EXPLORA III will begin its maiden voyages on August 3, sailing from Barcelona to Lisbon before continuing through Northern Europe, Iceland, Greenland, the Canadian Maritimes, and New England.
The season includes voyages through the Norwegian fjords and Icelandic fjords, along with longer stays and overnight calls in ports such as Stockholm, Reykjavik, and Quebec City. Guests will also visit new destinations for the brand including Bergen, Flåm, Riga, and Tallinn, with no repeated itineraries throughout the season.
“This sailing season is a uniquely rich moment in time where multiple dimensions of luxury travel come together,” said Anna Nash. “From witnessing the cinematic beauty of a solar eclipse alongside world-class luminaries who bring science and adventure to life, to the profound serenity found in a more soulful navigation of the North, every element has been aligned to create a deeper connection with the world around us.”
