Joining two existing programmes, the initiative is designed to expand travel opportunities for extended families and friendship groups.
Fuelled by collaboration with its trade community, Explora Journeys is building on its 'Journey Together' and 'Journey Together+' programmes, making planning and payment of family and friendship group bookings more seamless for ocean travellers.
When booking a minimum of three suites/maximum of four, with one suite an Ocean Penthouse or Ocean Residence, groups can enjoy the space together as a private social hub, ideal for multi-generational family or friend gatherings.
Travellers can benefit from one under-18 in each suite sailing for free, as well as complimentary transfers to the ship for all guests booked on the programme.
The programme is headed up by the new Charter and Journey Together lead, Cindi Occhuuizzo, utilising her 30 years experience in the luxury sector. Cindi is supported by the newly-appointed Journey Together and Charter Operations Expert, Vilma Moutsatsos.
Chris Austin, chief sales officer of Explora Journeys, said: “I am delighted to welcome Cindi and Vilma to our global charters and incentives team and I know they will be great assets for us in this important market. They will work closely with the MICE market as we roll out our Journey Together programmes to our luxury travellers.
"Designing our Journey Together Gatherings programme has been a highly collaborative process with the travel advisor community. We are proud to launch this programme targeting gatherings of friends and multi-generational families.”
