Explora Journeys Health & Safety Protocols

Explora Journeys, the luxury ocean travel brand of the MSC Group, integrates advanced ship design with high-standard maritime health protocols. Their health and safety framework focuses on state-of-the-art environmental systems, comprehensive shipboard medical services, and strict adherence to international public health regulations.

• Advanced Air Filtration: All indoor ship spaces and oceanfront suites are equipped with advanced HVAC systems that continuously circulate 100% fresh, purified air, preventing air recirculation between private suites and public areas.
• Sanitation Protocols: Ships undergo intensive daily sanitation schedules using medical-grade cleaning solutions. Public venues, high-touch surfaces, and suite accommodations are meticulously disinfected to maintain a clean environment.
• Onboard Medical Care: Every vessel features a 24/7 Medical Center staffed by registered doctors and nurses. Facilities meet or exceed CLIA standards and are equipped to diagnose, stabilize, and treat acute health conditions or coordinate shoreside transfers if higher levels of care are necessary.
• Pre-Boarding Public Health Screening: Guests must complete a mandatory Public Health Questionnaire prior to embarkation to monitor for symptoms of communicable illnesses, ensuring a healthy onboard community before setting sail.
• Pregnancy and Infant Regulations: For guest safety, Explora Journeys cannot accommodate passengers who will reach or exceed their 24th week of pregnancy at any point during the journey. Infants must be at least 6 months old to board, or 12 months old for transoceanic sailings, Grand Journeys, and itineraries with consecutive sea days.
