Explora Journeys’ flagship has departed on her seven-night maiden journey to Reykjavik following a celebration in Copenhagen yesterday.
EXPLORA I set sail on August 1st for her inaugural voyage to Iceland, with en-route visits to Lerwick, the Shetland Islands and Kirkwall, Orkney. This journey is the first in a series of itineraries which will span across three continents.
The voyage through northern Europe has been designed to emphasise the brand’s ‘Ocean State of Mind’ by offering guests the chance immersive themselves in physical, intellectual and spiritual experiences. Some of the activities include kayaking along Copenhagen’s waterways, discovering the history of Shetland through its horses and an overnight stay on Iceland to explore the soul-enriching sites inside the Golden Circle.
CEO of Explora Journeys, Michael Ungerer, said: “It is an absolute honour to welcome the very first guests onboard our extraordinary ship and share this special moment with them as we embark on the maiden journey of EXPLORA I from Copenhagen. Our guests will be able to experience the very best European hospitality at sea and our vibrant, cosmopolitan sense of luxury, while discovering some of the world’s most remarkable destinations.
“A new era of transformative luxury ocean travel begins now with the first sailing of EXPLORA I.”
The luxury ship will spend several weeks in northern Europe before crossing the Atlantic to spend the winter in North America and the Caribbean before returning to Europe for her Summer 2024 itineraries.
