Explora Journeys is set to explore the Caribbean’s diverse islands, cultures and landscapes during its 2026-27 season, offering voyages across two ships from mid-October 2026 through March 2027.
The season will
feature established destinations including Saint Barthélemy, Saint Lucia and
the British Virgin Islands, alongside lesser-known locations.
The programme is
designed to combine resort-style service and spacious accommodation with the
convenience of visiting multiple destinations without the need for frequent
packing or complex travel arrangements.
EXPLORA I will begin
its Caribbean sailings from Miami on November 17, 2026, following a
transatlantic journey from Barcelona.
Newly launched EXPLORA
III will make its regional debut after departing Québec City on October 15 and
travelling south along the Atlantic coast before reaching San Juan, Puerto
Rico, on November 1.
“There is no single
Caribbean,” said Anna Nash, President of Explora Journeys. “It is a collection
of different worlds, each with its own character, traditions and natural
beauty. Our approach is to bring these worlds together in one smooth Journey –
giving our guests the elevated service, space and experiences they expect from
an exceptional Caribbean resort, while allowing them to discover multiple
sought-after destinations such as Saint Barthélemy, Saint Lucia and the British
Virgin Islands. This is the Ocean State of Mind: the freedom to experience
more, effortlessly.”
Destination
experiences will include exploring The Baths on Virgin Gorda, whale watching in
Samaná Bay, rainforest hikes and waterfalls in Dominica, and snorkelling at
Grenada’s Underwater Sculpture Park.
Guests can also
experience local music and culture in Trinidad and Tobago, explore Anguilla’s
secluded coastline and discover Guadeloupe’s botanical gardens.
Culinary and cultural
activities will include beachside lobster lunches, bespoke rum blending in
Saint Kitts and hands-on chocolate-making experiences in Saint Lucia.
Onboard, guests will
find oceanfront suites, open-air spaces, wellness facilities and dining
inspired by Caribbean seafood, produce and spices.
Flexible dining and
thoughtful inclusions allow travellers to shape their days around excursions,
relaxation or time at sea.
The festive season
will bring Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year celebrations to the Caribbean,
with EXPLORA III guests able to welcome 2027 with fireworks over San Juan.
Across both ships,
Explora Journeys aims to deliver a seamless Caribbean experience combining
multiple destinations with luxury, wellness, dining and personalised
hospitality. -TradeArabia News Service
