Luxury cruise line Explora Journeys has launched a new entertainment program aboard Explora I. Programming began on July 5 and features evening performances, interactive activities and exclusive events.

A notable addition is the line's “Digital Activities” initiative, which allows guests to engage in daily activities on their devices using QR codes placed throughout the ship. These activities include trivia, crosswords and word searches themed to the journey's location. Guests can also make song requests to performers in the Astern Lounge using this technology.

Daytime activities include spontaneous pop-up performances by the pool from musicians, performers and wellness teams. The cruise line has also introduced new hosted events to encourage guest interaction, including a multi-day secret Murder Mystery game.

Evening entertainment offers a variety of musical experiences across different venues, from poolside DJs to piano music in the Lobby and Explora Lounges. The Explora Music Series in the Journeys Lounge features six new vocalists presenting a fourteen-night program without repeat performances.

Special performances throughout the summer will include DJ and saxophone sets, tributes to artists like Billy Joel and Carole King and new shows such as "Voices of Vegas" and "Motor City."

"We are thrilled to introduce more activities and performances, bringing each journey to life with color and variety,” said Steve Leatham, vice president of entertainment, cruises division. “Our team will captivate younger guests in the Nautilus, with new activities and events enhancing this award-winning family program."
