Maybe The Growth Opportunity For Your Business Is Now

Explora Journeys

Since the launch of Explora Journeys as a concept, before any of our award-winning ships were built, we have put Travel Advisors at the centre of our business.  

That commitment is evident in our industry-leading policies, support, tools, and team: 

  • Handsome commissions, tailor-made by market 

  • No non-commissionable fares (NCFs) 

  • Commissions paid on add-ons 

  • Flexible change-of-plans policies 

  • Commission protection on cancellation penalties 

  • Industry-leading Travel Advisor Centre 

Now, on the eve of the launch of our third ship,  Explora Journeys is poised to connect you with millions of high-value travelers who still only book luxury hotels and resorts. 

In fact, ocean travel represents less than 3% of global international trips, and of that, luxury cruise is a small niche with around 1.5 million travelers.  

Our ships are positioned as luxury hotels whose address is the ocean — destinations in themselves, not just transport. This shift challenges the cruise industry’s long‑standing assumption that only those who have cruised before, will cruise in the future. 

Maybe your best commission will come through bookings made because of a whole new way of looking at luxury travel — where the best hotel isn’t a hotel at all. 

Our industry-leading policies like handsome commissions with no NCFs, and tools to make your job easier: 

  • Short Journeys – itineraries from just 3 days are ideal for an introduction to ocean travel, perfect for cruise-curious (or Explora-Journeys-curious) clients 

  • New distinctive visuals and videos available for download from the Marketing Suite on the Explora Travel Advisor Centre 

  • Easy-to-share digital tools like co-branded marketing assets, including social media posts and co-brandable websites (can also integrate with your agency’s advisor platform) 

  • New e-learning content and new-to-cruise sales guide to help you master the art of conveying Explora Journeys’ unique selling points, upselling suite categories, and maximizing your commission 

Maybe, with Explora Journeys, you can invite your new-to-cruise clients to reconsider familiar luxury ideas like fixed addresses and rigid schedules — and imagine something more fluid and expansive. 

Maybe, this highly sophisticated audience who already understand luxury, but are seeking something that feels more personal, more considered, and more emotionally rewarding —  something exactly like the Ocean State of Mind —  will lead you to your best commission.

Important Update on Middle East Journeys

At present, all itineraries in the Middle East, starting with EXPLORA II in December 2026, remain as scheduled. However, we wanted to take this opportunity to share a brief update. As a brand that places great value on the care and confidence of both our guests and our travel advisor partners, we are introducing an additional measure of flexibility. As an exception, we are extending the cancellation period for all our Middle East Journeys by an additional 45 days*. This means your clients will have a further 45 days beyond the original deadline to review and consider their plans with complete flexibility.
