Explora Journeys Policies: Everything in One Place

This page pulls together the Explora Journeys policies our advisors get asked about most - cancellation rules, baggage limits, booking and deposit terms, dining, gratuities, and more. Each topic has its own dedicated page linked below with the full details.

Explora Journeys, the luxury lifestyle brand from MSC Group, follows a graduated cancellation schedule similar to other luxury lines - full refund well in advance of sailing, with penalties escalating in stages as departure approaches and reaching 100% inside the final month before the voyage. Confirming the exact schedule for your specific itinerary and suite category is worthwhile since terms can vary.

Because Explora Journeys's details can be updated between booking and departure, checking with an advisor before you finalize plans is the safest way to avoid a surprise later.
