Explora Journeys Announces Preview EXPLORA III Sailing for Select Guests

Explora Journeys has announced an exclusive opportunity for select guests to be the very first to experience EXPLORA III ahead of her official launch and Maiden Journey next year.

A Mediterranean Prelude to EXPLORA III will depart from Genoa on July 24, 2026 and conclude in Civitavecchia (Rome) on July 29. Designed as an intimate and immersive behind-the-scenes preview, this one-time Journey is an invitation to discover the elegance and innovation of EXPLORA III, the first LNG-powered ship in Explora Journeys’ fleet before she is introduced to the wider world during her inaugural Journey from Barcelona to Lisbon, 3rd to 10th August 2026.

Guests onboard will also have the opportunity to meet Explora Journeys’ leadership team, designers and officers – the individuals whose vision and expertise have shaped every element of the ship.

“This exclusive preview Journey is our way of honouring those who have grown with us and believed in our vision from the beginning,” said Anna Nash, President of Explora Journeys. 

“It’s an intimate celebration of what’s to come – a chance to step aboard EXPLORA III before her official debut, connect with the visionaries who brought her to life and discover how our Ocean State of Mind philosophy continues to evolve with every new chapter.”
