EXPLORA JOURNEYS PRESENTS NEW OCEAN WELLNESS RETREATS ON GRAND JOURNEYS ABOARD EXPLORA  I & EXPLORA  II

In October and November 2025, Guests on Grand Journeys have the chance to experience transformative Ocean Wellness Retreats

Explora Journeys, the luxury lifestyle ocean travel brand of the MSC Group, announces its latest Ocean Wellness Retreats – a series of immersive, one-day wellbeing

programmes offered exclusively on Grand Journeys aboard EXPLORA I and EXPLORA II. These curated experiences invite guests to elevate their travel through holistic wellness practices

inspired by both Eastern and Western traditions, all while sailing across some of the world’s most remarkable ocean routes.

The Ocean Wellness Retreats offer a sanctuary of calm through practices such as Surya Shakti Yoga, pranayama, sound healing, Gong Baths under the stars, and guided reflection. Each retreat

is thoughtfully designed to promote inner peace and emotional renewal, blending yoga, breathwork, sound sessions, and introspective techniques. Guests are welcome to attend multiple

retreats throughout the voyage to deepen their experience.

During Grand Journeys, guests have the luxury of time and space – perfect conditions for personal transformation. The Ocean Wellness Retreats harness this special setting to offer deeper self-

awareness, balance, and serenity, all framed by the soothing rhythm of the ocean waves.

“Our Ocean Wellness Retreats exemplify how travel can nurture the mind, body and soul,” said Julanda Marais, Head of Ocean Wellness Explora Journeys. “These retreats invite guests to slow down and

reconnect – within themselves, and with the vast, calming energy of the sea.”
