We are delighted to announce the early delivery of our newest ship, EXPLORA III, which enables us to offer an exclusive new Journey to your clients ahead of her Naming Ceremony and Maiden Journey.
Reservations are now open for A Mediterranean Prelude to EXPLORA III, departing from Genoa, Italy on 24 July 2026. The Maiden Journey of EXPLORA III will still set sail on 3 August 2026 from Barcelona, Spain.
This rare opportunity allows you to be among the very first to experience EXPLORA III’s signature blend of European luxury and immersive discovery, setting sail before her Inaugural Journeys begin.
This exclusive Journey sets sail from Genoa immersing in the glamour of the French Riviera, pausing in lively Marseille and Saint-Tropez’s sun-soaked allure. In Villefranche-sur-Mer, guests will discover the charm of Nice and the Côte d’Azur before crossing back to Italy to wander through Livorno, gateway to Florence’s Renaissance splendour, ahead of a cultured conclusion in Civitavecchia, where Rome’s ancient wonders and eternal spirit await.
