Embrace the next era of luxury ocean travel in 2025 and 2026 with Explora Journeys.
Founded on more than 300 years of maritime history, Explora Journeys promises to redefine everything you think you know about luxury cruising. Emphasising connecting guests and the oceans, this unique operator seamlessly combines immersive, destination-led discovery with an onboard experience that takes cues from the world’s finest hotels.
Sailing aboard the custom-built Explora I or Explora II, you’ll stay in elegantly appointed accommodations, enjoy world-class dining in various venues, and experience the best hospitality at sea. While ashore, you’ll have the opportunity to explore each destination in ways never previously thought possible, courtesy of a curated programme of shore excursions and bespoke tours.
Whether you discover the picturesque ports and harbours of the Mediterranean or venture further afield to South America or Hawaii, Explora Journeys promises to take you there in unrivalled style and comfort.
Explora Journeys Ships
Explora Journeys ships elegantly combine European-style design and modern technology to create a breathtaking effect. Every element of the ship’s layout is considered; you’ll have warmth and comfort for those moments when peace and relaxation are needed, and a range of activities and facilities available when you’re looking for a way to pass the time. As a result, it’s almost simplistic to categorise the vessels as ‘cruise ships’. Instead, Explore Journeys’ ships have more in common with luxury hotels, making Explora Journeys the perfect choice if you’re looking for an alternative to traditional resort-based holidays.
Explora Journeys’ flagship vessel, Explora I, debuted in the summer of 2023 (read our review) and was followed in 2024 by a second ship, Explora II. The ships are identical and offer 461 ocean-facing suites, nine dining venues and best-in-class wellness facilities.
Explora Journeys Itineraries 2025 / 2026
From Grand Prix cruises aboard Explora II to brand-new journeys to the Amazon and a 32-night transatlantic crossing that calls to the Caribbean, the Explora Journeys 2025 collection is brimming with unforgettable highlights. Whether you’re looking to experience classic cruise destinations like the Mediterranean and Northern Europe during the summer months or escape the winter chill and head to sunnier climes, Explora Journeys provides a dazzling array of options.
In 2026, Explora Journeys’ itinerary programme will be elevated by the arrival of a third ship, Explora III. Scheduled to debut in the summer, the vessel will be the first in Explora Journeys’ feet to be powered by LNG (Liquified Natural Gas), enhancing the operators’ sustainability drive. Other highlights include Explora II’s shoulder-season stay in the Mediterranean until November 2026, with itineraries ideal for discovering the reason at a slower pace, with fewer crowds. Meanwhile, Explora I will offer a Grand Journey across the Atlantic from Barcelona, arriving in the Caribbean in time for the winter season, with itineraries featuring calls to noted locales throughout Guadeloupe, Dominica, and St Martin.
