Explora Journeys has announced its partnership with world-renowned tennis champion Jannik Sinner, who will be its new Brand Ambassador. The announcement comes just before the US Open, where Sinner will compete on one of tennis's most prestigious stages.
This collaboration is built on shared values and a common philosophy, uniting two worlds bound by precision, passion, and the pursuit of excellence. Sinner's rise to the top of professional tennis has been characterized by his skill, discipline, and composure—qualities that resonate deeply with Explora Journeys' approach to delivering transformative ocean travel experiences. Both share the belief that true mastery lies in the details: from the focus and preparation behind every point on the court to the meticulous craftsmanship that defines every aspect of Explora Journeys, where each suite is an oasis of serenity, each menu a celebration, and each voyage is designed to awaken emotions and discoveries.
At the heart of this collaboration lies The Ocean State of Mind, the essence of Explora Journeys, a philosophy inspired by the sea and its ability to create calm, clarity, and connection. For Jannik, these values are essential to his performance: balance to face moments of high pressure, resilience to recover, and the ability to stay grounded in the constant pursuit of improvement. This alignment reflects a shared understanding that excellence refers not only to results, but also to the process, authenticity, and well-being.
“It’s an honor for me to join Explora Journeys as a Brand Ambassador,” said Jannik Sinner. “For me, wellness is not just about training, but also about recovery and balance. I believe in the power of nature and mindful routines, and I see those values reflected in every Explora Journeys experience.”.
Anna Nash, Global President of Explora Journeys, added: “Jannik embodies Explora Journeys’ core values: authenticity, excellence, and a commitment to well-being. We are delighted to welcome him to our family brand. This collaboration represents a new approach to the Brand Ambassador role, based on authenticity and shared values. His passion, talent, and team spirit, both on and off the slopes, perfectly align with our philosophy, inspiring guests to embrace a mindful and balanced lifestyle and discover the transformative power of travel.”
The collaboration was officially launched at an exclusive event held at The CORE: Club in New York City. The highlight of the evening was an engaging Q&A session with Jannik Sinner, during which he spoke candidly about his personal philosophy of well-being, the importance of balance in high-performance environments, and his enthusiasm for putting his mindset into practice through the Explora Journeys experience.
In her role as Brand Ambassador, Sinner will appear in select brand campaigns and collaborate with the team to create a series of exclusive onboard activities and wellness rituals. This collaboration will further strengthen Explora Journeys' mission to connect guests with unique experiences that blend modern European elegance, immersive discovery, and the restorative power of the ocean.
Jannik Sinner's team will proudly wear Explora Journeys logo apparel during the upcoming tournaments, providing guests with a sense of pride and connection as they see the luxury lifestyle brand represented on the world stage.
The partnership also strengthens Explora Journeys' connection to the world of elite sport. Earlier this year, EXPLORA II was transformed into a floating boutique hotel in Monaco's iconic Port Hercules during the 2025 Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix, offering guests a unique perspective on one of the world's most glamorous sporting events. Building on this success, EXPLORA I will return for the 2026 edition, reinforcing the brand's commitment to creating extraordinary experiences at the intersection of modern luxury travel and world-class sporting excellence.
As Explora Journeys continues to redefine ocean travel, this new partnership with Jannik Sinner represents more than just increased visibility: it's a partnership born from affinity, authenticity, and shared values. Together, our goal is to inspire a lifestyle rooted in purpose and elegance, demonstrating that true luxury, like true performance, is both a state of mind and a way of life.
