Discover European Elegance


Explora Journeys stands out because they reimagined what it feels like to travel by sea. Instead of a traditional cruise, they’ve created something that feels more like an ultra-luxury resort that just happens to move with you. 

Every detail is about space: there are only 461 suites, each with a private, oceanfront terrace. EXPLORA II provides freedom and choice with bespoke restaurants, relaxing bars, and intimate lounges — so your time on board feels every bit as transformative as the destinations visited.

Journey Summary
Athens > Paros > Rhodes > Corfu > Hvar > Rijeka > Venice

Starting with the dramatic scenery of Athens, where ancient temples create a timeless backdrop to the dynamic city, we drift to the powder-gold sands and sweet villages of Paros. 


In Rhodes, surround yourself in past times and mythology as you wander the stone paths, then absorb the olive-dotted landscapes of Corfu and lavender-scented hills of Hvar. 


Then into Rijeka to admire Croatia’s architectural splendor, and round off your adventure among the romantic canals and enchanting piazzas of Venice.
