Explora Journey Ship Fill Rate

Struggling to fill up

Explora Journey is the cherry on top, but I wish that cherry were a melon," Patrick Pourbaix diplomatically put it. Without revealing the fill rate, the France director of the company admitted: Explora Journeys' first ship, Explora I, is far from full.

around 5 percent of French passengers on board.

I can confirm—I went in December, departing from Miami less than a month after its inauguration, and it was only 50% full. Plus, it was mostly Americans. I thought it was just the beginning, so we’ll see. I’m going back on November 10th, departing from Barcelona—I’ll share my thoughts with you then!

Hi there, The second Explora ship launched in September, and there will be six Explora ships—so they’ll need to fill them up! The upside when the ship isn’t full is that the staff really goes above and beyond. The Explora brand isn’t well-known yet. I’m checking the prices, but they’re pretty high ;)

.....the advantage when the ship isn’t full is that the staff has to go the extra mile

Good evening, ... not so sure! Because when the ship is usually half-full, the company adjusts the number of crew members to match the occupancy rate. Best regards

Good evening,

The planned investments amount to 3.5 billion euros by 2028 to launch Explora Journeys, so I’m not sure MSC needs to cut staff costs.
