Review
Cruise Express Managing Director, Meg Hill, recently travelled from Venice to Athens aboard Explora Journeys aboard Explora I, sister ship to Explora II. She has returned with terrific experiences and fond memories.
These ships offer a more thoughtful way to experience ocean travel. With their relaxed, boutique-hotel feel, the ships are designed for travellers who prefer quiet luxury and slower, more immersive journeys. All suites have ocean views and private terraces, and a strong focus on well-being, good food, and meaningful shore experiences.
