Explora Journeys’ first ship, Explora I, will sail a 15-night maiden voyage of Northern Europe from Southampton, UK, on 17 July 2023.
The brand will make its debut with ‘A Maiden Journey into Epic Fjords and the Artic Circle’ itinerary, which will call to 12 ports in four countries.
“Our vision and purpose from day one has been to create a travel and ocean experience like no other and we are thrilled that our groundbreaking new class of ship, Explora I, will introduce guests during her maiden journey to some of the most breathtaking destinations in Northern Europe while enjoying the finest luxury hospitality at sea,” said Michael Ungerer, CEO of Explora Journeys.
Explora I will first sail from Southampton to Zeebrugge, Belgium, before travelling to Norway for calls at Geiranger, Trondheim, Molde, Leknes, Brønnøysund, Flåm, Bergen and Stavanger. It will then visit Skagen in Denmark before concluding its journey in the country’s capital Copenhagen.
“Guests on board Explora I’s inaugural journey can look forward to immerse themselves in local cultures, both on and off the beaten path, as well as witnessing some of the world’s most astonishing natural wonders,” said Ungerer. “Surprise treats will be revealed throughout their voyage such as thrilling experiences, thoughtful gifts and exciting guest artistes that are all designed to inspire the discerning travellers’ desire to discover the world around them, meet new people, and reconnect with themselves.”
