Explora Journeys has unveiled a collection of Pre- and Post-Journey Destination Immersions to complement its Summer 2027 itineraries, including the debut of Alaska sailings aboard EXPLORA III.
The land programs, offered in Alaska and Western Canada, run three to five nights and feature luxury rail travel, guided nature and cultural experiences, and curated dining. Guests can book them before or after their voyage, extending their journey with the service and style associated with Explora Journeys.
Anna Nash, President of Explora Journeys, said: “These Destination Immersions reflect our commitment to offering immersive luxury travel that extends beyond the ship. They allow our guests to explore in greater depth, with intention and authenticity, and to connect more profoundly with the places they visit. Whether it’s journeying through the vast wilderness of Alaska or uncovering the cultural richness of the Canadian Rockies, these experiences are designed to complement and elevate the overall Explora Journeys experience—seamlessly blending land and sea into one continuous, meaningful narrative.”
