It’s never too early to start thinking about holiday travel. Especially at sea. Explora Journeys, a subsidiary of the MSC Group, has two cruises, on two different ships, with two different holiday itineraries aboard EXPLORA I and EXPLORA II.
To celebrate, EXPLORA I sails from December 23-30 2024, starting in Miami and visiting San Juan (Puerto Rico), Road Bay (Anguilla), Roseau (Dominica), Castries (St. Lucia), and Bridgetown (Barbados).
Meanwhile, EXPLORA II sets sail from December 20-27, 2024, with stops in Road Bay, Pointe-a-Pitre (Guadeloupe), Jost van Dyke (British Virgin Islands), and Marigot (St. Martin) before concluding in San Juan.
As the New Year approaches, EXPLORA I departs from Bridgetown on December 30, 2024, celebrating New Year’s Eve in St. George’s (Grenada), before visiting Kralendijk (Bonaire), Willemstad (Curacao), and Oranjestad (Aruba), ending in Miami on January 7, 2025.
EXPLORA II will begin her New Year journey on December 27, 2024, in San Juan, featuring stops in Charlotte Amalie (U.S. Virgin Islands), St. John’s (Antigua), and Basseterre (St. Kitts and Nevis), with New Year’s Eve fireworks in San Juan and concluding in Miami on January 5, 2025.
On Explora Journeys holiday Itineraries, guests can enjoy gingerbread houses and a range of seasonal treats. Special holiday entertainment includes choirs, carols, parades and more.
After fireworks, guests are invited to dance the night away at the New Year’s Eve gala.
And we haven’t even talked about Thanksgiving yet.
Guests are invited to celebrate Thanksgiving amidst the azure waters of the Mediterranean on EXPLORA I or along the beaches of the Caribbean on EXPLORA II. The experience offers authentic Thanksgiving menus, featuring oven-roasted Bourbon Red Tom turkey, a ship-wide scavenger hunt, and workshops to create Thanksgiving-themed decorations.
EXPLORA I will begin her Thanksgiving journey on November 20, 2024, in Barcelona, featuring stops in Alicante (Spain), Motril (Spain), Tangier (Morocco), and Lisbon (Portugal), with a visit to Málaga (Spain) before returning to Barcelona on November 29, 2024.
EXPLORA II departs from Miami on November 22, 2024, and invites guests to visit Road Bay, Roseau, and Basse-Terre (Guadeloupe), concluding in San Juan on November 29, 2024.
