Stone Cities & Shimmering Waters (7 nights)
This Mediterranean voyage typically calls at destinations such as Valletta in Malta, the whitewashed islands of Greece, medieval Kotor in Montenegro, historic coastal towns in Croatia like Dubrovnik, and elegant Italian ports such as Bari or Naples. Cruising this region with Explora Journeys is ideal because the ports are relatively close together, allowing you to experience multiple cultures, cuisines and historic “stone cities” in one relaxed journey. Scenic sail-ins, long waterfront promenades and atmospheric old towns are highlights throughout the voyage.
​
Best time to visit: May–June and September offer warm sunshine, fewer crowds and pleasant temperatures for sightseeing around the Mediterranean’s historic ports.
Nordic Discoveries & Geothermal Wonders (8 nights)
This Northern Europe journey usually sails from Southampton to Iceland, visiting dramatic ports such as Reykjavik, Isafjordur and Akureyri. Cruising with Explora Journeys is perfect here because many of Iceland’s most striking landscapes – fjords, volcanic coastlines and remote fishing villages – are best reached by sea. Guests can experience thundering waterfalls, geothermal lagoons and vast lava fields while enjoying spectacular scenic sailing along the rugged North Atlantic coastline. The slower pace allows time to fully appreciate Iceland’s wild beauty.
Best time to visit: June–August offers long daylight hours and milder temperatures, ideal for exploring Iceland’s dramatic landscapes and wildlife.
Glittering Horizons to Island Serenity (9 nights)
This Asian voyage typically sails from vibrant Hong Kong to ports across Japan such as Nagasaki, Kagoshima and Osaka or Tokyo. Cruising this route with Explora Journeys blends dynamic Asian cities with serene coastal landscapes, from neon-lit skylines to tranquil temples and hot-spring towns. Sailing between ports also offers ever-changing views of island-studded seas and volcanic coastlines, creating a smooth transition between cultures and regions that would be harder to experience in a single land journey.
Best time to visit: March–May for cherry blossom season or October–November for crisp autumn colours and comfortable sightseeing weather.
