Explora Journeys, MSC Group’s luxury ocean cruise line, has unveiled its first-ever 128-day World Journey, called Endless Worlds, which sets sail in 2029.

Endless Worlds sails from January 6 through May 14, 2029 on the Explora I, visiting 29 different countries and territories across 63 ports in four continents.

Guided by the idea that time is the greatest luxury of all, Endless Worlds offers plenty of time for travelers to see the world. The cruise begins in Dubai, then sails to India and the Maldives before heading to Southeast Asia, Bali and Komodo. It then visits Sydney, Cairns, Melbourne and other places across Australia before sailing to New Zealand and Tasmania. 

After that, the Explora I will sail to Fiji, Tonga, the Cook Islands,  Easter Island, Chile and Peru before transiting through the Panama Canal and visiting Bermuda and the Azores before ending in Barcelona, Spain. 

Across the itinerary, travelers will enjoy experiencing more in port with 12 different overnight stays. 

“Endless Worlds represents a milestone in the evolution of Explora Journeys,” said Anna Nash, President of Explora Journeys. “Our Inaugural World Journey embodies our deepest values – boundless exploration, cultural curiosity and a meaningful connection to the ocean. It enables our guests to experience the world as an uninterrupted story, told gradually and gracefully, with the time and space to absorb its beauty in full.”
