PIERFRANCESCO VAGO

EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN CRUISE DIVISION, MSC GROUP

A WARM WELCOME TO OUR JOURNEY

Explora Journeys represents our confident vision to create an entirely new way of ocean travel

We provide transformative journeys touching every corner of the globe that inspire our guests to explore and discover the world, connect with others and themselves.

Our curated itineraries elegantly carry our guests both on and off the beaten path, offering the perfect blend of new destinations and familiar ones, with destination experiences that can amaze and immerse in equal measure. This is a way of travel that places our guests at the forefront, with effortless, intuitive service helping them settle into their Home at Sea, surrounded by spaces designed with a refined

European elegance. Perhaps most importantly, we are inspired by the very thing that carries us –the sea, a transformative natural force that helps us deliver the unique Ocean State of Mind for our guests.

Our passion and respect for it is never forgotten and our sense of duty to protect it is apparent from the design of the ships themselves and the technology we use, to our broader sustainability commitments. We are excited to be setting sail in Summer 2023 and hope to welcome you on board then or on another of our Journeys Collection.

MICHAEL UNGERER CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER EXPLORA JOURNEYS

INTRODUCING EXPLORA JOURNEYS

INTRODUCING A BOLD NEW VISION FOR OCEAN TRAVEL

Explora Journeys is the NEW luxury lifestyle travel brand launched by the MSC Group with the AMBITION to redefine the luxury cruise category.

Designed in partnership with the world’s foremost super-yacht specialists, EXPLORA I — the first ship in the Explora Journeys fleet — sets sail in Summer 2023.

THE CONCEPT

Vibrant, cosmopolitan RELAXED European luxury at SEA . Instead of cruises we create journeys – of the MIND and across the OCEANS of the world, as we visit EXTRAORDINARY places on and off the beaten track.

ON BOARD

Spaces that offer guests relaxed luxury, creating a Home at Sea. Restoring life’s ESSENTIAL balance with a combination of discovery and appreciation for WELLBEING and NATURE .

This is what the NEW GENERATION of discerning travellers have asked for and this is what they will ENJOY on Explora Journeys.

HERITAGE

This is a story that has its beginnings in Sorrento with a Neapolitan ferry captain – Gianluigi Aponte – who, with the Swiss sweetheart he met when she was a passenger on one of his crossings, went on to create MSC, a global shipping operation and the world’s largest privately-owned cruise company.

Now this family is fulfilling their life-long dream and launching Explora Journeys, an exquisite, modern luxury cruise experience like no other.

THIS SEAFARING FAMILY IS CREATING AN ENTIRELY NEW WAY OF OCEAN TRAVEL

THE OCEAN AND ITS INFLUENCE

At the heart of the MSC Group is a PASSION for the seas, oceans and waters that sustain our PLANET.

OUR INHERENT RESPECT FOR THE SEA IS ALWAYS IN FOCUS

This has carried through generations of the Aponte family and will do so into the future. It is why the ocean will always remain at the forefront of the Explora Journeys experience,

INSPIRED BY THE SEA

allowing curious, cosmopolitan travellers to harness its unique energy which in turn inspires inner and outer discovery.

DISCOVER

THE OCEAN STATE OF MIND

Its INFLUENCE sits at the heart of the Explora Journeys brand.

The ocean CONNECTS you with yourself, people and the PLACES around you.

The ocean relaxes you and creates an energy in you that inspires inner and outer discovery, broadens horizons and triggers new connections.

All of this creates an emotional connection that is powerful, transformative, yet universal. We call it the Ocean State of Mind.

The Ocean State of Mind is reached only with Explora Journeys. It’s why all that we do is designed to offer refined yet effortless luxury, with the opportunity for exploration and transformation of the inner and outer self, resulting in a state that is uniquely rewarding — physically, intellectually and spiritually.

THE OCEAN CONNECTS YOU WITH YOURSELF, PEOPLE AND THE PLACES AROUND YOU.

OUR NAME

Inspired by our PASSION for EXPLORATION and discovery

Our contemporary typeface reflects the subtle curves of the sea in its elegance and simplicity.

An INTEGRAL element of our STORY

With deep roots in spirituality, the mandala represents a journey of personal awakening and fulfilment. The lotus flower symbolises purity of body, speech and mind, whilst the fleur-de-lis motif represents humility and a clear connection to the family’s esteemed European heritage.

OUR SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENT

We hold the seas and oceans that sustain our planet in the very highest regard.

This innate respect is why Explora Journeys –in partnership with Fincantieri – is committed to building the ships of tomorrow, utilising the very latest in environmentally supportive technologies whilst being primed to adapt to alternative energy solutions as they become available. Our ships will utilise progressive technology and innovations to ensure Explora Journeys is always leading the movement towards a more sustainable future. This means committing to developing ground-breaking technologies that will help create a more positive future, not just for this generation but for future ones too.

Explora Journeys’ fundamental respect for the planet is the central component of the journey, never forceful nor intrusive upon the destinations and local communities, and conscientious of the environment and sustainability. We will support and give back to noble environmental causes through the MSC Foundation.

Our destination experiences will be designed to leave a positive impression and footprint on the places and people visited by placing a spotlight on local talents, craftsmanship, culture, gastronomy and traditions.

HAVING A POSITIVE IMPACT

Our fleet design incorporates provision for battery storage allowing future hybrid power generation, as well as the latest selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology, enabling a reduction of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by 90%.

ALL SIX SHIPS WILL BE RINA DOLPHIN CERTIFIED

Single-use plastics will not be used onboard the ship, nor will they be offered during land-based experiences - Explora Journeys is dedicated to leaving a positive impression on the places and people visited on their ocean journeys.

Values in action for a better world

The MSC Foundation, a private non-profit foundation, was established by the Aponte family to direct and advance the MSC Group’s environmental, humanitarian and sustainable development commitments worldwide.

The Foundation works to restore the critical balance between people and the environment. Its ethics are inspired by the family-owned MSC Group’s values and above all, a sense of responsibility for the planet, its oceans and people. The Foundation’s mission is to utilise

MSC’s global reach and unique knowledge of the sea to take immediate action that contributes to protecting and nurturing the blue planet and all its people. It encourages the sustainable management and protection of ecosystems, empowers vulnerable communities around the world to realise their full potential, promotes quality, equitable and inclusive education to enhance durable individual and collective development and helps disaster-struck populations towards recovery.

OUR NORTHERN EUROPE, UNITED KINGDOM & IRELAND, ICELAND & GREENLAND JOURNEYS

Raw, romantic, SURREAL , we go off-grid as we passage amidst glassy sea lochs, glaciers, and BUBBLING geysers, from bewitching fjords to enchanting wild waterfalls tumbling down amidst dense forests until those beguiling cities

BECKON once more.

NORTHERN EUROPE, UK & IRELAND JOURNEYS

As we traverse these magnetic metropolises, we’ll step through globally renowned galleries and beautifully landscaped gardens, uncover Norse mythology and Inuit traditions, follow in the footsteps of Shakespeare and Ibsen, and seek festivals of music, from Glastonbury to floating jazz on the beautiful tree-lined canals of Hamburg and Bruges.

The pendulum swings between art, culture and cocktails in Europe’s most cosmopolitan cities and connecting with nature at its most powerful and restorative; between hearing Big Ben chime in London and slipping into a thermal spring in Iceland under a Midnight Sun.

WHETHER

WE SEEK A FAIRYTALE OR SKEW

MORE MACHIAVELLIAN, WE ARE SPOILT FOR CHOICE WHEN IT COMES TO ROYAL PALACES

ICELAND AND

If our best, most exhilarating travel experiences involve discovery and the unfamiliar, the otherworldly scenery of Iceland and Greenland more than fits the bill. Like threading a needle, we’ll pass through narrow cliffs and glaciers, witnessing thundering waterfalls, and bubbling –sometimes exploding – geysers, before becoming embedded in the raw beauty of this diverse and dramatic landscape as we explore its rust-coloured volcanic wildernesses, vast mossy lava fields and black-sand deserts, by zodiac or kayak or snowmobile.

Moving far-off the beaten track, with just the Atlantic puffins for company.

Slow meditative pleasures include salmon fishing and the healing properties of submerging in geothermal rivers and sea baths, whilst adrenalin lovers might enjoy heli-skiing, rafting on glacial canyons and snorkelling with seals beneath the ice.

WE’LL SEEK WHALES, POLAR BEARS AND ARCTIC FOXES, WHILST BIRD LOVERS WILL DELIGHT IN GYRFALCONS AND GOLDEN PLOVERS.

