Ahead of the consumer launch on 20th November 2024, travel advisors will have early access to The Exclusive Sale between 13th and 20th November 2024 as part of the pre-sale.
Past guests will also receive early access and are encouraged to book via their preferred travel partner.

Travellers who book by 4th December 2024 will have the chance to save up to 50% on selected journeys, with a reduced deposit of only 5%.
Antonio Paradiso, Vice President of International Sales, MSC Group Cruise Division said: “Explora Journeys’ ‘The Exclusive Sale’ taps into the Black Friday trend that Travel Advisors have come to expect.
“Our enticing incentive of up to 50% saving enables cruise specialist advisors and those who traditionally sell luxury land offerings to attract a new to cruise audience at an attractive rate, whilst rewarding the avid cruiser at a reduced price too.
“We are thrilled to offer a pre-sale for our travel partners to reward them for their ongoing commitment to our brand”.
This exceptional offer invites guests to experience the sophistication and comfort of their “Home at Sea” while exploring a blend of destinations across the Caribbean and Mediterranean.
Available for bookings made between 20th November and 4th December 2024, the offer applies to all suite categories on journeys departing from 29th November 2024 onwards.
Each journey is crafted to evoke the elegance of a private yacht, complete with exquisite culinary experiences, ocean-inspired wellness, and enriching activities.
Winter in the Caribbean
Paradiso added, “As a young, agile brand that appeals to luxury land guests who often book at short notice, we expect to see a Q4 surge in Caribbean journeys amongst UK and Irish travellers, looking to sail in Q1 2025, making the most of our limited time only savings”.
EXPLORA I and EXPLORA II will visit destinations such as San Juan (Puerto Rico), the British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Anguilla, and Aruba, among others.
Both ships will also offer special festive sailings. From 23rd to 30th December 2024, EXPLORA I will visit Miami, San Juan, and Barbados, while EXPLORA II sails from 20th to 27th December, calling at Anguilla, Guadeloupe, and St. Martin.
Each ship will be transformed into a holiday wonderland, with festive decorations, seasonal treats, and joyful entertainment, including choirs, carols, and a Santa meet-and-greet.
For New Year’s, both ships will host glamorous galas and the chance to view spectacular fireworks displays to ring in 2025.
Whether unwinding on pristine beaches or immersing in local culture, the Caribbean aboard EXPLORA I and EXPLORA II promises a luxurious and unforgettable winter escape.
