BTN interviews Achille Staiano, Chief Commercial Officer of Explora Journeys, discussed how the brand is redefining luxury ocean travel through its “Ocean State of Mind” philosophy—centered on calm, connection, and discovery. He explained that Explora Journeys isn’t replicating traditional cruises but creating immersive, unhurried experiences with spacious residential-style suites, curated cuisine, and meaningful cultural engagement. Staiano noted that today’s travelers seek authenticity and purpose over excess, with sustainability integral to the brand’s design—from LNG-powered ships to eliminating single-use plastics. Through innovations like the Sky & Sea program and partnerships such as with ambassador Jannik Sinner, Explora Journeys is leading a new era of mindful, transformative, and environmentally conscious luxury travel.