Reykjavik’s creative ENERGY is the ideal FOIL to this wild and REMOTE tundra. Shop cool local design in the new harbour area or enjoy constantly INNOVATIVE cuisine.

GREENLAND

The people here have always lived off the land, so expect seasonal and ultra-pure food, from stewed moose and lamb or salted fish jerky to sweetened rye bread from a geothermal bakery. Visits to fishing villages and the regions

many colourful towns – including Nuuk, the world’s smallest capital city – helps uncover Norse mythology and Inuit culture.

An overnight stay in a LUXURY tented camp will bring this FROZEN landscape beautifully into FOCUS .

SOUTHAMPTON TO COPENHAGEN

17 JULY – 1 AUGUST 2023 16 NIGHTS

For those who seek the rare and uncompromising, our champagne-studded Maiden Journey will put you in a rare state of bliss. Southampton sets us sailing to the cosy canallined hamlet of Bruges before you chart a course beyond the ephemeral boundary of the Arctic Circle. The spirit yearns when the sea beckons you to Hellesylt and Geiranger where inlets, cliffs and waterfalls tumble in shards of silver to dissolve into a rainbow mist. You see craggy cliffs jutting like dragons out of tranquil fjords and legendary landscapes allegedly created by mischievous trolls. Find some of the world’s best scenery in the pocket-sized paradise of Lofoten then follow the wake of Vikings into the Sognefjord to Flåm, Bergen then Stavanger which spoils with Lysefjord and epic hiking trails. The uniqueness of light draws you to Skagen then onward to the cool Scandinavian mist of Copenhagen to stroll amongst the castles of North Zealand, a fittingly royal ending to a historic Maiden Journey.

Ignite your wanderlust with a heart full of “forelsket”, the Danish word for falling in love. As the Norse Viking warriors once did, we depart Copenhagen to conquer an amalgam of mysteries. In the Shetland Islands and Orkneys, we find the past is etched into lands that fan out from Lerwick and Kirkwall including stately high streets and indecipherable standing stones that hint of human history dating back 5,000 years. Panoramic vistas of alpine fields are crisscrossed with walking trails, woolly sheep and splashes of wildflowers. Memories of aged whisky linger on your lips as you navigate towards the icy narrows of Iceland. Like the captivating swell of an ocean wave, the tempo of this journey builds as we reach Reykjavik. An overnight affords time to explore soul-enriching sites inside the Golden Circle, the underworld wonders of a deep magma chamber, or zipping beside looming icebergs in a fast boat. The last wild place on earth lingers forever in memory.

Multilayered, mesmeric, and utterly indefinable, Iceland fulfils dreams of eco-curious experiences. Emotions are amplified standing before the uncontrollable energy of waterfalls, unearthly blue lagoons, and staggering sites that ring the Golden Circle around Reykjavik. Sailing northward around a filigreed coastline of peninsulas—each with its own geological marvels, stories, and wildlife. Thunderstruck, you gaze upon a mountainous valley that shelters Puffins, Arctic Foxes, and idyllic Isafjordur village. Alight on trails leading upwards to spy bird-watching cliffs, waterfalls plucked from a fantasy, and glaciers that are expanding. Skimming the rim of the Arctic Circle, you sail onward through the halls of Heaven and into the deepest Icelandic fjord to find Akureyri; a buzzing whalewatching outpost also renowned for Goðafoss and Icelandic horses, which are the purest breed in the world. Leaving behind huffing volcanos and exploding geysers, you venture southward to Skagen then disembark in Copenhagen to linger in its achingly cool design and historic palaces.

A day at sea leads us to Norway’s crown city of Oslo to find history proudly on display at the Viking Ship Museum and City Hall, where the Nobel Peace Prizes are awarded yearly. We board fast-boats to experience lovely Lysefjord, glide awestruck alongside the Hegjane Waterfall, then discover a mountain stairway, created by Nepalese sherpas, to Preikestolen for soul-enriching cliff-views. We fuel the spirit with the neo-Nordic food scene that has put Stavanger on the culinary map then ply the Elbe River to call upon Hamburg, Germany’s “capital of cool”, where affluent shopping promenades mix with a UNESCO World Heritage Site and together cement Hamburg as a must-do retreat amongst the most sophisticated social circles.

Charming canals and liquid highways lead us to desirable destinations where accolades and achievements cascade like the currents. Hamburg, with six times as many canals as Venice, owes its affluence to water. Today, the most notable network of canals wind through Speicherstadt and beside the sensational Elbphilharmonie concert hall that is applauded as the most acoustically advanced in the world.

Landmark architecture in Rotterdam is similarly set beside life-sustaining canals that now reflect marvellous urban living. Our quest continues to Zeebrugge that is forever linked by the Baudouin Canal to Bruges. Everything here puts its best face toward the water, including the Quay of the Rosary and the Basilica of the Holy Blood that is reported to have a venerated relic of Christ’s blood. Water sustains the dream of the adventurer and there is no time it is more appreciated than aboard this journey.

Cross paths with artists and poets who protest there “may be dragons”. Edinburgh is enigmatic with come-hither nooks and the jaw-dropping global performance of the Military Tattoo set before the light-washed Castle. Hadrian’s Wall and the Angel of the North draw us to Newcastle. Are there mightier men than those in the Highlands of Invergordon who still look upon quiet glens filled with history of past carnage? Nip Ireland’s whisky at the Sliabh Liag Distillery or cycle past the Troubles in Derry across the Peace Bridge. Sing of Yellow Submarines in Liverpool then go in search of kingdoms of the sylvan and sublime in Glasgow and beyond.

A phenomenon in nature occurs when golden sunshine dances across misty, green glens to create a rare effect of celestial light. The luxury of this luminosity begins in Glasgow, where we seek the interlude of modern and ancient sites from Loch Leven to the “armadillo” performance arts centre and charming Buchanan Street, comparable to London’s West End. We follow a crinkled shoreline to find Fort William, the “outdoor capital of the UK” and gateway to the prettiest glens including Glencoe and Glenfinnan, made even more famous in the movies Skyfall and Harry Potter respectively.

The light in Skye, Orkney Islands and Shetland Islands is exceedingly remarkable and spotlights some of the most geologically diverse landmasses in the world. Chasing the midnight sun, we call on the remarkable Faroe Islands, a fairytale of unfathomable allure that seems to come straight out of a Jules Verne novel. Our journey’s final salutation to the sun in Iceland begins enlightening experiences on the land.

Embarkation/disembarkation ports

We are all travellers at heart who crave that tantalizing spark of excitement when stepping into the unfamiliar. Nowhere is that fire better kindled than in the land of ice, where lifeaffirming wonders includes deeply immersive adventures. Zodiak beside looming icebergs. Spelunk massive ice caves. Snorkel between tectonic plates. While most Isafjordur consider this landscape as other-worldly, it is pure heaven to film directors and A-list actors who forge through Game-ofThrones scenery. A golden circle of soul-enriching sites inside the Golden Circle, flights over Gullfoss, Geysir, then immersion beyond Isafjördur. Breath-taking Greenland brings us to the calving Eqi Glacier, the lineage of Erik the Red, and Qaqortoq, the “White Palace,” abounding with icebergs, whales and the Lyngmark Glacier. Reality brings us back to Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and New York where carefully crafted land experiences let you explore like a local.

EASTERLY

Commissioned in 1787 at the behest of America’s founding President George Washington, and to eat world-renowned ruby lobster in the neighbouring harbour.

Nudging into Atlantic Canada and plying the waters between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick brings dramatic rockscapes and redsand beaches; here days at sea allow nature at its most windswept to unfold as we slip past rugged shores, allowing us to restore and renew.

There is no place with more potentiality than Manhattan, the global capital of commerce and culture. The MoMa, Wall Street and Harlem, Gotham City embraces it all … and so can you easily during an overnight in the metropolis that never sleeps. Saunter into the galleries of Soho; nosh at restaurants in Hell’s Kitchen; sail beside the Statue of Liberty, the glorious gift from France. Beautiful sites continue in Boston, dubbed the Athens of America. Go behindthe-scenes along Freedom Trail; witness the Old North Church; call upon Paul Revere’s House; and hear the battle cries at Bunker Hill Monument. Intriguing beyond measure, we sail to St. John’s, which serves as gateway to the Bay of Fundy, a jaw-dropping phenomenon with a tidal change so massive that actually cause a shift in the region’s gravity. From one astonishment to the next, we slip through the St. Lawrence River to arrive at Quebec City just as a thousand lights twinkle on at Le Château Frontenac and the UNESCO Old City of ingenuity. 400 years old and still very much alive, she was founded by Champlain then lost to the British; however, her heart remains devoted to the Francophile. Terrasse Dufferin, a magnificent 425-m-long boardwalk, offers views of the St. Lawrence River but Château Frontenac, an audaciously elegant structure, soars even higher with fabulous green-copper turrets. Don’t miss fresh croissants from Paillard boulangerie, the cobbled lanes of Le Quartier Petit-Champlain, or PlaceRoyale, the city’s original square where a statue of King Louis XIV watches over all.

