INTRODUCING EXPLORA JOURNEYS The concept: Vibrant, cosmopolitan, relaxed European luxury at sea. Instead of cruises, we create journeys – of the mind, and across the oceans of the world. Visits to places on and off the beaten track. On board: Spaces that offer guests relaxed luxury, creating a home at sea. Restoring life’s essential balance with a combination of discovery and appreciation for wellbeing and nature. This is what our new discerning travellers have asked for and this is what they will enjoy on Explora Journeys. OUR JOURNEY BEGINS SUMMER 2023 Explora Journeys is the new luxury lifestyle travel brand launched by the MSC Group with the ambition to redefine the luxury cruise category. 3 BACK TO CONTENTS
THE INSPIRATION BEHIND OUR NAME Our name – Explora Journeys – is inspired by our PASSION for exploration and discovery, alongside an inherent RESPECT for the seas and oceans of the world. It’s why our MODERN, elegant brand logo subtly reflects the curves and MOVEMENT of the sea and waves. 4 BACK TO CONTENTS
THE EXPLORA JOURNEYS MANDALA An integral element of the logo and brand is the Explora Journeys MANDALA – DESIGNED by Alexa Aponte-Vago, CFO of the MSC Group, daughter of founder Gianluigi Aponte and wife of Chairman PierfrancescoVago. With deep roots in spirituality, the mandala pattern represents a journey of personal discovery and fulfilment. Illustrations of the lotus flower symbolise purity of body, speech and mind, while a nod to the fleur-de-lis represents humility and a clear connection to our European heritage. 5 BACK TO CONTENTS

It relaxes you and creates an energy in you that inspires inner and outer discovery, broadens horizons and triggers new connections. All of this creates an emotional connection that is powerful, transformative, yet universal. We call it the Ocean State of Mind. The Ocean State of Mind is reached only with Explora Journeys. It’s why all that we do is designed to offer refined yet effortless luxury, with the opportunity for exploration and transformation of the inner and outer self, resulting in a state that is uniquely rewarding — physically, intellectually and spiritually. DISCOVER THE OCEAN STATE OF MIND The OCEAN and its influence sits at the heart of the Explora Journeys brand. The ocean connects you with YOURSELF, PEOPLE and the places around you. 7 BACK TO CONTENTS
