Sakura

An immersive, authentic dining experience offering the finest Pan-Asian cuisine

Named after the cherry blossom - the national flower of Japan - and symbolic of renewal and optimism, Sakura offers Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Malaysian flavours for a taste of Pan-Asian cuisine that is both authentic and energising.

The space takes inspiration from Japan’s rich cultural heritage of tradition and rituals blended with distinct Japanese design cues, to create an intimate and welcoming space. The ancient tea rooms of Kyoto provide the inspiration for Sakura, where dark wood frames lead your eye to traditional Japanese ceiling details, adorned with a cherry blossom tree canopy which shrouds diners with a warm atmosphere of festoon lights.

Authenticity extends to the kitchen, where chefs follow traditional techniques – using only the very best carefully sourced ingredients – to ensure a truly pan-Asian experience.

Expansive ocean views, a Sake sommelier, Asian-influenced beverages - including a curated selection of sakes and shōchūs - combined with seamless service and modern Asian music create a dynamic dining experience.

Signature Dishes at Sakura

Wagyu beef tataki, wakame salad, smoked Madagascan pepper

Never cooked or grilled, our sustainably sourced prime grade 5 Japanese wagyu beef is delicately torched by our chefs: this authentic method of cooking ensures that the best qualities of the beef are preserved for the guests’ mouth-watering enjoyment.

Kaffir lime pavlova, mango, passion fruit brunoise, mango sorbet

A fusion of east and west, this unique interpretation of pavlova is a perfect representation of the passionate, creative expertise and multicultural diversity of our talented pastry team .

Kale salad

Another example of our chefs’ ingenuity, a humble kale salad is transformed into culinary art for our guests to enjoy. This superfood salad is not simply dressed, but cured with the finest quality of sesame dressing for a rounded flavour - it represents a fusion of clean living with the flavours of Asia.

Marble & Co. Grill

A redefined European steakhouse experience

Inspired by the marbling found in only the finest beef, Marble & Co. Grill serves exceptional cuts, personally sourced and sustainably farmed.

The menu has been designed to take guests on a journey of discovery, with sumptuous, rare meats sourced for their flavour and distinctive provenance. More than a steakhouse, Marble & Co is the realisation of a vision where careful attention to ingredients and passion for cooking come together to create a truly special dining experience.

This redefined European steakhouse experience is reflected through the modern, understated yet sophisticated design with soft lighting and relaxed, attentive service. The experience is augmented by an in-house dry ager and a cellar boasting a superb selection of fine wines.

Signature Dishes at Marble & Co. Grill

Grilled prime rib, aged 30-days, cherry tomatoes, Hollandaise sauce

Provenance and quality take centre stage, to create the finest version of a steakhouse classic. From a local producer in Deux Sévres region of the lush Loire Valleé, it’s clear why the famous Jersiaise breed, renowned for its sensational flavour and intense marbling, is one of the most sought-after cuts or prime rib. To truly appreciate this beautiful cut, it is topped simply with cherry tomatoes and a sumptuous Hollandaise sauce.

Crushed fingerling potatoes, Le Beurre Bordier butter from Normandy, Calvisius Oscietra caviar, crème fraîche, chives

A simple dish executed with the finest ingredients. The crushed fingerling potatoes are made with Bordier butter, arguably, the finest butter in the world, served only in the finest establishments. Potatoes are topped with Calvisius Oscietra caviar, known the world over for being some of the best quality caviar available; the caviar is sustainably produced in Italy, in an area rich with fresh spring water, contributing to its high quality and low-salt flavour.

Med Yacht Club

A relaxed celebration of the flavours, ambience and la dolce vita of the Mediterranean

Inspired by sailings across crystal clear waters, the Med Yacht Club is influenced by sophisticated, beachside Mediterranean restaurants, embracing the varied cuisines of the region.

Effortlessly refined in its design, Med Yacht Club creates a relaxed, convivial atmosphere, where bright sunshine streaming through large portholes and Med-influenced music transport guests on a culinary journey inspired by sea travel.

Inspired by authentic Mediterranean dining, and infusing tastes and textures of Italy, Spain, Greece, France, and North Africa – while incorporating plant-based, vegetarian and wholesome ingredients – the menu of Med Yacht Club serves sharing plates, created with passion, for guests to enjoy with friends and family alike. Each dish is inspired by the most authentic of Mediterranean ingredients and flavours.

Wines will showcase the rich vineyards of the Mediterranean, with fresh juices and cocktails honouring regional ingredients.

Signature Dishes at Med Yacht Club

Grilled octopus, San Marzano tomato sauce, Taggiasca olives, green beans, parsley

If ever there were a singular dish to represent the importance province plays in the ingredients used onboard Explora Journeys, then this is surely it. Sharp sun-dried Taggiasca olives compliment the sweet San Marzano tomatoes, creating a perfectly balanced bed for the expertly grilled, sustainably sourced octopus.

Sweet caprese with cherry tomatoes, strawberries, burrata, pesto

A true representation of the creativity and skill of our chefs, this sweet interpretation of an Italian classic will surprise and delight in equal measure. The finest cherry tomatoes and strawberries create an intriguing base, upon which our burrata sits - made with emulsified burrata cream, and adorned with even more sweet tomatoes and strawberries with a drizzle of pesto from Sicilian Bronte pistachios.

Effortless all-day dining, inspired by cuisines and flavours from across the globe

An Emporium is defined as a place offering many different things, a place for merchants to showcase their best produce (coming from the Greek word emporion - ἐμπόριον).

Emporium Marketplace is an effortless all-day dining restaurant, bringing the global culinary talent and produce to the fore to offer diverse cuisines with a focus on quality produce, inspired by local destinations, and allowing guests total flexibility in what they choose to eat, and when.

Bathed in natural bright light, several separate cooking stations evolve throughout the day. White marble and minimalist design take centre stage, allowing the freshest ingredients to make the food the true hero of this elegant relaxed space.

Features include sushi, fresh seafood and a daily rotisserie offering grilled, roasted, and slow-cooked meats. Pasta is cooked to order, and freshly baked pizzas and bread are on offer as are home-made sandwiches. The charcuterie, fromagerie, boulangerie and patisserie stations enhance the experience. Fresh juices, smoothies and acai bowls are provided during breakfast.

Signature Dishes at Emporium Marketplace

Handmade tortelloni, ricotta cheese, spinach, tomato-sage butter

It’s often the simplest dishes that take great skill – this classic is no exception. Tortelloni are ring-shaped, filled pasta ‘pockets’ that originate in Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region. Made onboard from scratch every day in the authentic Italian way, it’s a process best described as art-meets-science. Carefully sourced flour is used to make dough that has the correct degree of elasticity; this is essential to giving the tortelloni their mouth-watering light and silky texture before being filled with ricotta and spinach, then gently coated in tomato-sage butter.

Plant based chia yoghurt

Our curated chia yoghurt is daily made from homemade cashew milk, creating a fusion of delicious creamy flavours for guests to enjoy each morning.
