Marking the inaugural season of EXPLORA VI, the brand opens its most expansive collection to date with all six ships now available for reservation

Explora Journeys has opened sales for its Summer 2028 Journeys Collection, a milestone season defined by the arrival of EXPLORA VI. Her August 2028  debut brings the fleet to its full six-ship scale, realising the brand’s original vision as planned at its inception.  The new collection, spanning 178 destinations across 27 countries, represents a significant expansion of the brand’s global presence, with all six ships sailing the world’s oceans together for the first time.  Iconic city overnights are balanced with several maiden calls,  while in many ports late departures allow guests to experience the evolving energy from day to night.

“This new Journeys Collection is a celebration of all that Explora Journeys stands for, fulfilling our long-held vision of six ships sailing the world’s oceans by 2028,” said Anna Nash, President of Explora Journeys. “The completion of our fleet allows us to offer  greater geographic breadth and deeper immersion into regions, providing guests with an unparalleled choice of ocean journeys .”     Explorajourneys.com