QUEBECOIS CULTURE, CANADIAN FJORDS & NEW AMSTERDAM

Embarkation/disembarkation ports

Our exploration begins where French colonial history began in Quebec City. Founded by Samuel de Champlain, crowned with the Chateau Frontenac, Quebec City has reigned as a bastion of the French New World for more than 400 years. The adventures of Jacques Cartier call us deep into the scenic Saguenay River. Wild, rugged, and unfazed by time, we visit La Baie, celebrated as one of the “Most Beautiful Villages in Quebec” and charming Baie-Comeau, which is the heart of a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. Breathtaking landscapes lead us to Prince Edwards Island, famed for red-sand beaches and Anne of Green Gables. In Halifax, sample the eighty-plus wineries that have perfected viticulture in their 410-years of production. A 24-hour overnight aboard ship in New York City affords time to see the Statue of Liberty and sunset from the Empire State Building.

EUROPEAN INFLUENCES IN THE NEW WORLD

From New York, the city of steeples, to Quebec City, “la vieille capitale”, North America is blessed with more than 400 years of European influence. New York City, originally founded by the Dutch as New Amsterdam and gifted the Statue of Liberty from France, now gives to the world the 9/11 Memorial & Museum that honors hope, resilience, and unity for all future generations. Applaud a Broadway Show; catch the view from the Top of the Rock; stroll the High Line; an overnight affords time to embrace it all. Fall foliage calls us to beautiful Boston, dubbed the Athens of America, that’s built upon almost 400 years of academia and culture. The city’s wharves whisper of tea parties, its libraries of tell revolutionary greats, and its JFK Presidential Library & Museum to recount America’s “Camelot”. In Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia, we find roots of Celtic, Acadian, and African cultures along with the largest number of lighthouses of any Canadian province. Head to pretty Peggy’s Cove to see the most photographed lighthouse in the country then crack open a ruby lobster in the surrounding fishing village. For two days, we follow the “whale route” of the St. Lawrence River where 13 species of marine mammals feast of the plentiful krill. Enticing, enchanting, Quebec City calls with her 400-year-old Vieux-Quebec (Old Town), an impeccable UNESCO site, that still ripples with life along

meandering cobbled streets and the green-cooper turreted Chateau Frontenac. Extend you Quebecois immersion in the City of Saints, Montréal, where the celebrated Golden Square Mile awaits with impeccable Victorian-era buildings bursting with French boutiques, Parisian-style bistros, magnificent McGill University, and the stately Montréal Museum of Fine Arts.

AUTUMN LEAVES & PALM TREES ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST

When summer leaves turn crimson and gold, there’s no better place to be than the colourful coves of Canada and New England. The wonder begins in Quebec City where charming UNESCO Parisian boutiques and bistro-lined cobbled streets in the quaint Old Town. Catch your breath in Gaspé and Nova Scotia, where we yearn to explore pine forests, rocky promontories, and pristine beauty so hard to encounter in the modern world.

Feel the sea air and breathe a new season in your lungs. Portland promises more off-the-grid, small town charm where pints and flights are enjoyed along historic avenues. An overnight in New York City allows time to explore a behemoth of culture and creativity from Broadway to The Met to fashionable 5th Avenue. An ocean state of mind takes us to Florida’s Space Coast to find out-of-bounds experiences at Kennedy Space Center and Daytona International Speedway then gentle tides lead us to Miami where blindingly white beaches are matched only by the city’s blazing hot nightlife.

BRIGHT CITY LIGHTS AND STUNNING SCENERY

Design cool, ever-mesmeric Miami and the art deco sweep of South Beach make for a heady start to this varied sailing, before New York City, which never sleeps, pulls you into its orbit with Broadway’s hottest ticket and a helicopter over the Manhattan skyline or negronis with friends at an in-the-know Soho hangout.

We meander up the coast of America’s New England to the elegant beauty of Boston, where the wharves whisper of tea parties and patriotism. Nudging north into Atlantic Canada, our pauses are peppered with historic, small-town charm. You passage along craggy coastlines to Havre-Saint-Pierre and the Mingan Archipelago, where puffins and sea-sculpted limestone monoliths scatter across a string of 2,000 islets and islands. Forging into the Gulf of St Lawrence to the Gaspé peninsula we seek bald eagles and black bears in the boreal forests until we reach picturesque Quebec City, home to the UNESCO-protected old quarter yet alive with contemporary culture and cuisine.

Forest-covered islands ablaze in autumn colours emerge from the St. Lawrence River as we bid farewell to Quebec City, the fortified bastion that once controlled France’s North American empire. The occasional spout of a passing beluga echoes in the sanctity of silent nature as we sail reverently through the steep-sided fjords of Saguenay to La Baie, an ancient trading post frozen in time. Look out for historic marinas and rocky headlands bejewelled with red and white lighthouses on the journey to Prince Edward Island, where the lobster boats of Charlottetown lure us in with epicurean appeal. Retrace Canada’s roots in Nova Scotia’s storied capital Halifax, then delve into the teeming waters of New England, where the chilled Labrador Current meets the warm Gulf Stream and blue, beluga and minke whales cavort in mineral rich waters. Arrive to thunderous applause in New York City, where Broadway, the MoMa and Greenwich Village await.

Casting off from the city that never sleeps, we follow the Gulf Stream and meander up the coast of New England – its forestlined clifftops aflame with autumn colour – to Boston, seeking Harvard’s hallowed hallways, clam chowders and wharves that whisper of tea parties and puritans. Maine brings hip-and-happy Portland and a craggy coastline scattered with secluded sandy bays, candy-striped lighthouses, world-famous lobster shacks and laid-back harbour towns. The Labrador Current draws us onwards to Nova Scotia, where we delve into Canadian heritage in Halifax before climbing the iconic star-shaped citadel and walking within its historic walls. The dramatic shoreline and redsand beaches of New Brunswick merge into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, its tiny islands and unique marine ecosystem home to seals, porpoises and pods of curious whales. Rounding the wildly picturesque Gaspé Peninsula, we pull into fairy tale-esque Quebec City, its UNESCO-protected old quarter elevated by thriving contemporary culture and cuisine.

Intriguing beyond measure, La Baie sits amongst churning streams and trails that cut through colourful arboreal gorges and grassy meadows, where Vikings loved in their mythical Canadian Valhalla. Go with the flow into charming Charlottetown where there are lighthouses of lore and a bridge of marvellous engineering. In Halifax, you can tee-off for a day of golf, sip local terroir in boutique wineries, or solve the curse of storied Oak Island. The wondrous whale highway transitions us from wide-open spaces to the culture-packed New York City, where you can linger to applaud laureates of fashion and cuisine as the skyline comes alight at night.

We say so long to the Big Apple and sail for the mystical midAtlantic archipelago of Bermuda – the inspiration, some say, for Shakespeare’s The Tempest. It was here in 1609 on a dark ‘n’ stormy night that Sir George Somers and the Sea Venture ran aground, stranding the British sailors, and today the charming small towns of St George’s and Hamilton remain whimsically British. Add to this Bermuda’s peach-sand beaches, beautiful shallow reefs, rich birdsong and burgeoning creative energy and you have a beguiling mix.

From here to the Caribbean, where we trace a horseshoe of tropical islands: from volcanic Virgin Gorda, with its labyrinthine Baths and grottoes, to Antigua for maritime history and myriad fine restaurants, Curacao in the Dutch West Indies for the fairytale Willemstad and its melting pot of influences, and the Dominican Republic for less-travelled Samana’s showering waterfalls and whale skeletons. Last bliss comes from our private marine reserve in the Bahamas before we sweep into high-spirited Miami.

THE CARIBBEAN

The beauty of the Caribbean is without doubt its crystalline waters – and there’s no better way to explore and enjoy them. Our ships weave a way through the more than 700 islets and islands, sometimes for months at a time.

