The only difficult part of an Explora Journeys voyage? Choosing where to go.

Explora Journeys spans the globe: the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, the Caribbean, the Red Sea, South America, Iceland, Alaska—even the Amazon. I chose Rome to Barcelona, a captivating westward sailing that included Naples, Sicily, Tunisia, and Mallorca.

Each port was rich with culture, flavor, and charm—but the journey between them was equally luxurious. Onboard, every detail reflected intentional design and thoughtful care. Whether exploring Palermo’s historic streets or sipping wine under the stars, the ship elevated each moment.
