Explora Journeys, a luxury lifestyle ocean brand, is becoming increasingly popular with discerning travelers. Fleet-wise, Explora I and Explora II are already sailing the world’s ocean, while four more ships will arrive between 2026 and 2028. And this week, the luxury line unveiled a new Explora Club loyalty program.
“Look for perks galore in this five-level loyalty program structure – Classic, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond,” says Shelby Steudle, president, Pavlus Travel. Each of those levels will offer a curated collection of benefits — from priority access and bespoke events to personalized gifts and exclusive savings.

Explora Club Loyalty Program Status Match
Best of all, with Explora Club’s Status Match, guests holding loyalty status with other luxury cruise programs are welcomed into Explora Club with equivalent level recognition from their very first journey.
By July 2025, loyalty club members will also have access to a personalized “My Explora” area, where benefits and level status will be visible. Past journeys will also be recognized and factored into each member’s level.
The introduction of Explora Club is another way for clients to celebrate Explora Journey’s “Ocean State of Mind” experience at sea.
If you’ve traveled on Explora Journeys, you’re aware of how pampering and luxurious this experience can be. But if not, it’s good to know that several of Pavlus Travel’s executives recently sailed.
