SAILING SAVINGS

When families journey together, there is a list of savings you don’t want to miss.

  • Infants aged 6–23 months** sail free of charge.
  • Children aged 2–17 years** can enjoy up to 50% off the journey fare.

To benefit from this offer, infants and children must be registered as the third or fourth guests in the same suite. (The first and second guests are not eligible, regardless of their age at time of sailing.)

“The team here at Explora Journeys has ensured that all children and young people who journey with us will be as entertained, enriched and invigorated as our more experienced, discerning travelers,” said Matteo Mancini, Explora Journeys Youth Entertainment Senior Manager.
