Focused on creating unique and enriching travel experiences, Explora Journeys aims to venture beyond the typical tourist routes. By selecting destinations that are not overrun with tourists, the company ensures its passengers experience something distinct and meaningful while still enjoying convenient access to key embarkation points.
In 2025, the ports of call for Explora I and Explora II will feature iconic yet lesser-visited locations such as Milos, Paros, Skiathos, and Monemvasia in Greece, Portofino and Sardinia in Italy, the glamorous St. Tropez in France, and Mahón in Spain’s Balearic Islands.
The cruise line offers primarily seven-night itineraries during peak travel seasons. For guests looking to extend their journeys, Explora Journeys also allows the option to combine multiple sailings, creating an extended cruise of up to 21 nights. These combined voyages ensure that no ports are repeated, providing a truly diverse and enriching experience. For those with a more limited time frame, shorter five- and six-night cruises are available during shoulder seasons, as well as longer voyages ranging from nine to twelve nights, providing more opportunities to explore even further.
In 2026, Explora Journeys will enhance its fleet by adding a third ship, set to launch exciting new cruise itineraries across Central and South America. The current flagship, Explora I, is operating in the Mediterranean and Caribbean, while Explora II is set to offer itineraries in the Middle East starting in late 2026.
As the company continues to grow, Explora III will offer exciting new journeys through Northern Europe, with planned visits to Iceland, Greenland, and the Canadian Maritimes before heading to the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. In the winter months, the ship will sail through the Caribbean, followed by a Panama Canal transit and a grand finale in Vancouver.
With its forward-thinking expansion and focus on creating truly immersive and unique experiences, Explora Journeys is paving the way for a new era in luxury cruising, giving travelers the opportunity to explore the world’s most stunning and unexplored destinations.
