Explora Journeys is redefining ocean travel for a new generation of discerning explorers. With the first of four luxury ships scheduled to set sail in 2023, remarkable itineraries will blend renowned destinations with lesser-travelled ports for a journey that celebrates discovery. Whether on board or ashore, guests will reconnect with what matters most—themselves, their loved ones, and the world around them. With 461 oceanfront suites, every guest will enjoy sweeping sea views and a private terrace, while being spoilt for choice with nine distinct culinary venues providing unrivalled variety at sea. Equipped with the latest in environmental-supporting and marine technologies, Explora Journeys will introduce a unique all-inclusive luxury travel experience for those who want to explore differently.
July 2023 to March 2025 Journeys Collection
Our guests are naturally curious and seek inspiration. We offer the perfect blend of celebrated destinations and lesser-known spots that inspire our guest’s curiosity. Our ocean escapes are focused on a slower pace; we stay a bit longer, sometimes overnight, in each destination so that our guests can linger a little longer and feel exhilarated and not exhausted. A perfect day of relaxed mornings and exciting evenings, away from mass experiences, crowds and over tourism.
Places to Discover in 2024 & 2025
It’s really exciting to not only have a new ship to tell you about but a differentiated luxury brand for discerning travellers.
