If you’ve been following Gilly’s socials, you’ll know she’s just spent the last 5 nights onboard EXPLORA I experiencing first-hand what this new generation of luxury cruising is all about – you can read all about it here!
She’s now back with real onboard insight, and more importantly, a set of exclusive offers for our clients that will run from today until 22 May 2026 (or whilst availability lasts!). If you’ve been even slightly tempted by Explora Journeys, this is very much the time to take a closer look.
Explora Journeys is not a traditional cruise line. It feels more like a contemporary ultra-luxury boutique hotel at sea – calm, spacious, design-led and deliberately unhurried. Everything onboard is created to make life stress-free, from the flow of the ship to the flexibility of dining and the sense of space throughout.
Across the 5 nights onboard, a few things really stood out. There is a genuine feeling of privacy and openness throughout the ship, with suites that feel more residential than cruise cabin. Dining is high quality and flexible, without rigid structure or formality, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed but refined, with a modern luxury guest mix that feels current rather than traditional. The crew also make a real impact – warm, intuitive, and genuinely engaged in the guest experience, which elevates everything onboard.
Right now, Explora Journeys has released a set of highly attractive combinable offers on selected sailings, plus we have Gilly’s exclusive offers on top – making it the ideal time to book!
An Invitation to Explora (book by 26 May 2026) includes:
- Up to 30% savings on selected journeys
- A reduced 10% deposit
A Spontaneous Summer Invitation (book by 26 May 2026) includes:
- Up to £1,800 per suite discount
On selected voyages, these offers are combinable.
In addition to these, clients booking through us will also receive further exclusive benefits. These include access to the Future Journey Ambassador Desk, a 5% saving on future journeys and up to €300 per suite Journey Experience Credit, valid for up to two weeks after Gilly’s sailing (closes 22 May 2026).
