Explora Journeys has introduced its first ‘President’s Journey’, set to be hosted by President Anna Nash
The company president will personally host guests aboard EXPLORA II for a Serene Mediterranean voyage built around connection, conversation, and the Ocean State of Mind.
Designed by Anna Nash herself, this personal voyage departs from Barcelona and sails to Tenerife.
Guests on the voyage can range from those new to Explora Journeys, to longstanding guests, all welcomed to experience a trip designed around Anna’s own interests and approach to hospitality.
It features intimate dinners and rare moments ashore, from privileged access to The Convent in Gibraltar to a sunset cocktail at Casablanca’s renowned Royal Mansour.
The sailing will operate from December 9th-16th, 2026, with Anna on board until 15th, and is set within Explora Journey’s A Serene Mediterranean Winter 2026-2027 Journeys Collection.
It offers a more personal perspective on ocean travel, with moments onboard and ashore reflecting Anna’s unique outlook, shaped by more than two decades of experience in the luxury travel industry.
Anna said, “For me, hospitality begins with listening. It is about taking the time to understand what guests value, what inspires them, and what they would like their future Journeys with us to look like.
“This is my first President’s Journey, and I am genuinely looking forward to having this time with our guests – to talk, to listen and to hear their perspectives first-hand.
“My career has largely been shaped outside the cruise industry, which gives me a different perspective on the guest experience and on what luxury hospitality at sea can be. Ultimately, it is these conversations, and the time we spend with our guests, that help us continue to evolve Explora Journeys.”
Explora Club Members will receive dedicated recognition and priority access to selected experiences, alongside a programme of limited-capacity events and invitation-only gatherings spanning destination, wellbeing and culinary experiences.
