There's also a spectacular drone light show, a DJ set with Bob Sinclar, and the bars all open until 3am. The plan is to have six Explora Journey ships by 2028. Atriums on cruise ships tend to be elaborate, blingy affairs – statements of a kind. And on Explora III it’s only slightly less over-the-top, with a curved gold staircase with steps crafted from Sahara Noir marble. This ship was designed with those in mind who have never been on a cruise – and those who have no wish to do so.
