There's a New Player in the Luxury Game ...is it right for you?
We sailed in January... and stayed even longer than intended!
I first heard about Explora Journeys about two years ago and have a confession to make: I was completely 100% uninterested.
With other established companies in the small to medium-sized luxury ship market I was eager to sail Viking Ocean, Ponant, Scenic, Silver Sea, and Seabourn; lines that had already made a splash with their ships and lines where my guests were asking me to plan some of my escorted groups.
A new concept in luxury cruising from MSC was not really on my radar.
I had sailed MSC a decade ago and had relegated them in my mind as a second Costa with ships more for Europeans and folks who liked hearing announcements in 5 languages while enduring lots of kids and families with questionable parenting styles. It wasn't really for me and the way I wanted to travel at this point in my life.
Yet, as the launch of the ship approached, I started hearing more and more buzz... all positive, glowing even.
The ship interior design was being chatted about in travel agent circles and information about Michelin-star chefs was being released... I was still only mildly paying attention.
But then the ship launched and my normally unimpressed colleagues, agents who have seen it all, started to sail on her and were writing massively impressive reviews. Still skeptical, I watched the Explora FB page where inaugural guests started posting photos of the ship and food.
Shortly afterwards, I found out that Oasis was taking their top producers for 2023 on Explora Journeys and suddenly my disinterest turned into an obsession.
Literally everything I was seeing was favorable.. especially the dining... which for me is a key factor in choosing a ship.
Since I finished #6 for the year, I knew I was on the invite list for the cruise from Miami to Cartagena and I was suddenly VERY keen on trying this new ship.
As I learned more, I found that Explora seemed to have everything we wanted in a ship: not too big, elegantly appointed without being ostentatious, no formal nights, a simple dress code in the main restaurants in the evenings of "casual vacation elegance" (translate slacks for gentlemen) and completely casual in the Market Place (translate evening shorts are ok), + truly interesting itineraries.
We started counting the days... and excitedly, I found out that we had also been invited for a 2nd week for an educational seminar exclusively for luxury travel agents who had already sold some Explora cabins (first look classes).
Well, we went... and guess what? We turned 2 weeks into 3 we liked it so much!
If you want to know why... just tune in to the next blog post!

That’s why we’ve created TWO back-to-back 7-night itineraries that are so irresistible, choosing just one will be the ultimate challenge!
Here’s the magic:
Week One: Sail round-trip from Rome, exploring the charm of Sorrento, Palermo-Sicily, Tunis, Ibiza, Menorca, and Barcelona
Week Two: Keep the adventure alive with stops in dreamy Marseilles for Provence, Porto Selvo - Sardinia, Portofino, Livorno/Florence, Villefranche/ Cap Ferrat, ending in Barcelona.

Can only join us for one week? No worries—each itinerary is packed with incredible destinations and unforgettable experiences. Choose your dream adventure (or both!) and let’s make memories to last a lifetime. 🌍✨
Why Explora? Why Now? We chose Explora because, to us, it’s simply the BEST luxury ship sailing today—offering incredible entry-level suites with top-tier amenities and unmatched value. From the moment you board, it’s a completely all-inclusive experience: champagne, your favorite drinks, and an elegant “home at sea” vibe with gratuities, spa use, and so much more all included!
Explora redefines dining with some of the finest cuisine we’ve had in 200+ cruises—think fresh-made pasta and pizza, succulent seafood, tender meats, and irresistible European treats—all enjoyed in a sophisticated yet casual atmosphere. And yes, the coffee bar is a standout!
Your suite includes excellent WiFi, 24-hour in-suite dining, concierge service, and free laundry facilities, making every detail seamless. The ship’s spacious design features 5 pools, infinity hot tubs, and plenty of deck chairs, ensuring you’ll never feel crowded as you unwind in Explora’s “Ocean State of Mind.” There is so much to say, we want YOU to come see for yourselves!
But what truly sets Explora apart? The staff. Warm, welcoming, and genuinely delightful—they’re why we sailed FOUR times last year alone.
Hidden Gems & Iconic Destinations We chose these specific itineraries because they offer the chance to explore some of the Mediterranean’s hidden gems—those enchanting islands and standout destinations in Italy, Tunisia, Sardinia, the French Riviera, and Spain that truly capture the soul of the Med.
Our guests have been asking for something fresh and unique, and we believe this itinerary strikes the perfect balance. It pairs Italy’s iconic highlights with romantic, off-the-beaten-path stops that promise a more intimate experience—far from the usual crowds. Plus, sailing in June means delightful weather and a chance to enjoy these stunning locations before the summer rush!
Each stop is a treasure trove of culture, beauty, and unforgettable experiences!
