It’s never too early to start thinking about holiday travel.
Especially at sea.
Explora Journeys, a subsidiary of the MSC Group, has
two cruises, on two different ships, with two different itineraries for the
holidays aboard EXPLORA I and EXPLORA II.
To celebrate, EXPLORA I sails from December 23-30
2024, starting in Miami and visiting San Juan (Puerto Rico), Road Bay
(Anguilla), Roseau (Dominica), Castries (St. Lucia), and Bridgetown (Barbados).
Meanwhile, EXPLORA II sets sail from December 20-27, 2024, with stops in Road Bay, Pointe-a-Pitre (Guadeloupe), Jost van Dyke (British Virgin
Islands), and Marigot (St. Martin) before concluding in San Juan.
As the New Year approaches, EXPLORA I departs from
Bridgetown on December 30, 2024, celebrating New Year's Eve in St. George's
(Grenada), before visiting Kralendijk (Bonaire), Willemstad (Curacao), and
Oranjestad (Aruba), ending in Miami on January 7, 2025.
EXPLORA II will begin her New Year journey on December
27, 2024, in San Juan, featuring stops in Charlotte Amalie (U.S. Virgin Islands),
St. John's (Antigua), and Basseterre (St. Kitts and Nevis), with New Year’s Eve
fireworks in San Juan and concluding in Miami on January 5, 2025.
Guests can enjoy gingerbread houses and a range of
seasonal treats. Special holiday entertainment includes choirs, carols,
parades and more.
After fireworks, guests are invited to dance the night
away at the New Year's Eve gala.
And we haven’t even talked about Thanksgiving yet.
Guests are invited to celebrate Thanksgiving amidst
the azure waters of the Mediterranean on EXPLORA I or along the beaches of the
Caribbean on EXPLORA II. The experience offers authentic Thanksgiving menus,
featuring oven-roasted Bourbon Red Tom turkey, a ship-wide scavenger hunt, and
workshops to create Thanksgiving-themed decorations.
EXPLORA I will begin her Thanksgiving journey on
November 20, 2024, in Barcelona, featuring stops in Alicante (Spain), Motril
(Spain), Tangier (Morocco), and Lisbon (Portugal), with a visit to Málaga
(Spain) before returning to Barcelona on November 29, 2024.
EXPLORA II
departs from Miami on November 22, 2024, and invites guests to visit Road Bay, Roseau, and Basse-Terre (Guadeloupe), concluding in San
Juan on November 29, 2024.
