About this Experience
Explora Journeys represents a new chapter in luxury ocean travel - a brand conceived from first principles to deliver an experience that is genuinely unlike anything that has come before. Explora II is the embodiment of that vision: a vessel of extraordinary beauty, carrying just 922 guests across 461 ocean -front suites, with nineteen restaurants and lounges, four swimming pools, and a wellness sanctuary of exceptional depth. This ten-night roundtrip from Athens traces one of the Mediterranean’s most storied routes - the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean at their most captivating. From Bodrum’s whitewashed charm and Marmaris’ vibrant bazaars to Limassol’s medieval legacy, Antalya’s turquoise bay, and Heraklion’s gateway to Minoan Crete. Milos’ volcanic cliffs and Nafplio’s romantic elegance complete an itinerary of remarkable variety before the return to Athens. Autumn in the Aegean is a revelation - the summer crowds have departed, the light is extraordinary, and the sea remains warm. Explora II experiences it at its finest.
