Some journeys begin long before setting sail. They are born from an intention, from a deep desire to reconnect with the world—and with oneself—from a place of calm, curiosity, and beauty. Explora Journeys understands this feeling perfectly, which is why each of its voyages is more than just an itinerary: it's an invitation to enter a different state of mind. One in which the ocean sets the pace, emotions flow unhurriedly, and every discovery is experienced with serene intensity. This is the Ocean State of Mind, the philosophy that guides this relaxed European luxury brand, where you feel at home… but on the high seas.
The company is now opening a new chapter with developments that reflect the evolution of a brand that innovates and continues to push boundaries, with new itineraries for 2026 and 2027, the launch of its first round-the-world voyage in 2029, and the expansion of its "An Exclusive Invitation – Festive Edition" promotion. New horizons, but with the same essence: traveling in harmony with the ocean.
New directions, new emotions: the itineraries to come
Explora Journeys expands its map of experiences with proposals that celebrate leisurely travel, cultural immersion and natural beauty in its most authentic form.
Northern Europe, Iceland and Greenland – EXPLORA III (Summer 2026)

Ancient civilizations, endless deserts, futuristic cities, and warm seas create a tapestry of contrasts that invites leisurely exploration with an attentive eye and an open mind.

Asia – EXPLORA III (From September 2027)
Explora Journeys presents 28 brand-new itineraries through Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore. A continent where ancient temples and vibrant metropolises coexist, exotic beaches and flavors that tell stories. A mosaic of cultures that invites an authentic, elegant, and profoundly transformative immersion.
An Infinite World: The Trip Around the World That Will Change Everything (2029)
Some trips are life-changing. Such is Explora Journeys' first round-the-world voyage, an incredible 128-day journey visiting 4 continents, 29 countries, and 63 destinations, from January 6 to May 14, 2029, aboard EXPLORA I. Bookings will open in early 2026.
“An Infinite World” is not just a circumnavigation. It is a tribute to ancient trade routes, an east-to-west journey that proposes discovering the planet as a continuous whole, without breaks, without haste. Crossing the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans, it allows for a continuous rhythm of exploration that goes from the sun-drenched shores of Dubai to its end in the waters of the Mediterranean off Barcelona.
The seven independent passages of the itinerary form a single journey of discovery on An Infinite World. Beginning in Dubai, it continues through India and the Maldives, then on to Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, including Bali and Komodo. Next, it explores Oceania, a new destination for the company, with stops in Sydney, Cairns, Brisbane, Melbourne, Tasmania, and New Zealand. The itinerary then travels through the heart of the Pacific, visiting Fiji, Tonga, the Cook Islands, French Polynesia, and Easter Island. Upon reaching the Americas, it passes through the world-class engineering marvel that is the Panama Canal and sails through Chile and Peru. Finally, it crosses the Atlantic, visiting islands such as Bermuda and the Azores, before culminating in the Mediterranean, offering a global experience of landscapes, culture, and nature.
Onboard, the experience is as immersive as the journey itself, with oceanfront suites featuring private terraces where the ocean sets the rhythm of the day. Passengers will enjoy cuisine that evolves with each region, celebrating local ingredients and responsible techniques; as well as Ocean Wellness options for body and mind, with nearly 1,000 m² onboard dedicated to holistic well-being inspired by the sea. Throughout the voyage, they will enjoy cultural enrichment programs with experts, performances, and themed activities; and can connect with new destination experiences guided by specialists, connecting them with the true essence of each place.