DELIGHTING IN THE SEDUCTIVE WARMTH OF THIS TROPICAL PARADISE

We follow the sea turtle’s lead and keep the pace languid, our days sprinkled with snorkelling through caves and amidst underwater kingdoms of kaleidoscopic coral and fish.

On shore, island life is just as colourful. From the unsurpassed French chic of the volcanic Saint Barthelemy to the character of Puerto Rico, the Caribbean’s vibe is joyous and free-spirited, offering escapism at its most uplifting.

BECOME IMMERSED IN ITS VIBRANT CULTURE AND CUISINE

Walk its sugar cane, coffee and cocoa farmland, and then just drop out beneath its swaying coconut palms.

Green jungled hills and cloud-shrouded mountains offer the most majestic of backdrops, whilst the orchid-filled primordial rainforests are rich in wildlife, from monkeys and mongoose to sloths and hundreds of species of songbird, including the most vivid-green hummingbirds.

Raise the heartbeat with a hike amidst local flora and SOARING silk

An Inaugural Journey that embraces the MAGIC and LUXURIOUSNESS of the Caribbean, from cosmopolitan Miami to VIBRANT San Juan.

Sophisticated, yet DYNAMIC .

A YACHTSMAN’S PARADISE

This Journey exudes a warm élan that’s at once cosmopolitan and elegantly tropical. Fittingly, we begin in Miami, where the moon shines on a sultry, sophisticated city. Sky-scraping palm trees breezily lean over miles and miles of beaches, highwattage clubs throb along Ocean Drive, and boutique shopping is mesmeric in magnificent Bal Harbour. Plying a southern chain of mangrove islands, we call on Key West. Hop the infamous Conch Tour Train to the southern-most tip of the US. Visit Roosevelt’s Little While House then raise a glass to Hemingway at his favorite hangout, Sloppy Joe’s Bar and Grill. A long-held yachtsmen’s cove, Virgin Gorda, enchants with curious beach boulders as big as houses tossed about like a giant’s marbles. A true femme fatale, even the ocean floor of this BVI enchantress is beautiful thanks to Art Reef installations like a giant Kraken, sea monster, devouring a former WWII tanker that survived even Pearl Harbor! The luxurious awakening of joie de vivre pulls us to the dreamlike harbor of Deshaies, where the French overland of Guadeloupe blends with spicy African and East Indian origins. A cozy Creole village

leads to a gold sand beach that is equal parts sapphire waters and emerald jungles. Climb like the wild vines up La Grande Dame at La Soufriere, the island’s sleepy volcano, to discover a wilderness untouched by time. Top-shelf adventures await where Horatio Nelson once dropped anchor. Sip potent Antiguan rums; shop sassy St. John’s, trip-out on rose-colored sands of sister island Barbuda; savor the rare Antigua Black Pineapple that grows only on these verdant shores. Hummingbirds, herons, parrots in every color, Puerto Rico’s landscape is a vibrant painter’s portrait. Venture inland to El Yuenque National Forest to find thick primeval jungles where a cathedral-like hush reveals the natural soundtrack of Blue Warbler birds, Coqui frogs, and tumbling waterfalls.

Yachts gleam in the harbour, boutiques sell Parisian fancies, and bonafide barefoot bars serve off-the-charts tranquility. With our head full of dreams, we call on St. Kitts, an island of wonders where we can ascend through a virgin rain forest to summit Mount Liamuiga and gaze down upon her dormant crater.

More emerald peaks and placid shores continue on to the Dominican Republic with four of the five highest peaks in the Caribbean, lush jungles carved by rivers and waterfalls. Shades of aquamarine, amethyst turning translucent opal, the colours of the sky, sea and sandy cays all are seemingly inseparable. This is the wonder of Ocean Cay Marine Reserve, our private island paradise that ecologically and geographically achieves the impossible dream of being gloriously secluded on a paradisiacal island.

The pageantry of beach and city play out for us in Miami, a seaside sensation that lives more like a small global country. No passports are required in the last bolt hole of America as we glide into Key West, known as the Conch Republic. The meeting point of excitement and elegance finds us in Virgin Gorda where we enter a riot of dreamlike landscapes too vivid for words. Saint Barthélemy and Guadeloupe woo with French swagger and yacht-set good looks whilst tropical temptations take us to Antigua and St. Lucia where we can actually drive into a volcano! We end our reverie in Barbados with the high-tea reputation of being more British than the British!

Surround yourself in cerulean blue, tranquility and sky on Bonaire, considered the Caribbean’s shore-diving capital and the birthplace of windsurfing.

Following a westerly breeze, we find Willemstad, a UNESCO jewel, with brightly coloured Dutch-gabled buildings that look like a tropical Amsterdam. With 26 hours in the Dutch West Indies port, we can take our time exploring this semi-arid island.

Rugged and majestic, born of volcanic fire yet matured in barefoot elegance, we call on small harbors and private islands that all belong to the Caribbean but live spiritually in a state of mind. In a theatrical scene of grandeur, we call on Castries, a breathtakingly exotic gateway to St. Lucia. So enamored were the French and British that they savagely fought each other for her procession. You’ll see their ruins at Fort Rodney and Pigeon Island on her north shore. Grand Pitons to the south and the original French settlement, Soufriére . On the island of St. Kitts we feel the sigh of history settled over the ruins of Brimstone Hill — “the Gibraltar of the West Indies” — whist the landscape is abloom with fruits and flowers. Sailing though azure waters, we slip into St. John’s, a picturesque place of rich plantations, forts, and sugar-cane ruins, each romantically picturesque yet all tragically entwined with the practice of slavery. Today, however, we find landmarks of remembrance, colorful quays that await exploration, off-road adventures, and inflatable dinghy boats that zip to the best dive spots. With a mastery of mesmerism, we enjoy two days at sea; sitting in the calm of dawn on your private terrace, you discover how

Blending subtropical glamour with captivating cosmopolitan scene, featuring the best of Miami all the way to the exotic Colombia. A seashore so far removed from the every day and yet so absolutely cosy and captivating. The towering peaks of the Sierra Nevada mountains, tower over Santa Marta where the air sparkles like diamonds as it shimmers down upon the ancient city. Founded in 1525, she was the first Spanish settlement and historical site of the Lost City, an indigenous citadel that is some 650 years older than Peru’s Machu Picchu. Mysticism and realism turn your wanderlust into wandermust in Cartagena de India. Here, the city tells a story that few others can, beginning with Spanish colonisation, repeated attacks by the (original) pirates of the Caribbean, revolution, and the final resting place of world-acclaimed Nobel Peace writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez (considered the best Spanish-language writer since Cervantes). An overnight aboard EXPLORA allows time to explore Cartagena’s UNESCO fortified old city, where an exuberance for life overflows in a maze of cobbled streets that are full of wrought-iron balconies dripping with bougainvillea and history that thrives forever.

A tale of two cities, Cartagena is a seaside siren who is both heroic and handsome with a well-preserved 15th century fortress - a UNESCO marvel - that staved off plunderers with massive iron cannons that now, ironically, point toward her shining city of modern buildings. Magnificent marvels continue in Colón, home to the impressive Gatun Locks and Gatun Dam of Panama Canal as well as the UNESCO site of Fort St. Lorenzo, that once protected the Spanish Crown. Wonders continue in Curaçao with its UNESCO site harbour that resembles a tropical Amsterdam. For the ultimate utopian experience, Bonaire and Martinique offer unmatched drama, from flocks of pink flamingos to cacti that grow to more than 9 metres tall and the looming cloud-shrouded crater of Mount Pelée. Our final UNESCO delight is Bridgetown Garrison, that has guarded the prosperous British outpost of Barbados since 1705.

Under-the-radar anchorages and over-the-top experiences define this Journey that begins in British playground of choice, Barbados. Adrift on our dreams, we call on Roseau where rain forests wrap slumbering 1,219 m (4,000 ft) volcanoes, waterfalls tumble in profusion, and life is a throwback to simpler, easier times. On St. Lucia, our lesser-known idle of Castries is more reminiscent of yesterday’s Caribbean with picturesque Homestead and hamlets that lead us to an island sloped with forested peaks. Again, we anchor with the yachts at charming Deshaies, to dip our toes in the sand at Grand Anse or explore a rainforest on the mountaintop of Basse-Terre. In St. Barths, we enjoy VIP access to the island’s most exclusive barefootchic beaches reserved for the ambitious and glamorous. Captivating and festive, our final call is San Juan, a destination that is more than you can imagine and all that you desire in a yachtsman’s Caribbean.

