The Caribbean: serene turquoise waters and pristine beaches away from the hustle and bustle of our monotonous lifestyle.
Explora Journeys is making ‘dream cruise’ a reality with its Caribbean Season.
From mid-October 2026 through March 2027, Explora Journeys’ upcoming Caribbean season brings this diversity to life across two ships. It combines the elevated service, spaciousness and experiences of the region’s most refined resorts with the freedom to discover multiple destinations with ease; no unpacking, repacking or complicated logistics.
From celebrated shores such as Saint Barthélemy, Saint Lucia and the British Virgin Islands to lesser-known destinations, each Journey reveals a different facet of the Caribbean, bringing together its varied landscapes, cultures and coastal character.
Anna Nash, President of Explora Journeys, believes there is no single Caribbean.
“It is a collection of different worlds, each with its own character, traditions and natural beauty. Our approach is to bring these worlds together in one smooth Journey – giving our guests the elevated service, space and experiences they expect from an exceptional Caribbean resort, while allowing them to discover multiple sought-after destinations such as Saint Barthélemy, Saint Lucia and the British Virgin Islands. This is the Ocean State of Mind: the freedom to experience more, effortlessly.”

Experience Caribbean with Explora Journeys
Explora Journeys’ immersive Destination Experiences reveal the natural wonders, rich chracter and dramatic coastlines that define this part of the world.
Guests can discover the British Virgin Islands and swim through the sea pools and giant granite boulders of The Baths on Virgin Gorda, witness humpback whales in their ancient breeding grounds in Samana Bay, trek through primordial rainforest to hidden waterfalls in Dominica, or powerboat along Grenada’s coastline to snorkel among the wonders of the Underwater Sculpture Park.
Life onboard reflects the spirit of this part of the world, with culinary creations drawing inspiration from fresh seafood, sun-ripened produce and the spices and flavours of the Caribbean.
Guests might move from a leisurely lunch overlooking the ocean to an afternoon by the pool, a wellness treatment or a quiet moment on their private terrace, before coming together for dinner as the next coast reveals itself over the horizon.
With thoughtful inclusions and no fixed dining times, each day can take its own shape – whether that means exploring ashore, lingering over a meal, or simply enjoying the ocean around them.
EXPLORA I departs Miami on November 17 to begin her Caribbean sailings, following her transatlantic Journey from Barcelona.
And the newly launched EXPLORA III makes her debut in the region, departing Québec City on October 15 and sailing south down the Atlantic seaboard to reach San Juan, Puerto Rico on November 1.
Both ships pair oceanfront suites, sunlit decks and open-air living with intuitive hospitality and signature inclusions, creating a seamless transition between days ashore and time at sea, as each new horizon brings another side of the Caribbean into view.
