Bookings are now open for Explora Journeys’ inaugural world cruise, setting sail on January 6, 2029.
During the voyage, EXPLORA I will visit 63 destinations on four continents, with overnight stays in 12 destinations. The 128-day Journey will include 44 maiden calls for Explora Journeys, from the Indian Ocean, Australia and New Zealand to the waters of the South Pacific and Peru.
Guests may choose the full 128-day journey from Dubai to Barcelona (January 6-May 14, 2029), or opt for two slightly shortened versions with the same departure date: a 112-day world journey concluding in New York City on April 28, 2029 and a 108-day trip ending in Miami on April 24, 2029.
“In opening sales, we are inviting our guests to secure their place on a rare voyage designed around the true luxury of time,” says Anna Nash, president of Explora Journeys. “Each journey option reflects the signature values of Explora Journeys: unhurried discovery, cultural curiosity, intuitive service and a profound connection to the sea.”
She adds: “Whether it’s the spiritual tranquillity found in a Balinese temple or the vast theatre of the open ocean, we are providing a sanctuary from which to witness the world in its most authentic form.”
