Explora built its fare structure to remove decisions rather than to upsell: there are no drinks packages, no dining covers on eight of nine venues and no gratuity line at the end of the journey.
Included dining covers Sakura, Marble & Co. Grill, Fil Rouge, Med Yacht Club, Emporium Marketplace, Crema Café, Astern Lounge and Anthology's rotating guest-chef residency, with only the Chef's Kitchen tasting experience charged separately.
Drinks include a curated premium wine and spirits list, speciality coffee and in-suite refreshment replenishment.
Wi-Fi is unlimited and provided at a bandwidth that supports video calls, gratuities are included throughout, and there is no formal dress code at any point in the journey.
Shore experiences are charged separately, which is the main structural difference from Regent's model.
