicopter can get you where you wish to go, we can help you take to the air for moments that are especially spectacular no matter how logistically remote. The only pre-requisite is having a dream that you wished to be fulfilled.
Plan your escape to the outdoors
Whether you wish to hike in the footsteps of Vikings, kayak through narrow river gorges in Southern France, or bike through verdant vineyards in Argentina, we can help you plan your great escape into the outdoors.
No matter the mode of your outdoor adventure, we can help you get out there where nature shows off how colossal forces created her magnificent beauty.
From delicate ecosystems to underground passages to the top of mighty precipices, our outdoor private excursions will let you touch the soul of Mother Nature.
Traversing beyond the bounds of the ocean, we take you deeper into the culture of the countries we visit with immersive all-inclusive excursions.
Our In-Country Immersions whisk you sunward via private jets or hot-air balloons, nimble ATVs or sure-footed horses to chase nearby marvels, events and wilderness treks both famously celebrated or deeply shrouded in mystery.
Designed as three- or more- day overland experiences, our In-Country Immersions are all-inclusive and available to intimately sized groups starting before or after your sailing. All you have to do is let go-and let us immerse you in the extraordinary that lies further afield.
What to expect:
Rainbows of the mist at Iguazu Falls
Iguazu Falls, Brazil, Argentina
Nestled in the cooling jade of a tropical jungle, there is no other place where you will feel more connected to the natural world than when you are standing before Iguazu Falls. Belonging to the realm of superlatives, Iguazu is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site with more than 250 falls that stretch 2.7 kilometers and plummet from heights up to 82 meters. Renowned as the largest waterfall system on earth, it is higher than Niagara and wider than Victoria Falls. It also boasts the greatest water volume with an estimated 1 million litres per second.
Your fantasy tour takes flight as you are buckled into a helicopter that flutters like a hummingbird over the site. Your accommodation at a celebrated 5-star hacienda-style hotel also has the distinction of being the only hotel within Brazil’s Iguaçu National Park.
Lochs, highlands, and epic history to match
Scotland, United Kingdom
Scotland is a destination of epic proportions. Green glens and rugged coastlines dotted with charming villages where a millennium of fascinating history and traditions are still relevant in a modern world. Helicopters whisk us to remote mountain ridges crowned with rarely seen lochs and staggering vertical drops.
Astronomers take us into the “darkest” dark sky park in the UK to study an infinite number of blazing stars. 900 years of tradition call us to a Highland “gathering and games”. And hikes into national parks lead us to picturesque reindeer herds. With accommodations in opulent castles and sumptuous dining experiences, this experience will introduce you to a side of Scotland that even the locals have never come across.
Polar Ice Cap, musk ox, and luxury camping
Greenland
No matter how well-travelled you are, it’s difficult to wrap your mind around the experience of camping on the world’s largest polar ice cap, where vibrant blue ice colours are surreal. Welcome to the wild and wonderful world of Greenland’s hinterland.
Two-thirds of Greenland lies above the Arctic Circle and for five glorious days you will too. Under 24 hours of sunlight, we ice climb on glaciers, hop in helicopters to view vast vistas of white at the edge of the ice cap, climb into snow trucks in search of herds of shaggy musk ox grazing on the tundra, and camp outside a remote radar station in off-grid, eco-luxury lodging tents that are environmentally light-on-the-ice yet wonderfully warm and welcoming. Immense landscapes experienced in the most intimate terms.
Wonderful Warsaw and Michelin-star dining
Warsaw, Poland
Explore the energy that pulses in Warsaw, Poland’s capital of cool. Waltz into its historical UNESCO-protected Old Town for a two-night stay to experience its hottest highlights: reservations at a Michelin-starred restaurant; VIP vodka tasting; private piano concert honouring the city’s son, Chopin; and an after-hours tour of the imposing Royal Castle.
A wealth of culture and leisure awaits in a city where the winds of change now breeze through a festive party that never ends.
Moonscapes and mysteries of Cappadocia
Cappadocia, Turkey
Time has no measure in the Cappadocia region of Turkey. Moonscapes and byzantine mysteries, natural beauty and human ingenuity. Your three nights of Turkish delights begins in Istanbul’s top sites including the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar. We follow the Silk Road to Cappadocia to enjoy whirling dervishes, optional sunrise balloon rides, and an underground city limestone landscape that seemingly melt like white cake icing.
Never have your eyes, mind or soul experienced such wonders.
