Explora Journeys Launches Exclusive Grand Journeys

Explora Journeys has unveiled its Grand Journeys collection for 2025 and 2026, featuring voyages that traverse major oceans and connect continents. These journeys emphasize comfort and exploration, allowing guests to relax and enjoy extended time at sea.

Anna Nash, President Explora Journeys, comments: “Our Grand Journeys represent the epitome of transformative ocean travel. These journeys are designed to provide our guests with the ultimate luxury of time, space, and personal discovery, while delivering curated experiences both onboard and ashore. At sea, the slower pace invites reflection. Explora Journeys’ Grand Journeys are designed for those who seek not just to see the world but to be transformed by it.”
