Explora Journeys, the luxury lifestyle ocean travel brand of MSC Group, and shipbuilder Fincantieri announced a joint decision to set a new date for the delivery of EXPLORA II. After careful review, it was decided that more time is needed for the final finishes to the ship to guarantee the highest quality luxury standards.
EXPLORA II will be delivered on 12 September 2024 and the maiden journey of the new vessel will take place on 16 September 2024 departing from Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy with a 7-night journey to Sorrento, the island of Lipari, Trapani and Siracusa in Sicily, Valletta in Malta and Tarragona, Spain. Journeys start at 7 nights and can be extended to 14 or 21 nights with all departures from easily accessible ports such as Civitavecchia, Italy and Barcelona in Spain, while avoiding repetitions of ports during the combinable voyages.
Explora Journeys is contacting guests booked on the voyages affected, either directly or through travel agents, to arrange an alternative journey on EXPLORA II or sister ship, EXPLORA I which is also sailing in the Mediterranean Sea.
