Explora Journeys has released a selection of experiences around the Mediterranean from onboard its luxury vessel, EXPLORA I.
Destinations include Ibiza in Spain, Calvi in Corsica, France and Kastellorizo in Greece.
At every destination, Explora Journeys will provide opportunities for guests to discover authentic Mediterranean cultural, historical, and culinary delights from an extraordinary perspective.
Experiences are tailored to small, intimate groups, from 2 to 25 guests with an emphasis on exclusive, off-the-beaten-track encounters.
Michael Ungerer, the Chief Executive Officer, Explora Journeys, commented, “The ingenuity of the bespoke destination experiences created by Explora Journeys is set to surpass expectations, leading our guests on a journey of self, social and active discovery, fulfilment, and enrichment, easing them into an Ocean State of Mind.
“Explora Journeys is committed to delivering inspiring and sustainable tourism as we strive to leave a positive footprint for the next generation.”
Destination experiences are categorised into five different interest types to help curate the ultimate tailored adventure.
Beyond Boundaries: Once-in-a-lifetime experiences for active travellers who enjoy pushing boundaries and challenging their views of the world. For example, a private tour to world-renowned Premier Grand Cru Classé Château Margaux, a legendary estate north of Bordeaux, France, and its cellars.
Tailored Experiences: Highly exclusive experiences customised for those who value rarity. Guests can embark on a helicopter adventure with aerial views of the Médoc peninsula in France, enjoy swimming and snorkelling on a private trip around the Maltese islands or explore Lisbon, Portugal, on a tuk tuk.
Enchanting Explorations: For exclusive moments that are off limits to most. Connect with nature through forest therapy near Porto, Portugal, yoga flow at dusk in Ibiza, Spain or drive a classic Citroen 2CV through the country lanes of Normandy/France, attend a very exclusive visit to the Pope`s summer residence in Castel Gandolfo or a private cocktail party at the National Palace and Gardens of Queluz, on the Portuguese Riviera.
Boundless Discoveries: Experiences include hidden wonders and VIP access. There are chances to learn from the locals, with an intimate flamenco masterclass in Cadiz, Spain, or a photography class in Mykonos, Greece. Guests can enjoy a scenic hike into history at Notre Dame de la Serra in Calvi, Corsica, France, or handpick, brew and bottle Balearic healing herbs in Ibiza, Spain.
In-Country Immersions: Designed as multi-day overland experiences with luxury accommodation before or after sailing, these are opportunities for guests to delve deeper into the culture of the countries they visit in intimately sized groups.
Sacha Rougier, Head of Itinerary Planning and Destination Experience, Explora Journeys said, “Blending luxury and adventure, Explora Journeys will ensure a one-of-a-kind experience.
“Enriching and exhilarating – Explora Journeys connect travellers with the unique destination experiences of a lifetime, and we look forward to offering these authentic, immersive, and transformative experiences to our guests.”
