Explora Journeys Unveils Exclusive Summer Special

#Traveltradetogether

Explora Journeys, the luxury lifestyle ocean travel brand of the MSC Group, is delighted to announce a limited-time offer for all new bookings made between 23rd June and 15th July 2025. In response to the continued rise in spontaneous travel planning and a growing preference for flexible, short-lead holidays, the Unique Summer Special is designed to inspire discerning travellers to embark on extraordinary ocean journeys with exceptional added value.

Whether seeking a last-minute summer escape or planning a voyage later in the season, guests can enjoy up to $1,000 / €1,000 Journey Experience Credit (JEC) per suite. This exclusive offer invites travellers to discover the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, or the Caribbean— all in the refined comfort and elegance that define Explora Journeys.

The Unique Summer Special is available across all markets and applies to all upcoming journeys aboard Explora Journeys’ ultra-elegant ships. The offer includes:

  • $200 / €200 JEC per person for Ocean Suites
  • $350 / €350 JEC per person for Ocean Penthouses
  • $500 / €500 JEC per person for Ocean Residences

Guests can apply this generous JEC towards enriching curated experiences – from Destination Experiences to spa treatments, fine dining, and exclusive onboard activities.

Anna Nash, Global President Explora Journeys said: “At Explora Journeys, we believe travel is about more than simply reaching a destination — it’s about the meaningful experiences and connections made along the way. As we see a growing trend towards spontaneous travel and last-minute escapes, our Unique Summer Special gives guests the freedom to embrace the moment and create lasting memories. Whether through immersive cultural encounters, restorative wellness rituals, or remarkable culinary moments, each journey offers something truly unforgettable. With our ships designed as destinations in their own right, every moment on board becomes an invitation to discover, unwind, and be inspired.”

With journeys designed to inspire discovery and mindful exploration, Explora Journeys’ fleet offers spacious ocean-front suites, holistic wellness programmes, refined dining, and intuitive service – ensuring each guest’s journey is as unique as their destination.

Highlight journeys this summer season include:

  • A journey through iconic Mediterranean treasures – Civitavecchia (Rome) to Barcelona (1 to 8 September 2025) – A 7-night journey through cultural jewels and sun-kissed coastlines, from the historic streets of Naples to the vibrant markets of Tunis, the authentic charm of Sardinia’s Carloforte, and the elegance of Palma de Mallorca, ending in the cosmopolitan allure of Barcelona.
  • A journey through Adriatic gems and Aegean wonders – Fusina (Venice) to Piraeus (Athens) (9 to 16 August 2025) – A 7-night journey exploring storied cities and island idylls, from the medieval walls of Dubrovnik to the sun-drenched shores of Brindisi, the hidden beauty of Lefkada’s Nydri, and the iconic cliffs of Santorini, concluding in the ancient grandeur of Athens.