1 MARCH – 8 MARCH 2024 7 NIGHTS

Embarkation/disembarkation ports

Glorious islands as far as the eye can see; idylls as popular as Martinique or undiscovered as Ocean Cay and as romanticised as St. Kitts. No island of consequence escapes our attention. No harbour too remote for us to find. We sail from bustling Bridgetown to trace a volcanic arc of archipelagos and find Saint Pierre rising on the horizon like a vision.

Coquettishly French and charmingly Creole, you’ll warm to the same light that inspired Gauguin. Lush, dramatic, pristine, Basseterre beckons with rivers that thunder, hikes that climb into a volcanic caldera and mischievous vervent monkeys faintly tinted green.

As close to heaven as a beating heart will allow; Samaná draws us with her beauty and hopeful sightings of humpback whales. A magical experience on an almost mythical island; Ocean Cay is exclusive, environmental sensitive, and luxuriously sustainable. Our private MSC Marine Reserve wraps you in the unprecedented reality of a true island paradise.

The Caribbean shines with stars; sparkling islands so provocative, so utterly charismatic, they become wellsprings for exploration. We find fathoms of freedom in blue-turningturquoise waters sailing from Miami to Key West; energetic, effervescent, Cuban-spiced destinations that sway with a palpable buzz. A fragrant cachet of florals and French baguettes. Waves of ivory-coloured sands. Virgin Gorda and Gustavia offer perfect days of power-lounging where the chic and sleek tan. Delve into Deshaies to explore rainforests, French ruins and filming sites of Death in Paradise. Bubbles of champagne and volcanic mud baths burst in the sun of Soufrière. Take a strenuous-but-worth-it hike up Gros Piton or watch clouds float across Petite Piton from Hummingbird Beach. 18-square kilometres of perfection, Bequia is that vintage postcard with sugary white beaches, swaying palms, and lobster shacks selling ‘free beer tomorrow’. Does it get any better than this?

Mapped by Columbus. Fought over by the Spanish, French, Dutch, Danish and English. The Southern Caribbean is a parade of islands and idyllic harbors that beg to be discovered. Verdant, vibrant, Roseau is a dream where shades of emerald green are too vivid to imagine. The Lesser Antilles — Aruba and Curaçao — beguile with vivid flamingos, wind-bent divi divi trees, and Dutch windmills. The curvaceous shore of Colombia leads to an overnight in Cartagena; a tropical city with a seductive blend of 500-year-old history and exuberant beauty. No place more magical than Puerto Limon; skywalk in a virginal forest and ford rivers in search of anteaters, sloths, and giant butterflies. Nature and ingenuity conspire as we sail under the Bridge of Americas to negotiate the locks of the Panama Canal. With front-row views aboard EXPLORA I, you experience one of the most amazing man-made wonders where the triumph of engineering connects two shining seas.

BRIDGETOWN CARTAGENA

CENTRAL AMERICA TO CENTRE STAGE IN LOS ANGELES

Everything on this Journey moves at the speed of desire: remote coasts and romantic resorts, chic cities and cloud forests. We start where dreamers and builders dug a short-cut from sea to shining sea in Panama City then dive into one of the most biologically intense places on the planet, Costa Rica. Here 4% of the world’s biodiversity finds sloths and monkeys in Manuel Antonio National Park and an otherworldly Monteverde to discover birds, trees, orchids, and plants that cannot be found anywhere else on earth!

We join sunbathers and surfers in San Juan del Sur, then search for Mayan roots in Puerto Quetzal. With a sky and sea that are mostly flawlessly blue, the Mexican Rivera calls us to Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas. But perhaps nothing can prepare you for arriving in San Diego and Los Angeles, both cinematic cities where culture meets the coast.

Sexy metropolis intermingles with sultry jungle as we set out from high energy Panama City and allow its iconic ocean-toocean canal to carry us from the Pacific to the Caribbean. Traversing one of the world’s finest man-made wonders, we ply the spidery tributaries of Gatun Lake and forge into Chagres National Park, passing dramatic dams, spillways, and showering waterfalls in search of elusive wild cats and soul-renewing salutations with indigenous Embrera Indians.

Pirate battles and colonial ruins punctuate the port town of Porto Lemon, our gateway to Costa Rica’s eco-paradise, where howler and capuchin monkeys swing through a verdant cloud forest alive with birdsong and blue morpho butterflies. Our jungle chapter comes to a close in colourful Key West, the last in the string of laid-back, coral reefed cays, before the beautiful waters and our private-island-escape of the Bahamas beckon. Only magnetic Miami, where distinguished art deco meets design and contemporary-art scene cool, can soften this return to reality.

We segue from southern Florida, moving from design-loving Miami and Hemingway’s colourful Key West to the pastel houses and leafy plazas of Yucatan capital Merida. Embracing ancient Mayan civilisation, we might visit Uxmal and Chichen Itza or take a soul-cleansing, shaman-led wellness ceremony at a cenote – almost surreally stunning fresh-water sinkhole. We seek flamingos at the Rio Lagartos lagoon and mindbending pink lakes at Las Coloradas.

To New Orleans, for parades, paddle boats, joy and jazz. We wander elegantly faded Bywater and the French Quarter, its wraparound wrought-iron balconies seemingly draping the facades in lace and join the Big Easy’s revelry of live music from the famed Preservation Hall to jazz clubs and street jamborees. Recuperation comes from our Bahamas private island retreat before Miami pulls us into her orbit once more.

Miami’s sultry magnetism and swaying palms sets the tone for this colourful caper through the Caribbean, where crystalline warm waters, white-as-sugar sands and lively cultural spirit are a common thread. We switch the art deco sweep of South Beach and the most charismatic of the Florida Keys for the beautiful baths on volcanic Virgin Gorda, where natural boulders between two sandy bays have created a labyrinth of shallow sun-dappled pools and shady grottoes.

To pretty, Georgian Basseterre and the rainforested slopes of Saint Kitts, where we climb its steep upland trails to ogle orchids in a gossamer mist or head to the shore to swim with sea turtles. Sailing south to the Lesser Antilles and Gauguin’s Martinique, we find sugar plantations, thundering waterfalls and the 18thc ruins of Saint Pierre, destroyed in 1902 by still smouldering Mont Pelée, before gently breezing into Bridgetown and embracing its slow Bajan rhythm.

Sail the deserted cays and calm lagoons of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines before meandering Kingstown’s cobbled streets and botanical gardens. In Saint Lucia, Gallic in heritage and Creole at heart, UNESCO-listed volcanic peaks rise above a tropical jungle scattered with coconut and banana groves, whilst in Saint Kitts we climb the UNESCO Brimstone Fortress for views of the island’s quieter companion Nevis and take the Caribbean’s only train, sitting in open-air carriages as we cross deep ravines and trace dark green rainforest to the Georgian-verandahed capital Basseterre. Our own marine reserve and private island escape of Ocean Cay beckons, ahead of Miami’s magnet pull, where distinguished art deco meets design and contemporaryart scene cool.

More than an escape from everyday life, but a deeper immersion into it; this journey sets you on a captivating current connecting Miami to Barbados. Floridian fun times begin in finger-on-the-pulse Miami and move to Hemingway’s quirky Key West, the last in the string of laid-back, coral-reefed cays. On volcanic Virgin Gorda we seek the Baths on its southernmost tip, where natural boulders between two beautiful sandy bays create a labyrinth of shallow pools connected by little ladders and walkways, whilst jungly Antigua’s maritime history and myriad fine restaurants are complemented by colourful, craggy Martinique, Gauguin’s inspiration, with its wide sweeping beaches and fusion of French history and habits with West Indian tropicality. Arriving at sunrise, we fall into the Bajan rhythm in Bridgetown, switching between the Atlantic rollers crashing against the eastern shore and the more manicured west, which casts an altogether different sun-soaked spell.

Uncork sun-soaked Holiday memories overflowing with Caribbean colour and conviviality, varied lush topography and warm crystalline waters that are the yin to the gala-merriment yang. We begin in Barbados and surge southwest to Bequia in the Grenadines, where we slow the pace and absorb its vintage postcard vibe. Dominica’s Nature Island delivers showering waterfalls hidden among tropical canopies and some of the world’s best diving – expect shipwrecks and thermal springs bubbling up from the ocean floor – whilst in Saint Kitts we stroll amid the Georgian architecture of Basseterre and jump aboard the Caribbean’s only train to trace the coastline.

