Explora Journeys Launches Exclusive Caribbean Experiences

Explora Journeys has unveiled exclusive Caribbean destination experiences that combine popular locations with unique, off-the-beaten-path ports.

EXPLORA II will arrive in the Caribbean in November 2024, followed by EXPLORA I in December 2024, offering guests luxury experiences. Both ships will visit a variety of Caribbean destinations until March 2025, including Gustavia in St. Barts, Oranjestad in Aruba, St. John’s in Antigua, Belize City, Bequia in the Grenadines, and Cozumel and Progreso in Mexico.

Koray Savas, VP of Hotel Operations at Explora Journeys, stated, “With our latest Caribbean Destination Experiences, we invite travelers to dive into a vibrant mix of tropical landscapes and diverse cultures. From snorkeling with a marine biologist in Curaçao to exploring the ancient Mayan city of Uxmal, every experience has been carefully crafted to showcase the true spirit of the Caribbean. Our team has designed these journeys to provide guests with enriching and unforgettable memories, tailored for small groups of 2–25 guests. This allows for more intimate exploration and the chance to discover hidden spots at a relaxed pace. Our goal is to offer guests a deep and meaningful connection with these captivating Caribbean islands.”
