7 Night Cruise sailing from Miami roundtrip aboard Explora I.

Highlights of this cruise:

Miami
Miami in Florida is located on the southeast tip of Florida. Miami is best known for its sunny weather, golden beaches and lively nightlife. Also known as the ‘Gateway to the Americas’, the 15 miles of glorious beaches make Miami popular with all ages, attracting a broad spectrum of tourists.

Tourist attractions include Miami’s Miracle Mile – one of Miami’s major shopping regions, the Miami Freedom Tower, Miami Metrozoo – one of the finest wild animal parks in America and the Miami Seaquarium – a 38-acre complex of huge saltwater pools.

Miami has a range of communities and districts, amongst them is Downtown Miami, a vibrant and diverse area of Miami, filled with clothes and jewelry shops, restaurants, cafés and fast-food stands. Miami South Beach Area (SoBe) is one of Miami’s most exciting areas and is full of art galleries, stylish diners, Art Deco buildings, glorious beaches and many of Miami’s top nightclubs.

Grand Cayman
The Cayman Islands-a British Crown colony that includes Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman is one of the Caribbean’s hottest destinations, world-renowned for two offshore activities: banking and scuba diving.

The manicured capital of George Town, which bulges with some 554 offshore banks, offers great diving, shopping, dining, windsurfing, watersports, golf, dancing, and more. The other two “sisters” are far more laid-back, with Little Cayman catering almost exclusively to the scuba divers that flock there for translucent waters and a colourful variety of protected marine life.

Grand Cayman is party island. As the largest island, it attracts 99 percent of the tourists, most of whom flock to hotel-stocked Seven Mile Beach. Georgetown is an eclectic place that has a remarkable mix of architecture, from traditional British, to modern styling. Their banking and investment laws makes the Caymans the 5th largest financial center in the world.

Explora Journeys represents the ambition and long-held dream of the MSC Group and the Aponte family to create a transformative luxury ocean travel experience and brand that redefines the luxury cruise category.

This is a story that starts in Sorrento with a Neapolitan ferry captain, Gianluigi Aponte, who – together with the Swiss sweetheart he met when she was a passenger on one of his crossings – went on to create MSC, a global shipping operation and the world’s largest privately-owned cruise company. Now this Swiss-Italian seafaring family are fulfilling their life-long dream and launching Explora Journeys, an exquisite, modern luxury cruise experience like no other.

The Aponte family records date back to the 17th century from which 300 years of sea-faring expertise, alongside an inherent passion and respect for the sea has developed.

Indeed, the ocean and its influence on us as human beings sits at the very heart of the Explora Journeys brand.

The oceans connect you with yourself, people and the places around you. It relaxes you, and creates an energy in you that inspires inner and outer discovery, broadens horizons and triggers new connections.

All of this, creates an emotional connection that is powerful, transformative, yet universal.

We call it the Ocean State of Mind

A state of mind that has helped create Explora Journeys. A state of mind inspired by the blue waters of our seas and oceans. Characterised by calm, unity, elegance and joy, that encourages inner and outer exploration and discovery. One that appeals to our audience’s desire for mindful travel. A state of mind that embodies a consciousness of how guests go, not just where they go. This is what Explora Journeys will uniquely provide for our guests.
