Explora Journeys has introduced French luxury cosmetics house Sisley Paris as the newest wellness partner aboard EXPLORA III, marking a significant milestone as the beauty maison makes its debut at sea.

The collaboration enriches Ocean Wellness – The Spa, through tailored facial rituals and an extensive retail selection, uniting two luxury brands defined by a commitment to craftsmanship and personalized care. Signature treatments take place in a dedicated Sisley treatment suite within Ocean Wellness – The Spa, incorporating advanced botanical skincare to complement Explora Journeys’ signature Ocean State of Mind.

“Ocean Wellness is about creating the time and space for our guests to switch off, restore and reconnect,” said Anna Nash, President of Explora Journeys. “Sisley Paris shares our belief in highly personalized care and exceptional quality. As two family-owned brands, there is also a natural alignment in the way we think about craftsmanship, longevity and attention to detail, making this a partnership that feels very natural for Explora Journeys.”

“Sisley has always been guided by a passion for botanical science, sensorial beauty and tailored care,” said Christine d’Ornano, General Manager and co-owner of Sisley Paris. “We are delighted to bring our skincare expertise to EXPLORA III, creating a dedicated haven at sea where guests can experience our signature facial rituals and curated collections within the exceptional setting of Ocean Wellness – The Spa.”

Drawing on five decades of pioneering research and scientific innovation, Sisley Paris offers guests aboard EXPLORA III a bespoke approach to phyto-cosmetology, harmonizing the wellness benefits of natural botanical extracts, essential oils, minerals and trace elements with modern science. Within the dedicated treatment suite, specially trained therapists deliver tailored skincare rituals using Sisley’s plant-based formulas and signature massage protocols.

“Nature is the common thread connecting our wellness philosophy with Sisley Paris’ approach to skincare,” said Julanda Marais, Head of OceanWellness Explora Journeys. “Bringing the power of plants into our ocean-inspired wellness space allows us to introduce exceptional new facial rituals that wonderfully complement our existing menu.”

The onboard treatment menu features two high-performance Sisley facial rituals created to restore and revitalize the skin:
• The exclusive Sisley Signature Facial (available in either 60 minutes or 90 minutes sessions): The experience, like an invitation to travel and let go, is an escape from time. Sisley’s excellence is at the heart of this multi-sensory massage ritual. Combining relaxation and unique techniques to work each facial muscle one by one and offer an immediate lift.
• Sisley Black Rose Facial (90 minutes): A timeless experience offering an exceptional feeling of wellbeing. A true beauty appointment, deliciously and naturally rose scented, this gentle and pleasant journey relaxes the face, smoothes features and reveals the skin’s radiance.

By introducing Sisley Paris alongside its existing wellness partners, including Dr. Levy Switzerland, Aromatherapy Associates and Subtle Energies, Explora Journeys deepens its commitment to holistic care, further elevating the ocean travel experience aboard EXPLORA III. The partnership will subsequently be extended to EXPLORA I and EXPLORA II in 2027, allowing more guests across the fleet to experience Sisley Paris' first-ever wellness offering at sea.