Our Boundless Discoveries offer unbridled finesse and flourishes in expanding must-do experiences to include hidden wonders and VIP access.
Boutique in nature and bolder in adventure, our Boundless Discoveries expand must-do experiences with hidden wonders and VIP access that lets you see the world from a debonair perspective.
It’s not enough to just go to Cairo’s Great Pyramids or Rio’s Christ the Redeemer, you must stare face-to-face with our world’s marvels, intimately feel the power of their presence, find yourself tingling with goosebumps and experience it in a way that quenches your thirst to do more than anyone else can experience.
This is our definition of boundless, to go beyond limitations, in a manner that defines the pinnacle of discovery.
What to expect:

The Pillars of Seville: Flamenco and tapas
Seville, Spain
From the first strum of the guitar and dramatic step of a foot, you are captivated. The Andalusian flamenco dance is poetry in motion; a passionate choreography of music, dance and song that is immortalised in Spain’s cultural identity. The stage is set across the threshold of a graceful Andalusian hacienda that is lovingly converted into a multi-storied museum dedicated to flamenco and tapas. This distinctive experience lets you personally delve into how women combine graceful turns with dramatic steps. How guitarists perform with lightning-fast finger-rolls. How castanets are a complicated synchronisation of beats. And how much importance is placed on the wardrobe with a visit to the world’s premier designer of dresses that is considered the Christian Dior of Flamenco. The grand crescendo is a tantalising professional performance served with tapas, wine and passion. Salud!
The private world of the Pope’s summer retreat
Rome, Italy
Follow the Pope and retreat to the private papal escape, the Pontifical Palace of Castel Gandolfo. Step inside the tranquil Pontifical Villas. Behold the beauty of the Apostolic Palace. Enter the private domain of the Pope’s Apartment and enjoy exclusive access to ruins of a Roman Theatre and working Farmhouse, areas usually not available to the public but made possible with Explora Journeys. Lunch at a nearby restaurant continues to nourish the soul with spectacular views and a 1,000-plus bottle wine cellar.
An ode to olives, mamas & tapas
Málaga, Spain
Sip, savour and soak-up Andalusia, the best destination for olive oil, local wine, community and comfort. Flower-line rural roads lead us to the romantically white-washed villages with old stone churches, centuries old olive groves, and charming homes where you are invited to step inside and help grandmothers, abuelas, and mamas prepare tapas in the kitchen.
The conversation and laughter mix with the wine and a myriad of locally harvested almonds, pomegranates, and vegetables. Rustic and soulfully rewarding, a day in the Málaga countryside, surrounded by a crown of mountains, will make you feel whole again.
Soul-stirring experiences that touch the impossible, from the thrill of supersonic speed to the deepest fathoms of ocean trenches.
There is something within all of us that seeks to touch the impossible; to reach out and fulfil a transcendent need that resonates deep within our being.
Our Beyond Boundaries experiences answer that call where opportunities into the unchartered promise profound and personal enrichment.
Whether you seek the thrill of supersonic speed, the silence of polar mountain peaks, the deepest fathoms of ocean trenches, the sense of awe from meeting world-leading intellects and artisans, these experiences are more than one-off wonderments, they are soul-stirring achievements that will forever influence your perspective of the world and your role within it.
The only remaining question is how far do you dare to go to close the distance between your dreams and reality?
Dive into the wild side of Ibiza!
Ibiza, Spain
Jumping off cliffs from 1 meter and up to 10 meters high will be an extreme experience that forces you to face your fears.
Adrenaline pumping in profusion, propels that glorifying moment when your feet leave the earth, followed by the exhilaration of splashing into crystal blue waters.
The thrill of the moment matched only by the beautiful scenery: sun-kissed limestone cliffs, rugged parched coastline, the sounds of laughter and pure joy. So, what are you waiting for? This is an experience you can jump into, feet first!
Flying the ultimate jet warbird
Riga, Latvia
Strap yourself into one of most popular jet warbirds ever designed, the sleek and stealth L-39. Start the engine -- and some noise. Taxi. Throttle. Thrust. Your pilot pushes your jet to its limits. Pulling Gs. Piercing clouds. Now you take the stick and dip your wings with the altitude indicator. It’s a white-knuckle ride that will push your limits, both physically and mentally.
Photos and your personal certificate of accomplishment prove your daring to friends.
Private pampering on a remote rocky island
Gothenburg, Sweden

Wild sea air, chilled champagne, just-shucked oysters, and dramatic stories of the island’s history fuel your sense of adventure.
