Get ready to set sail on the adventure of a lifetime with Explora Journeys’ new 2025-2026 Grand Journeys. These extended voyages promise to whisk you across the world’s greatest oceans, blending unhurried discovery, meaningful experiences, and unparalleled comfort.
A Transformative Ocean Travel Experience
“Explora Journeys’ Grand Journeys represent the epitome of transformative ocean travel,” says Anna Nash, President of Explora Journeys. These voyages are designed to provide guests with the luxury of time, space, and personal discovery, delivering curated experiences both onboard and ashore. A slower pace at sea invites reflection, making these journeys perfect for those who seek to be transformed by their travels.
Unique Itineraries and Destinations
The Grand Journey itineraries feature lesser-travelled destinations, such as the Azores and Madeira, paired with immersive onshore experiences and more days at sea. In 2025, Explora Journeys introduces exclusive one-week Ocean Wellness retreats, offering programs like Chakra Healing Meditation and Ocean-inspired Gong Baths under the stars. Guests can pair these wellness events with treatments, fitness, and beauty rituals at the ship’s onboard spa.
