Luxury travel brand Explora Journeys, part of the MSC Group, has revealed its Winter 2026–2027 Journeys Collection, “An Ocean of New”, running from October 2026 to May 2027. Curated for travelers seeking space, meaningful experiences, and emotional connection, the collection combines iconic destinations with hidden gems, all at a relaxed, immersive pace.

Three Ships, One Vision of Modern Luxury
For Winter 2026–2027, Explora Journeys will deploy three ships across distinct regions:
-
Explora I navigates the Caribbean, Central and South America, including extended Amazon River journeys.
-
Explora II explores the Red Sea and Arabian Peninsula, uncovering ancient civilizations, dramatic deserts, and vibrant cities.
-
Explora III, the newest ship, journeys through the Caribbean and Central America before transiting the Panama Canal to the Pacific Coast.
Journey Highlights
Red Sea & Arabian Peninsula
Departing from Dubai, itineraries span Oman, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan, featuring UNESCO-listed sites, overnight stays, and immersive cultural experiences. Guests will discover historic landmarks, desert landscapes, and modern Gulf cities at a slower, deeper pace.
Slower Travel, Deeper Discovery
The Winter 2026–2027 Collection emphasizes extended stays, overnight port calls, and flexible arrival times, giving travelers more freedom to explore. Small-group, expert-led experiences ensure seamless logistics and a meaningful connection with each destination.
A Home at Sea
Each ship offers a private-yacht feel with all-suite accommodations, expansive decks, wellness areas, and refined dining. Adults-only retreats and family-friendly spaces allow guests to tailor their voyage to personal preferences.
Sustainability Commitment
Explora Journeys leads in sustainable cruising with LNG and hydrogen-powered vessels, reduced underwater noise certification, and partnerships with the MSC Foundation to support ocean conservation and community initiatives.
Availability
The “An Ocean of New” Winter 2026–2027 Collection is now open for booking, with journeys ranging from 7-night itineraries to multi-week explorations.
