Explora Journeys has announced details of its Grand Journeys collection of voyages in 2025 and 2026, with itineraries that include several days at sea for slow-paced sailings.
The luxury cruise operator says that its Grand Journeys collection invites discerning guests to embark on voyages that offer the rare opportunity to disconnect from the demands of daily life.
“Our Grand Journeys represent the epitome of transformative ocean travel. These journeys are designed to provide our guests with the ultimate luxury of time, space, and personal discovery, while delivering curated experiences both onboard and ashore,” said Anna Nash, President Explora Journeys.
“At sea, the slower pace invites reflection. Explora Journeys’ Grand Journeys are designed for those who seek not just to see the world but to be transformed by it.”

The itineraries feature lesser-travelled destinations such as the Azores and Madeira, paired with immersive onshore experiences that delve into local cultures.
With more days at sea, guests are invited to indulge in an enhanced culinary program. Highlights include dining at onboard venues such as Anthology, Sakura, and Fil Rouge, as well as new guided tastings of champagne, wine, gin, whisky, and cognac, alongside extended gourmet menus.
Gourmands can also participate in hands-on workshops and fine dining experiences at the Chef’s Kitchen.
New for 2025 are the one-week exclusive Ocean Wellness retreats, offering guests a chance to restore balance with programs such as chakra healing meditation and ocean-inspired gong baths under the stars. The rituals of Ocean Wellness – The Spa combine treatments, fitness, and beauty.
Guests can enjoy an enhanced programme of performances, workshops, and conservation sessions, ranging from live music by local artists to guided arts and crafts workshops.
