Explora Journeys have unveiled its new Journeys collection as well as its latest luxury cruise ship, the Explora V.
Sailing from September 2027 through to May 2028, the collection (and the journeys they’re built upon) is said to invite guests to embrace new and inspirational destinations. Whilst also granting them enriching discoveries. Travellers will partake in activities that promote curiosity, connection, and a renewed sense of wonder through deeper immersion.
Their latest collection includes the inaugural season in Asia, as well as their signature journeys through the Mediterranean, Caribbean, North America, and South America.
Of course, this all takes place alongside the launch of their latest ship, the Explora V.
As the latest addition to Explora Journeys’ ultra-elegant fleet, the Explora V will commence its inaugural Journeys Collection with a rare perspective for guests. These journeys will take place during the Mediterranean’s quieter season, which allows them to take in iconic landmarks and ancient sites away from the summer heat and crowds.
The main intention is to provide guests with the time and freedom to explore destinations and the local life at their own pace.
Travellers will experience a cooler and calmer period across the Mediterranean. This includes Naples’ iconic New Year’s Eve fireworks at sea – the Explora V will then sail eastward into the Red Sea and the Arabian Peninsula… where Golden deserts meet sapphire waters.
These itineraries mark a first for the cruise line. The Explora III ship will cruise into the heart of Asia, where travellers will experience sacred temples, tranquil gardens, and futuristic skylines.
Guests can experience Japan’s autumn foliage and cherry blossom petals. The cultural vibrancy of South Korea. The charming Singapore skyline. As well as the authentic street life of Shanghai.
From September to December 2027, the Explora III will arrive in Japan for the foliage season. Meanwhile, mid-October to early December will see travellers experience ancient temples and gardens – the absence of peak-season crowds will invite deeper moments of connection and calm.
The Explora III will also dock in Shanghai in time for Golden Week in October 2027, an iconic national holiday in China that celebrates its founding. Revel in streets bursting with energy and families gathered to celebrate.
In January 2028, as the Explora III sails around Japan during China’s National Holiday period, events and themed entertainment onboard the Explora III will immerse guests in celebration of the Chinese New Year.
From February to late April 2028, Explora III guests will experience Japan during Cherry Blossom Season. Take in the sights as the Japanese landscapes are covered in delicate shades of rosy pink. All while savouring the seasonal flavours that celebrate spring’s freshest ingredients.
