Explora Journeys has updated the coming into service schedule for EXPLORA I. The luxury cruise line’s first vessel will now depart on her maiden voyage in July 2023.
Explora Journeys has updated the coming into service schedule for EXPLORA I, the first of its six vessels. EXPLORA I was scheduled to take guests on a harmonious mix of both well-known and off the beaten path destinations from May 2023 onwards. EXPLORA I maiden journey will now depart on July 17, 2023 from Southampton.
“From day one, our vision and purpose has been to create a travel and ocean experience like no other. This must be truer than ever with the launch of our brand’s first new and ground-breaking class of ships, Explora I. To achieve this, we are working with one of the world’s foremost ship and super yacht builders to create the best luxury hospitality brand and experience,” said Michael Ungerer, Chief Executive Officer, Explora Journeys.
“However, taking into consideration the challenging situation facing the world today including global supply chain complications we have had to take the difficult decision, agreed with the shipyard, Fincantieri, to update our ship’s coming into service schedule.”
“The additional time at the shipyard and at sea prior to her first journey will be utilized to ensure that Explora I will deliver to the fullest on the brand’s promise and vision – making absolutely no compromise on quality and luxury, our primary objective,” Ungerer concluded.
