The Journey traces the routes of ancient trade, cultural exchange and human connection, crossing the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and offers a “fluid rhythm of discovery” from Dubai’s sunlit coastline, through to its conclusion at Barcelona’s Mediterranean shores.
Endless Worlds also takes Explora Journeys to Australia and New Zealand for the first time, offering a truly global curation of extraordinary ocean travel opportunities.
Anna Nash, President of Explora Journeys, said: “Endless Worlds represents a milestone in the evolution of Explora Journeys. Our Inaugural World Journey embodies our deepest values – boundless exploration, cultural curiosity and a meaningful connection to the ocean.
“It enables our guests to experience the world as an uninterrupted story, told gradually and gracefully, with the time and space to absorb its beauty in full.”
Endless Worlds unfolds through seven distinct Passages, each conceived as a complete Journey with its own narrative, yet woven together, forming a single unbroken story of exploration and discovery.
The Journey originates in Dubai, from its golden horizons to the spice-laden ports of India and the shimmering atolls of the Maldives. EXPLORA I will continue toward Sri Lanka’s spiritual heritage before reaching the energetic capitals of Southeast Asia and the iconic islands of Bali and Komodo.
The Journey then ventures across the vast seas of Oceania, calling at Sydney, with unhurried nights in Cairns, Airlie Beach, Brisbane and Melbourne, before exploring the wild beauty of Tasmania and the dramatic fjords of New Zealand.
Guests will then discover the heart of the Pacific – immersing in the warmth of Fiji, the cultural richness of Tonga and the Cook Islands, the turquoise serenity of French Polynesia, and the enigmatic spirit of Easter Island – a once-in-a-lifetime exploration of the world’s most remote wonders.
Crossing into the Americas, EXPLORA I will transit through the legendary Panama Canal – one of the world’s greatest engineering marvels – continuing along the Pacific coastline through the cultural treasures of Chile and Peru.
Sailing Eastward across the Atlantic, guests will encounter remote island gems, from Bermuda to Faial Island and São Miguel in the Azores, before closing their historic voyage at the welcoming shores of the Mediterranean.
Reservations for Endless Worlds will open early in 2026. For more information, visit explorajourneys.com.
