Explora Journeys, the luxury lifestyle ocean travel brand of the MSC Group, is proud to announce its partnership with world-renowned tennis champion Jannik Sinner, who joins the brand as its new Global Ambassador. The announcement comes just ahead of the US Open, where Sinner will once again compete on one of tennis’s most prestigious stages.
This collaboration is built on shared values of precision, passion, and the pursuit of excellence. Sinner’s ascent in professional tennis has been defined by discipline, composure, and remarkable skill—qualities that mirror Explora Journeys’ dedication to crafting transformative ocean travel experiences. Just as every point on the court demands focus and preparation, every journey with Explora is designed with meticulous attention to detail, from thoughtfully curated menus to suites that serve as sanctuaries of comfort and discovery.
At the heart of this partnership is The Ocean State of Mind, Explora Journeys’ guiding philosophy—an ethos inspired by the sea’s power to create calm, clarity, and connection. For Sinner, these values are equally vital: balance to thrive under pressure, resilience to recover, and mindfulness to remain grounded in constant pursuit of growth. This alignment reflects a shared belief that true excellence lies not only in outcomes but also in authenticity, process, and wellbeing.
“I’m honoured to join Explora Journeys as their Brand Ambassador,” said Jannik Sinner. “Wellness for me is not just about training, but about recovery, balance, and mindfulness. I believe in the power of nature and restorative routines, and I see those same values reflected in every experience with Explora Journeys.”
Anna Nash, Global President of Explora Journeys, added:
“Jannik perfectly embodies the values at the core of our brand—authenticity, excellence, and a commitment to wellbeing. This partnership represents a new approach to ambassadorship, one rooted in shared values rather than simple endorsement. His talent, dedication, and team spirit on and off the court reflect our ethos and will inspire our guests to embrace a mindful and balanced way of living.”
The partnership was officially unveiled at The CORE: Club in New York City, where Sinner engaged in an intimate Q&A session, sharing his personal approach to wellness, performance, and balance, and his excitement about bringing these philosophies to life through the Explora experience.
As Brand Ambassador, Sinner will feature in select campaigns and collaborate on exclusive onboard activations and wellness rituals with his team, further enhancing Explora Journeys’ mission to connect discerning travellers with unique experiences that blend modern European elegance, discovery, and the restorative power of the ocean.
The announcement also deepens Explora Journeys’ ties to elite sport. Earlier this year, EXPLORA II transformed into a floating boutique hotel in Monaco’s iconic Port Hercule during the Formula 1 Grand Prix, offering guests a front-row experience at one of the world’s most glamorous sporting events. Building on that success, EXPLORA I will return for the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix, reinforcing the brand’s vision of creating extraordinary experiences at the intersection of luxury travel and global sporting excellence.
As Explora Journeys continues to redefine ocean travel, its partnership with Jannik Sinner signals more than visibility—it is a collaboration rooted in authenticity, alignment, and shared values. Together, they aim to inspire a lifestyle of purpose, elegance, and discovery, proving that true luxury—like true performance—is both a state of mind and a way of life.
