Last week, Explora Journeys, part of the MSC Group, revealed the latest design of the Owner’s Residence, the largest living space aboard the brand’s newest ship, EXPLORA I! The Owner’s Residence creates the largest living space onboard the luxury vessel, offering multiple spaces to relax, entertain and unwind while enjoying ocean views from the private outdoor terrace, extending over the full ship's width.

The living space spans over 3,014 square feet, comprising a spacious suite area of 1,668 square feet and a 1,345-square-foot outdoor terrace, complete with an infinity whirlpool and a dining table for eight guests.