Elaborate festivities herald Christmas Day at sea with a long, languorous lunch that melds into sparkling parties and a champagne-studded evening. The gifts of the Caribbean continue with the clearest sea and powdery sands of our Bahamas private-island-escape, leaving us ready to revel again in ever-magnetic Miami.

Weaving together an electrifying entanglement of idyllic islands and Caribbean celebrations, this Journey is a tapestry of riches with its first stitches in the design nexus of Miami and Hemingway’s colourful Key West. We bid farewell to the year upon the sybaritic beaches of Virgin Gorda, so-called by Christopher Columbus who decided the island’s rain-forested folds resembled the curves of a woman. You might summit Gorda peak and explore the renowned Baths, a labyrinth of shallow seawater-filled grottoes. Before the clock strikes midnight, you sail under a starry sky and watch the New Year dawn on the horizon. The new sun ruses unhurriedly across ancient Antigua and little sister Barbuda where the pinkest sands proclaim paradise is found. Sailing south to volcanic Martinique, you marvel in the mix of Gallic charms, where fresh baguettes and riotous petanque games in town fade away into tropical forests. To glam Barbados with its buzzy Bridgetown, glorious botanical gardens, epic surf on the east and manicured perfection on the west, green monkeys and golf.

Revel in French cuisine and autumn tones in Quebec City then embrace the gentle flow of the Saguenay River, where pods of minke and beluga whales sluice deftly through the deep. The river’s charms unfold as we sail along the glacier-hewn fjord, threading through soaring rockfaces. Turn back time in frontier-feel La Baie and discover the ancient trading post whose creaking pulp mill stoically stands. The rust-red shopfronts of Charlottetown contrast with the shingle and clapboard vernacular of Prince Edward Island, where history is chronicled through architectural evolution. Historic seaside communities around Nova Scotia’s beating heart Halifax invite us to delve deeper into Canada’s roots. Cultural curiosity sated, we press on to the US coast and allow ourselves to be enveloped by New York’s super-charged high-rise embrace.

In Barbuda we slip seamlessly from blush-pink sands – the pinkest in the Caribbean – to big sister Antigua’s maritime history and myriad fine restaurants. Sailing south to volcanic Martinique, the ruins of St Pierre a macabre reminder of the still smouldering Mont Pelée’s might, we find beaches a beguiling mix of French seaside charm – Petanque anyone? – and Caribbean paradise. The Grand finale: glam Barbados, for golf, green monkeys, glorious botanical gardens, buzzy Bridgetown, surfy Bathsheba – its striking rocks eroded by big Atlantic rollers – and rum bars aplenty, to toast a journey that will live long in the memory.

Lush forests, thundering cascades and gin-clear pools replenish the imagination in pintsized Dominica, where the boiling lakes and volcanic landscapes of Morne Trois Pitons National Park form a primordial counterpoint to the tranquil coast around sleepy Roseau. Journey through the Leeward Islands to St. Kitts, where you stroll through gorgeous British pockets in Basseterre and climb the ramparts of Brimstone Fortress for dramatic views of the island’s quieter companion Nevis.

Brazil is a wonderland where waterfalls roar, rainforests thrive and horses thunder across the wild pampas. Sail with us as we trace an emerald coast, mapping one stunning highlight after the next. Multi-sensory and mind-bending explorations await in São Paulo, where pre-journey experiences may find you delving deep into the continent’s interior. An escape as pure as the sea. Famous beaches. Deep tans. Rio de Janeiro pulses with a certain way of living, laughing, and loving.

We breeze into Buzios where Brigitte Bardot decamped in 1964, forever changing the once sleepy fishing village into a refuge for starlets and royals. We savour the vibrant AfroBrazilian culture of Salvador. Step inside colonial churches covered in gold and a UNESCO 16th-century village in Recife. Drive rolling sand dunes in Fortaleza along massive beaches and a stunning skyline. Then cross the Equator to discover the Napoleonic mysteries of Devil’s Island and British naval victories of Bridgetown.

A JOURNEY INTO WILD AND WONDERFUL AMAZONIA

22 – 29 NOVEMBER 2024

7 NIGHTS

Sights set on the almighty Amazon, we forge away from the pink sands and pristine beaches of Barbados and chart a course for the bounty of Brazil. First stop is Devil’s Island, the jungle-strewn former penal colony off the coast of French Guyana, where glorious oversize butterflies distract from the island’s haunting past.

To the brilliant biodiversity of Amazonia, where we weave between Macapa – the capital of the middle of the world – and Manaus in the heart of the Brazilian rainforest. We’ll spy pink dolphins, manatees and river otters among the wide and winding waterways, alighting for visits to tribal villages in the company of spider monkeys and jaguars, and seek jungle trails scattered with waterfalls and wild orchids. Twice we witness the strange Meeting of the Waters: in Santarem near Alter do Chão, where the crystal-clear waters and string of sandy beaches invite comparisons with the Caribbean; and in Manaus, where the inky Rio Negro meets, but doesn’t merge with, the more muddied Rio Solimoes. Lively Manaus and its beautiful Belle Epoque opera house sway us slowly back to earth.

JOURNEY TO THE MEETING WATERS ON THE ALMIGHTY AMAZON

Manaus – secreted in the heart of the steamy Brazilian rainforest – is our stepping-stone to this pulse-quickening Amazon adventure. By zodiac we ply its wide and winding waterways, seeking extraordinary pink river dolphins and the hippo-like snouts of the gentle manatee, whilst at twilight we tune in to a nocturnal jungle soundtrack on a torchlit kayak. Forest trails take us to tribal villages, weaving amidst waterfalls and wild orchids as we seek the elusive jaguar, king of the jungle. Twice we bear witness to the inexplicable Meeting of the Waters: in Manaus, where the inky Rio Negro greets the more muddied Rio Solimoes; and in Santarem, where the Amazon meets the crystal-clear waters of the Tapajos.

Slipping away from the Amazon, we answer the call of the Caribbean as we sail the oft-deserted, calm cays of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, where only nine of the 32 volcanic islands and islets are inhabited, pausing at teeny seven-mile long Bequia before pulling into Bridgetown for beautiful beaches and rum bars abuzz with Bajan spirit.

Tempo builds among Recife’s colonial churches and the bingeworthy beaches of Maceió, before thunderous drums signal our arrival in Salvador de Bahia, where the hypnotic rhythm of your first Carnival experience permeates the air. With an African soul, Salvador beats to a rhythm all its own fuelled by a frenzy of Afro Blonco drum troupes. Still, nothing can prepare you for the sight of the Sambódromo: a sea of sequined dancers whose infectious energy spills out into every street and square of Rio de Janeiro.

OUR US & CANADA PACIFIC COAST & HAWAII JOURNEYS

PACIFIC COAST & HAWAII

Hawai’i feels at once remote and tantalisingly exotic. We celebrate Polynesian heritage, culture and the islanders’ proud identity as we wear the lei and perform the hula or luau – deep-rooted native traditions underpinned by an appreciation of the land and its sacred energy.

THE 8 MAJOR ISLANDS IN THIS VOLCANIC ARCHIPELAGO PROFFER A SPELLBINDING TOPOGRAPHY

Encounter lush tropical forests, deep green valleys, cascading waterfalls, vertiginous cliffs (or palis in Hawaii), endless sand dunes and some of the world’s most beautiful beaches –in places long, wide and golden, where the big Pacific rollers entice a laid-back surfing crowd; elsewhere shallow, quiet and ideal for snorkelling with turtles and parrotfish.

But also prepare for LUNAR -like BLACK - sand beaches, the Green Sand beach (coloured that way by the olivine crystals) and the ICONIC red royal poinciana trees.

In places Hawai’i remains an unspoiled paradise, resonating with Mark Twain’s description of Kailua-Kona as “the sleepiest, quietest, Sundayest looking place you can imagine”. In others it’s as buzzing and vibrant

as can be, where excellent line-caught mahi mahi or shrimp tacos from a food truck on the beach might be followed by white pineapples and fresh papaya and washed down with a Mai Tai.

Embrace the ADVENTURE and take a FAST boat to snorkel at Lanai or Molikini, surrounded by turtle and parrotfish.

The “red carpet” treatment continues in San Francisco, a shimmering city by the bay, where you can hike a coastal path with tech billionaires or stroll the Golden Gate Park to arrive at Haight-Ashbury, the birthplace of counterculture in the 1960s. An overnight allows time to venture to Napa Valley and Sonoma, the laid-back “Bordeaux of America”.

