Introducing A Mediterranean Prelude to EXPLORA III — We are delighted to announce the early delivery of our newest ship, EXPLORA III, which enables us to offer an exclusive new Journey to your clients ahead of her Naming Ceremony and Maiden Journey.

Reservations are now open for A Mediterranean Prelude to EXPLORA III, departing from Genoa, Italy on 24 July 2026. The Maiden Journey of EXPLORA III will still set sail on 3 August 2026 from Barcelona, Spain.

This rare opportunity allows your clients to be among the very first to experience EXPLORA III’s signature blend of European luxury and immersive discovery, setting sail before her Inaugural Journeys begin.

The exclusive five-night Journey sets sail from Genoa, unveiling the timeless glamour of the French Riviera, from the vibrant culture of Marseille and the sun-soaked allure of Saint-Tropez to the elegant charm of Villefranche-sur-Mer, where the beauty of Nice and the Côte d’Azur awaits. The ship then returns to Civitavecchia, Italy - the perfect gateway to explore the art, history, and eternal spirit of Rome.
