Winter Mediterranean

Following careful consideration, EXPLORA II will operate exclusively in the Mediterranean from November 2026 through March 2027.

The originally planned Middle East itineraries will no longer take place. 
Further details of the Winter Mediterranean itineraries on EXPLORA II in 2026–2027 will be announced by the end of March 2026.

Winter Mediterranean

EXPLORA II will now offer thoughtfully designed itineraries across the Western Mediterranean, blending captivating new escapes, alongside beloved favourites such as Santorini and Capri. Seasonal highlights include Funchal, Casablanca, Ibiza, New Year’s Eve fireworks in Cannes, and festive moments at sea.

 

In winter, the region reveals a quieter, more contemplative beauty, defined by warmth and generosity — from genuine encounters to the gentle winter sun. Freed from the pace of crowds, culinary, cultural, and contemplative moments become deeply personal.
