Explora Journeys – the luxury cruise arm of MSC Cruises – has unveiled Anna Nash as its new President.
Ms Nash joins Explora from Aman Resorts, where she was chief commercial officer. At Explora she will report directly to MSC Cruises’ executive chairman Pierfrancesco Vago.
Pierfrancesco Vago, Executive Chairman of MSC Group’s Cruise Division, said “We are delighted to welcome Anna to Explora Journeys where her proven expertise within the ultra-luxury hospitality industry, coupled with her exceptional leadership abilities will help us to ensure that our brand is globally recognised as we continue to set new standards in luxury travel.”

The brand’s dedication to redefining the luxury ocean travel experience is inspiring, and I look forward to working closely with Mr Vago and the talented team to continue building on this vision. Together, we will strive to create unforgettable journeys that resonate with discerning travellers around the world.”
Ms Nash – who has 20 years’ experience in the ultra-luxury hospitality field – will be responsible for driving the Explora’s strategic vision and growth initiatives. Her extensive experience and leadership will be critical as Explora Journeys prepares to expand its fleet with the launch this week of EXPLORA II, the second luxury ship in the brand’s collection, followed by four additional ships entering service from 2026 to 2028.
