Explora Journeys will feature new luxury watch and jewelry boutiques aboard EXPLORA I and EXPLORA II, the first two ships in its luxury cruise fleet. To achieve this, it has partnered with brands renowned for their craftsmanship.
The onboard retail offering, called The Journey, will include two luxury watch brands: Cartier and Panerai, as well as Piaget jewelry and watches. Each brand will have a spacious boutique that reflects its design style through its architecture and interior design.
Michael Ungerer, CEO of Explora Journeys, stated: “Expanding our luxury shopping offerings on board EXPLORA I is a source of great satisfaction for us. We aim to always provide our travelers with an exceptional and unforgettable experience. We believe that adding these new brands, representing the very best of prestigious Swiss watchmaking and fine jewelry, to our exclusive selection will help us achieve this. Our guests are discerning travelers who expect the very best, and we are proud to offer them a shopping experience that reflects our commitment to quality, luxury, and excellence.”
Cartier
The brand has become a benchmark in the world of luxury thanks to its creativity. Today, Cartier has a global presence through its network of flagship stores and boutiques, authorized retailers, and online.
Panerai
Italian heritage, the marine world, Swiss engineering, and modern heroes are the four pillars that define Panerai's trajectory. These are now embodied in its first floating store: an immersive environment dedicated to showcasing the brand's DNA.
Piaget
Piaget is synonymous with creative boldness, a quality that has permeated the brand since its beginnings in 1874. In the late fifties, Piaget introduced the ultra-thin machinery that would later become the brand's hallmark.
It is within the walls of their «Ateliers de l'Extraordinaire» that master craftsmen continue to utilize skills that have been preserved and perfected in order to transform gold, gems and precious stones into dazzling works of art.
The shops on board EXPLORA I will open on July 17, 2023 and will be available exclusively to Explora Journeys guests.
