EXPLORA II will operate from November 2026 to March 2027 exclusively in the Mediterranean, so the programming originally planned for the Middle East will no longer take place.
This decision was made well in advance, after careful consideration, and reflects Explora Journeys' commitment to providing its guests and travel advisors with clarity and confidence when planning their future trips.
Instead, EXPLORA II will offer carefully curated itineraries through the Western Mediterranean. Guests will be invited to discover this region during the winter season, when its rich heritage, refined cuisine, and natural beauty can be enjoyed in a more intimate and relaxed setting.
Explora Journeys, a brand built on the art of listening, is committed to putting the guest at the center of every decision, designing journeys that balance inspiration with care and flexibility.
These itinerary adjustments enrich the Winter 2026/2027 season with captivating new destinations, designed to immerse guests in the cultural and coastal treasures of each region. The voyages will include destinations in the Western Mediterranean and North Africa, combining iconic landmarks, hidden gems, and seasonal highlights such as Funchal, Casablanca, Ibiza's Old Town, and festive winter celebrations on board.
In the quieter winter months, the Mediterranean reveals a more contemplative charm. With fewer crowds, the ancient cities and coastal landscapes offer a profound sense of connection and discovery. Life aboard EXPLORA II reflects this serene elegance. Guests enjoy oceanfront suites, light-filled lounges, Ocean Wellness rituals, and a more relaxed pace of life that evokes the Ocean State of Mind, where the ship itself becomes as much a part of the destination as the places visited.
All guests with bookings on updated trips, along with partner travel agents, will be contacted directly and provided with personalized assistance and appropriate options as needed.
