Explora Journeyspresents its Grand Journeys collection, an exclusive selection of itineraries for 2025 and 2026 that cross the world's largest oceans and connect continents.
The Grand Journeys collection invites discerning guests to embark on voyages that offer the opportunity to disconnect from the demands of daily life and immerse themselves in the tranquility of the ocean. With several days at sea, guests can discover and experience the transformative Ocean State of Mind, the hallmark of Explora Journeys, which invites them to experience the ocean as a way of being and feeling.
Anna Nash, President of Explora Journeys, commented: “Our Grand Journeys embody the transformative essence of ocean travel. These itineraries have been designed to offer our guests the most precious luxury: time, space, and discovery. Time to disconnect, to explore at a leisurely pace, and to immerse themselves in a journey of personal transformation. At sea, the slower rhythm invites reflection, while on land, each port of call has been carefully selected to provide enriching experiences. Explora Journeys' Grand Journeys are designed for those who seek not only to see the world, but to be transformed by it.”
The itineraries include less-traveled destinations, such as the Azores and Madeira, combined with immersive land experiences that delve into local heritage and cultures.
Each Grand Journey is distinguished by a carefully curated selection of details that guarantee an impeccable experience. Guests can enjoy a welcome bottle of champagne, complimentary unlimited Wi-Fi, a choice of nine fine-dining restaurants with exclusive offerings, twice-daily housekeeping, and all onboard gratuities included. Suites range from 35 to 280 square meters and all feature oceanfront terraces, as well as luxurious furnishings from renowned European brands such as Molteni and Minotti. Everything is designed to create a true home at sea.
With more days at sea, guests can immerse themselves in an exceptional culinary program designed to delight the senses and elevate the onboard dining experience. From fine dining experiences at exclusive restaurants like Anthology, Sakura, and Fil Rouge, to guided tastings of champagne, wine, gin, whisky, and cognac, every detail has been meticulously curated to offer an unparalleled culinary experience. Furthermore, food enthusiasts will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on workshops and immersive experiences in the Chef's Kitchen, where they can explore techniques and flavors in an exclusive setting.
New for 2025, Explora Journeys introduces exclusive Ocean Wellness Retreats, week-long wellness programs that offer guests the opportunity to restore balance with programs such as chakra healing meditation and gong baths under the stars, designed to revitalize body and mind in perfect harmony with the ocean. The Spa's Ocean Wellness rituals combine treatments, fitness, and beauty, guaranteeing a holistic rejuvenation experience.
In addition, guests can enjoy a rich cultural program that includes live performances by local artists, guided arts and crafts workshops, and marine wildlife observation and conservation sessions. As part of the Luminaries program, this initiative promotes sustainable exploration, providing immersive and educational experiences on board.
