Explora Journeys, the luxury ocean travel brand of the MSC Group, has opened reservations for its  Inaugural World Journey, setting sail on January 6, 2029. 

‘Endless Worlds’ will carry cruisers on a 128-day journey aboard EXPLORA I, spanning four continents and 63 unique destinations with overnight stays in 12 destinations. The voyage will be defined by 44 maiden calls visiting destinations and regions new to Explora Journeys — from the Indian Ocean, Australia and New Zealand to the waters of the South Pacific and Peru.

Explora I will visit 44 maiden ports on its first world cruise.

The brand has introduced three distinct Journey duration options within Endless Worlds, giving flexibility on disembarkation ports. Guests may choose the full 128-day World Journey from Dubai to Barcelona (January 6 – May 14, 2029), or opt for two slightly shortened versions with the same departure date: a 112-day World Journey concluding in New York City on April 28, 2029 and a 108-day World Journey ending in Miami on April 24, 2029.

“Endless Worlds is an invitation to experience the world as one uninterrupted story — a journey that unfolds gradually, gracefully and with an emphasis on continuity,” said Anna Nash, President of ExploraJ ourneys.

“In opening sales, we are inviting our guests to secure their place on a rare voyage designed around the true luxury of time. Each Journey option reflects the signature values of Explora Journeys: unhurried discovery, cultural curiosity, intuitive service and a profound connection to the sea.”

Exclusive World Journey enhancements include international Business Class flights, a one-night pre-journey hotel stay in Dubai, private door-to-door transfers & luggage service, visa & travel document assistance, up to 1,000 USD/EUR Journey Experience Credit per person and three exclusive celebratory events ashore.