Astoria welcomes with cosy vibes where lush forests set the perfect backdrop for small-town America.

OUR ALASKA

The father of National Parks, John Muir once wrote of Alaska, “one should never go as a young man because you’ll never be satisfied with any other place as long as you live.” In a land of seemingly limitless magnificent glaciers, open skies and emerald forests, it’s clear why this final frontier has inspired people for generations.

SAIL INTO AN UNTAMED WILDERNESS OF INCONCEIVABLE VASTNESS, WHERE CIVILISATION IS SUBSERVIENT TO ITS SURROUNDINGS

Prepare for the visceral power of Alaska and a world of new adventure that takes you to the very edges of civilisation – a rare opportunity to explore untouched wilderness from a unique perspective. From navigating the Inside Passage’s thousands of islands, coves, and bays to following the whales’ highway from Ketchikan to Juneau, it is impossible not to marvel at the spectacle that nature has created for you.

Delve into destination experiences which take you to towns otherwise cut off in winter – experience fresh, local cuisine and immerse yourself in native culture, before losing yourself in landscapes that cannot be seen or experienced anywhere else on earth.

History and mysteries loom large here: centuries-old petroglyphs; tales of the gun-slinger Wyatt Earp; and jet boats that fly up the Stikine River to LeConte and Shakes Glaciers. Wonderful, stunning. We step lightly in Sitka and discover where even more wild things are: the Fortress of Bears, Alaska Raptor Centre, and waters teeming with halibut fish that are amongst the biggest in the world.

We follow the flow of massive glacier action to magnificent Misty Fjord, a seldom-seen American national treasure with awe-inspiring topography. Sheer walls of granite plunge over 3,000 feet and lush forests of hemlock cling to snow-capped peaks of rugged grandeur.

SAILING THE WHALE’S HIGHWAY

Embrace the magic of sailing into the unfamiliar; experience a shift in perspective when encountering what is wild and completely new. With a singular focus to ply northerly climes, we witness the deepest contours of the “whale highway” — from Ketchikan to Juneau — to marvel at three of Alaska’s hallmarks: Misty Fjord and the glaciers of Hubbard and Mendenhall. All the senses are arrested in Icy Strait Point at Hoonah, where wildlife outnumbers people. Beyond belief, we gather in awe to watch Hubbard Glacier shoulder its way to Disenchantment Bay.

A site that never disappoints is Valdez. You’ll need to pinch yourself to ensure you’re not dreaming, especially in Juneau where Mendenhall Glacier and snowy peaks push skywards. Wild adventures continue in Sitka with its Russian history and Fortress of Bears. We turn to follow whale’s moving southward and return to British Columbia and explore Victoria and Vancouver.

Breathe in the rarefied air of snow-capped mountains of Ketchikan and Juneau. Forge deeper into winding narrows to find a wilderness where bears outnumber people. Dolphins and otters provide escort into one of the world’s longest fjords where the mountains are higher, the vistas more dramatic, and the glaciers impossibly more gigantic. A crescendo of anticipation builds as we ply Misty Fjord and Tracy Arm Fjord; each a dizzying display of energy where waterfalls plummet; granite cliffs thrust skyward; and wildlife calls out in a symphony of sounds.

OUR MEDITERRANEAN & WESTERN EUROPE JOURNEYS

THE MEDITERRANEAN

“The sea was sapphire coloured, and the sky burned like a heated opal through air. We hoisted sail; the wind was blowing fair.” So wrote Oscar Wilde as he sailed for Greece and its islands, where every cove, olive grove and flower-strewn mountaintop captured his imagination.

We endeavour to do the same on our explorations of the Mediterranean, combining the beguiling glamour of French Riviera and the Côte d’Azure with island hopping from Sardinia, Ibiza and Santorini to Captain Corelli’s Kefalonia.

Step in awe amidst their ancient ruins and savour the spell cast by Europe’s wealth of great art and glorious architecture. Visits ashore may range from a quiet caffè latte in a shaded piazza corner to a cocktail.

Back on board we channel the people of the Mediterranean, who have long mastered the art of living well.

SUN drenched days and HAZY siestas segue into unhurried evenings with dinner in the WARM breeze– on deck or on land at local trattorias and the Med’s most storied WATERFRONT restaurants.

Saluting the Rock of Gibraltar, one of the Pillars of Hercules, sentinels of the Strait between Europe and Africa, we voyage east to Granada, where within the pinky-red walls of the Moorish Alhambra lie exquisite fountains, filigree walls and collonaded courtyards. Spanish charm continues in Murcia on the Costa Calida – the warm coast, forever bathed in sunshine – where we find festivals, fiestas and fine food.

We plunge into Puglia, the newly beguiling heel of Italy’s boot, to find Lecce’s baroque churches and palazzos, the Trulli rising in terraces in UNESCO protected Alberobello, the stunning seascape in Salento, and food, oh such glorious food.

Across to the Dalmatian Coast, where glittering Hvar,Croatia’s Lavender Island, is the Saint Tropez of this east Riviera. A cobblestone haven of stylish boutiques, bars and tavernas. Homespun charm comes on Rab, one of a clutch of islands in Kvarner Bay known for their beautiful clear water and lunar landscapes stripped bare by the bora. Ravenna means dazzling mosaics and Dante’s mausoleum, but also seek the historic food market for Italian delicacies, eaten whilst wandering the shady plazas before drifting into la Serenissima’s lagoon at sunrise.

Fantasies of Byzantium come alive on a stunning odyssey that traces the wrinkled western contours of Greece to the crossroads of Asia Minor. Climb mythical landscapes in Volos where monasteries tetter atop rocky promontories, then find the divine in Thessaloniki which sits in the long shadow of Mount Olympus. In the lush light of dawn, Kavala glows like an amphitheatre rising from the sea where the Imaret Mohammed was born, and Apostle Paul once preached at nearby Philippi. Your overnight in Istanbul creates the ultimate playground for pure escapism wandering through the Grand Bazaar and seeing the candle-like spires of the Blue Mosque aglow in moonlight. Feel the centuries melt away in Heraklion as you step into the past of Knossos where the Minoans traded gold and saffron. Then marvel at Monemvasia, the “Gibraltar of Greece”.

OUR RED SEA, ARABIAN PENINSULA & INDIA JOURNEYS

ARABIAN PENINSULA & INDIA

A balancing act between old and new, as timehonoured traditions underline youthful vision, focused on the future: new stories in the making. Today, travellers find a warm welcome wherever they wander, from the humblest majlis on the edge of the desert to incense-perfumed souqs and grand palace ballrooms.

India, with its hillsides a patchwork of greenery, is where wildlife rules the realm. The desert expanse of Rajasthan in the north paints a different picture, wild and undiscovered. Only the Bedouin know the secrets of the Rub’ al Khali — the Empty Quarter — which covers much of Arabia, ancestor of the beaches that line its sickle-shaped coasts.

TWO DISTINCT WORLDS, UNITED

BY THE PLENTIFUL WATERS OF THE ARABIAN SEA

Delve into the oldest cultures of the Middle East and South Asia. Resplendent palaces and otherworldly temples are the lasting legacy of the Mughals and Maharajas who ruled ancient India. Europeans’ taste for exotic spices enriched the ports that line its coast.

Across the Arabian Sea, caravans traced the Incense Route for hundreds of years, building great cities into scorched desert mountains. Legacies live on in UNESCO sites of Egypt and the temple-worshipped sites of Israel.

Parched deserts and CRAGGY mountains give way to STEAMING jungles and lush landscapes as you travel east, a heartfelt WELCOME guaranteed wherever you rest.

Imagine the resplendence of Egyptian pharaohs as we amble awestruck around the mighty Nile-side temples of Luxor and Karnak, enchanted by tales of gods and treasures in the ancient city of Thebes. The Red Sea carries us to the historical gem of Al Wajh where wonders await in the UNESCO sanctuary of Hegra that rises from an otherworldly desert landscape and cradles 111 monumental tombs etched into rocky outcrops by the forgotten hands of the Nabatean civilisation.

Silk Route ships laden with exotic spices and textiles once jostled for space in Muscat harbour, where the heady scent of incense wafts through a city of stunning architectural symmetry and soaring alabaster arches and mosques.

Search for a deeper meaning of life in Aqaba when you venture to Petra to stand shocked before the masonry of the Treasury. In Sharm-el-Sheikh, glaze upon the ground where God appeared to Moses.

