## Families, adults-only areas, and practical information

Checked: 2026-07-04

### Children and families

- Nautilus Club — A dedicated kids and youth club for ages 6 to 17. It offers video games, table tennis, table soccer, board games and more.

### Adults-only areas

- Helios Pool — An adults-only pool area facing forward on Deck 12. A quiet area with sunbeds, lounge chairs, bar seats, and more.
- Casino — A small casino. It is smoke-free, and guests must be aged 18 or over.

### Practical information (line-wide)

| Item | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Onboard currency | EUR |
| Gratuities | Gratuities for crew, restaurant staff, bartenders and others are included in the base fare as part of the all-inclusive offer, so there is no need to tip extra. There is also no particular custom of adding extra tips. However, tips for shore excursion guides and drivers are not included in the fare and are given at your discretion. |
| Payment | Cashless onboard |
| Voltage | Supports both 110V and 220V. |
| Formal nights | There are no formal nights (there are no nights requiring black tie or evening dresses). This is promoted as a point of differentiation from other traditional luxury cruise lines. |
| Medical facilities | There is a 24-hour medical center with nurses and doctors on staff, but it is not equivalent to a hospital on land and mainly handles first aid and minor conditions. Consultation and treatment costs are not included in the fare and are charged separately (the specific fee structure is not public). |
| Bringing items onboard | The official boarding terms explicitly state that bringing alcohol on board is prohibited. On the other hand, there are also multiple reports from actual passengers that bringing wine and the like was tolerated, so handling on the spot appears to vary. It is safest to check with the cruise line in advance. |
| Mobile and connectivity | No information on cruise-line-specific mobile roaming charges or partner plans could be confirmed. Because unlimited Wi-Fi is included in the fare, the usual approach at sea is to switch to airplane mode and use the onboard Wi-Fi. |

## Boarding, atmosphere, and links

Checked: 2026-07-04

### Boarding and logistics

- Japan departures: No
- Departure ports: Genoa (Italy, maiden voyage departure)

### Atmosphere and guests

- All ages
- A calm, all-suite, all-inclusive luxury ship. Children are allowed, but the actual clientele is mainly honeymooners, anniversary travelers, adult couples, and seniors because of its pricing and program structure.
- Primarily affluent couples and seniors from North America and Europe. Mediterranean cruise enthusiasts are the main target.

Explora IV is a newbuild ship with LNG (liquefied natural gas) dual-fuel propulsion. It has cold-ironing equipment for connecting to shore power while berthed. LNG has the potential to reduce CO2 emissions by about 25% compared with conventional fuel, and the design can eventually switch to bio-LNG or synthetic LNG. This forms part of the fleet-wide policy targeting net zero by 2050.
