Explora Journeys has announced its holiday cruise offerings for late 2025, featuring Caribbean itineraries aboard the EXPLORA I and the newly launched EXPLORA II. The theme for this season, “Currents of Connection,” aims to promote thoughtful travel through engaging experiences both onboard and at various destinations.
The program encourages a slow-paced journey, reflecting the natural rhythm of ocean currents, and aims to provide a continuous experience throughout Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. Guests can expect meaningful interactions, seasonal culinary events, and cultural explorations during these voyages.
Onboard, activities will celebrate traditional holidays, feature wellness programs aligning with seasonal mindfulness practices, and offer curated entertainment such as live performances and open-air cinemas. The ships will be festively decorated, and the culinary experiences will include specialty menus and gala dinners that highlight holiday customs.
Cruise itineraries will vary from 7- to 17-night voyages, visiting destinations such as Charlotte Amalie in St. Thomas, Terre-de-Haut in Les Saintes, Bridgetown in Barbados, and Fort-de-France in Martinique, among others. These ports promise a blend of coastal beauty and cultural enrichment, offering options for beach excursions, historical tours, and nature activities like reef kayaking or volcano hikes.
For guests looking to celebrate New Year’s Eve, an option to enjoy fireworks in San Juan, Puerto Rico, will complement the onboard festivities. The company emphasizes that each trip is designed to blend cruising with regional characteristics, aligning with their overarching vision of cultivating an “Ocean State of Mind.”
EXPLORA I and II will operate in the Caribbean during the holiday season, encapsulating the essence of modern luxury cruising with itineraries that prioritize slow travel, cultural immersion, and serene onboard experiences.
