Explora Journeys presents its new Ocean Wellness Retreats: a series of immersive one-day wellness programs offered exclusively during Grand Journeys aboard EXPLORA I and EXPLORA II. These carefully curated experiences invite guests to enrich their voyage with holistic wellness practices inspired by Eastern and Western traditions, while sailing some of the world's most breathtaking ocean routes.
Ocean Wellness Retreats offer a sanctuary of calm through practices such as Surya Shakti Yoga, pranayama, gong baths under the stars, and guided reflection sessions. Each retreat is designed to foster inner peace and emotional renewal, combining yoga, mindful breathing, sound therapies, and introspective techniques. Guests can attend multiple retreats throughout their trip to deepen their experience.
During the Grand Journeys, guests will enjoy two essential conditions for personal transformation: the luxury of time and space. The Ocean Wellness Retreats take advantage of this special environment to offer greater self-awareness, balance, and serenity, all framed by the soothing rhythm of the ocean waves.
“Our Ocean Wellness Retreats exemplify how travel can nourish the mind, body, and soul,” says Julanda Marais, Director of Ocean Wellness at Explora Journeys. “These retreats invite guests to slow down and reconnect, both with themselves and with the vast, calming energy of the sea.”
Ocean Wellness Retreats will be available on the following itineraries:
- EXPLORE I – A Grand Journey of European gems and tropical idylls: from October 18 to November 12, 2025, from Fusina (Venice) to Miami, passing through Mediterranean cultural gems and Caribbean getaways.
- EXPLORA II – A Grand Journey between sweet mint tea and lava caves: from November 11 to 22, 2025, departing from Barcelona and ending in Bridgetown, Barbados, with stops in Tangier, Gran Canaria and other scenic ports before reaching the lush shores of the Caribbean.
