The Sleep Retreat also offers access to expert-led workshops that help uncover the importance of sleep, giving answers to an important – yet often overlooked – subject.

Medical Centre

Medical Centre

Do you have a doctor and medical services on board?

Our onboard Medical Centres are available 24/7 for emergencies. In addition, we offer twice daily clinics for routine medical needs. Our onboard medical facilities meet or exceed the standards for cruise ship medical centres adopted by the Cruise Line Industry Association (CLIA) and include some diagnostic and treatment abilities; however, the ship’s medical centres do not have the same resources as a land-based hospital. They are staffed by full-time registered doctors and nurses who are trained to manage, stabilise, and treat most acute medical conditions. If more advanced care is required, guests may be transferred to a shoreside medical facility for continued treatment. Guests unable to manage their daily personal care activities (feeding, bathing, dressing and toileting etc.) should travel with a caregiver who can assist with these tasks.

Do I have to pay for medical care onboard?

While medical services on board are subject to fees, Explora Journeys offers a complimentary initial consultation for non-complex conditions. We strongly recommend that all guests obtain comprehensive travel health insurance that covers medical treatment, emergency repatriation, and any related expenses.

Are guests who are pregnant permitted to sail?

For the health and safety of both mother and unborn child, Explora Journeys cannot accommodate guests who will be more than 23 weeks and 6 days pregnant at any time during the Journey. If you are pregnant but will be less than 23 weeks and 6 days at any point during the Journey, you will need to provide a letter from your obstetrician confirming your expected due date, that your pregnancy is low-risk, and that you are fit to travel without immediate access to specialised obstetric or neonatal care.

If you have already booked and do not meet this requirement, please contact your Travel Advisor or email guestcare@explorajourneys.com. Explora Journeys reserves the right to refuse boarding rights to any Guest who appears to be in an advanced state of pregnancy or who does not provide the medical certificate and shall have no liability in respect of such refusal.

Where can I store medication that needs to be refrigerated?

Every Suite is equipped with a private bar fridge. In case you need special storage for your medication, please let us know in advance.

Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility

Explora Journeys does not have any single use plastic onboard its ships and ashore.

We ban single-use plastic from our ships, also packaging of deliveries will be reduced to a minimum. Offering fresh and locally-sourced food gives us the possibility to be more respectful with the planet and the destinations we visit.

We don’t allow any single-use-plastic onboard our ships and while ashore during our experiences on dry land. Additionally, we offer environmentally conscious Destination Experiences as well as recycling and refillable bottles onboard.

We are working with tour operators that offer sustainable experiences with no single-use-plastic also ashore. Our Destination Experiences are planned to put a spotlight on local talents, craftsmanship, culture, gastronomy and traditions​​.

Our advanced wastewater treatment systems onboard process wastewater to near tap water quality. We discarge our ballast water exclusively on land while we are in the port. We have adopted strict treatment regimes to remove threats of species transportation through ballast water.
