May saw a new chapter in ocean discovery begin, with the release of the 2027 Journeys Collection from Explora Journeys, as An Ocean of New invites guests to embrace new paths of exploration.
The collection, sailing from March to November 2027, sees the launch of their newest ship, the highly anticipated EXPLORA IV. Redefining the essence of ultra-elegant ocean travel, her inaugural journeys will draw new maps along treasured coastlines, from the dramatic landscapes of Northern Europe and the Baltic Sea to the captivating beauty of Iceland and Greenland and the vibrant shores of North America’s East Coast and New England.
In another first, guests can discover Alaska as never before — where refined ultra-elegance meets the true spirit of exploration. EXPLORA III, first setting sail in summer 2026, awakens new horizons charting a bold course to Alaska’s untamed wilds, from towering glaciers and fascinating wildlife to frontier towns, delivering soul-stirring encounters in nature as her guests embrace a slower, more immersive way of travel.
Meanwhile, EXPLORA I and EXPLORA II will create fresh memories in the Mediterranean, on a curated collection of journeys celebrating its enduring allure while embracing the contrasts of East and West, tracing storied coastlines and revealing both charismatic cities and lesser-travelled destinations.
Thoughtfully crafted, each journey invites deeper immersion at a slower pace — to savour golden hours that feel timeless.
Onboard, guests will indulge in award-winning hospitality, where spacious oceanfront suites, penthouses, and residences offer sanctuary at sea. From unforgettable dining to transformative wellness experiences, every detail is designed to inspire a profound connection to the sea, as they discover the true joys of the Ocean State of Mind.
Introducing EXPLORA IV: A new chapter unfolds with the arrival of EXPLORA IV – the next expression of Explora Journeys’ commitment to reimagining ultra-elegant ocean travel, making her debut in Summer 2027.
A sanctuary of space and serenity, EXPLORA IV is designed to invite guests into a deeper connection with themselves, the ocean, and the world around them.
On board, guests will immerse into refined, modern elegance and sophistication where space, calm, and time to reconnect come naturally. The ocean-front suites, penthouses, and residences are bathed in natural light, offering effortless comfort and a true sense of home.
From elevated culinary journeys to a holistic approach to wellbeing, every element is crafted to deepen connection – to the self, to the sea, and to the soothing spirit of the Ocean State of Mind.
EXPLORA IV is the latest LNG-powered ship in the Explora Journeys fleet, reflecting their continued commitment to decarbonising our marine operations and reducing environmental impact.
