Introducing Explora Journeys

A brand new cruise operator, launching in 2023, is set to change the way we see cruising and we’re delighted to be able to introduce to them. This exceptional brand combines centuries-old seafaring experience with superlative European refinement to introduce a bold new vision for luxury ocean travel.

This is a story that starts in 1940s Sorrento with a Neapolitan ferry captain, Gianluigi Aponte, who – together with the Swiss sweetheart he met when she was a passenger on one of his crossings – went on to create MSC, a global shipping operation and the world’s largest privately-owned cruise company. Now this

Swiss-Italian seafaring family are fulfilling their life-long dream and launching Explora Journeys, an exquisite, modern luxury cruise experience like no other.

Explora Journeys is set to transform ocean travel through a synergy of the chicest ships and the most immersive itineraries that allow guests to discover further, travel deeper, and linger a little longer at each destination. These are enriching holidays for the curious, cosmopolitan traveller who wants to create connections that last long beyond the cruise itself.

On sailings between seven and 44 nights long, guests will venture both on and off the beaten path, with the Inaugural Journeys Collection covering the Mediterranean, Northern Europe,

Iceland and Greenland, USA and Canada, the Caribbean and South America and Hawaii.

The Explora Journeys team look forward to welcoming guests from May 2023. Experience tells us that these are going to book up quickly. Secure your place on these unique voyages today with Luxury Worldwide Collection.