DURBAN TO CAPE TOWN

15 FEBRUARY – 1 MARCH 2025

14 NIGHTS

Embarkation/disembarkation ports

From the quiet calm of game-filled savannahs to the spectacle of a lioness and her cubs lounging in trees, discover for yourself how Stanley and Livingston felt when they first gazed upon cavernous valleys and animals as far as the eye can see. Departing Durban, you nudge north to Mozambique and its 2,500km of coastline. Share turquoise waters with single-sail dhows and whale sharks, passing unspoiled islands and underwater kingdoms of coral enroute to the colonial capital Maputo and beguilingly remote Panene peninsula.

Richards Bay and Zululand brings extraordinary birdlife and silhouettes of graceful giraffes poised against a hugeSouth African sun. The spectacle of an elephant heard thundering across a wide savanna, Pumba’s white lions and the largest colony of African penguins all just beyond Port Elizabeth. We trace the Garden’s Route’s lush forests and lagoons to Plettenburg Bay’s white-sand beaches and buzzing bars, arriving in Cape Town, its V&A Waterfront, Robben Island, and glorious galleries, and storied winelands all within reach.

A JOURNEY TO AFRICA’S GARDENS OF EDEN

CAPE TOWN TO MOMBASA

1 MARCH – 14 MARCH 2025

Embarkation/disembarkation ports

Cape Town is South Africa’s beating heart of cultural cool and your beguiling basecamp from where you wind across wine country to Stellenbosch and Franschhoek or the Cape of Good Hope, described by sea captain Sir Francis Drake as the fairest cape he saw in the whole circumference of the earth. Tracing the famed Garden Route along the coast between Mossel Bay and Port Elizabeth we alight to explore forested trails alive with birdsong, golden beaches and the hidden network of Precambrian Cango Caves.

Durban’s Garden Province holds promise for the majestic Big Five, Karen Blixen’s words echoing in our ears – “There is something about safari life that makes you bubble over with heartfelt gratitude for being alive” – the Kruger being one of Africa’s best places to see wildlife. Onwards to Mozambique’s white-sand beaches and walls of coral, Zanzibar’s Spice Island and Mombasa, our gateway to Kenya’s majestic Masai Mara.

Exhilaration twines with relaxation in this exploration of cultures and cuisine ensconced in tropical paradise heaving with wildlife. An overnight in shimmering Mombasa allows a safari one day, and another to soak up the sun, dive to breath-taking coral reefs, and be charms of the famously friendly Swahili culture. Cast away to tiny La Dique, possibly the most beautiful island in the Seychelles where fantastical, blush-pink granite boulders dot the beaches. On Mahé, learn to captain a catamaran or venture into a lush rainforest. Our overnight allows time to discover charming villages, sample freshly picked fruits from little roadside tables, swim, snorkel and sip spiced rum. In Malalah, the UNESCO-celebrated Land of Frankincense, ramble along mountain passes fringed with the famous trees where goats and gazelle graze. A thriving wall of coral connects us to UNESCO-designated, ancient Jeddah with its distinctive red balconies, a major trade hub and gateway for pilgrims to Makkah (Mecca). Vital today as Saudi Arabia’s buzzy art capital.

Slip the surly bonds of sunset and linger longer in a world where near endless sunshine spotlights the audacious and unfathomable. Forge a filigree of fjords on the crumpled coast of Norway, then venture to the rooftop of the world where the Lofoten’s craggy islands leap like dragons out of a frothy mist. You delve deeply into a Viking Valhalla to conquer fast boats, watch waterfalls melt into rainbows, and spy sun-split clouds that float over glaciers slowly shouldering their way to the ocean.

Painted with the silver of a thousand moonbeams and gold from millions of rays of sun, this Grand Journey offers a priceless experience to thread the enormity of the Northern Hemisphere’s New World in the most intimate manner. The West is wilder in our Alaska. Primal, vital, you will feel your heart pound as you stand before colossal glaciers and rivers of jagged ice. Glide along the grandeur of purple mountains, soaring sequoias, and beaches that form a sandy fringe

along the sparkling Pacific, whilst you live the legend with multiple nights in Vancouver and San Francisco. Cinematic coasts captivate us from Los Angeles down the Baja to the Mexican Riviera and Costa Rica. But it is the call of the Caribbean Sea that leads us through the narrow locks of the Panama Canal to Miami. Like European pilgrims, you ply the seas to New York, Boston and Quebec City, where the French New World has reigned for more than 400 years.

DESTINATION EXPERIENCES

DESTINATION EXPERIENCES

Explora Journeys will offer an array of curated pursuits and memorable experiences that perfectly complement our ocean journeys.

Here is just a taster of what our guests can look forward to.

BEYOND BOUNDARIES —

BEYOND BOUNDARIES

Soul-stirring experiences that touch the impossible, from the thrill of supersonic speed to the deepest fathoms of ocean trenches.

Our Beyond Boundaries experiences answer that call where opportunities into the unchartered promise profound and personal enrichment.

Whether you seek the thrill of supersonic speed, the silence of polar mountain peaks, the deepest fathoms of ocean trenches, the sense of awe from meeting world-leading intellects and artisans.

They are soul-stirring achievements that will forever influence your perspective of the world and your role within it.

The only remaining question is how far do you dare to go to close the distance between your dreams and reality?

There is something WITHIN all of us that seeks to touch the IMPOSSIBLE ; to REACH out and FULFIL a transcendent need that resonates DEEP within our being.

THESE EXPERIENCES ARE MORE THAN ONE-OFF WONDERMENTS

ONE OF THE BEYOND BOUNDARIES EXPERIENCES TO LOOK FORWARD TO:

Private pampering on a remote rocky island

Göteborg, Sweden

THE SENSE OF ADVENTURE WASHES OVER YOU

The exclusive rental of Hamneskär Island is one of the most desirable places to visit in all of Scandinavia. A rugged paradise off the west coast of Sweden that’s reachable by private helicopter and RIB boats for your intimate party of two. Wild sea air, chilled champagne, just-shucked oysters,

and dramatic stories of the island’s history fuel your sense of adventure. Enjoy back-to-nature pursuits, a gastronomic table of never-fresher seafood then unplug with a relaxing message in the lighthouse. The ultimate escape for those who wish to experience the luxury of true isolation.

TAILORED EXPERIENCES

The travel equivalent of haute couture, our Tailored Experiences are tailor-made for those who seek truly customised arrangements that are both personal and without compromise.

We are pleased to curate your requests for singular, customised arrangements that can be as off-the-beaten-path or utterly indulgent as you wish. Whether yours is an intimate group of two or a larger gathering of family and friends, we can help you adapt a featured destination experience or totally tailor an arrangement that delivers exactly where and what you prefer.

WE ALSO EXTEND OUR PRIVATE CAR AND DRIVER PROGRAMME FOR GUESTS WISHING TO DESIGN THEIR OWN ITINERARY.

This programme provides the utmost in PRIVACY and flexibility with an appropriately sized luxury vehicle to ACCOMMODATE your group for either half or full-day schedules.

ONE OF THE TAILORED EXPERIENCES TO LOOK FORWARD TO:

Adrift on your dream of a private yacht

TROPICAL TIDES CARRY YOU ALONGSIDE BREATH-TAKING SHORES

Anchor off deserted islands where yours are the only footprints, or dive into crystal clear lagoons known only to the most seasoned sailors. When your dream of distant shores includes a private boat or yacht tour, Explora Journeys can connect you with a captain and crew

able to deliver all your desires. From plush towels and snorkel gear, chef-driven meals, and perfectly chilled champagne with corks popped precisely at sunset, we can help you navigate an adventure for just with you, or with others if you prefer.

IN-COUNTRY IMMERSION EXPERIENCES TO LOOK FORWARD:

A polar ice cap, musk ox and luxury camping Greenland

CAMPING ON THE WORLD’S LARGEST POLAR ICE

No matter how well travelled you are, it’s difficult to wrap your mind around the experience of camping on the world’s largest polar ice cap, where vibrant blue ice colours are surreal. Welcome to the wild and wonderful world of Greenland’s hinterland. Two-thirds of Greenland lies above the Arctic Circle and for five glorious days you will too. Under 24 hours of sunlight, we ice climb on glaciers, hop

in helicopters to view vast vistas of white at the edge of the ice cap, climb into snow trucks in search of herds of shaggy musk ox grazing on the tundra, and camp outside a remote radar station in off-grid, eco-luxury lodging tents that are environmentally light-on-the-ice yet wonderfully warm and welcoming. Immense landscapes experienced in the most intimate terms.
