This luxury cruise departs from Civitavecchia. When in Rome… it is time to explore the rich cultural heritage of the magnificent Italian capital from the mighty Colosseum to the artistic gems of the Sistine Chapel.
From Rome we will embark on a journey across the Mediterranean, sailing the Bay of Naples and picturesque Amalfi and the Sorrento coast with Mount Vesuvius in the background. From Sorrento we continue to Sicily where you can explore historic Messina, visit the spectacular Greek amphitheatre in Taormina or even hike Mount Etna.
In Sardinia, enjoy the views from Il Castelo in Cagliari, watch the sun set from the monumental towers of Alghero and over its ancient walls or dive into the coral coast of Capo Caccia to discover kaleidoscopic underwater creatures. Our last port of call before Barcelona is the UNESCO listed island of Menorca, a charming gem in the Balearics and the perfect place to relax and unwind.
In vibrant Barcelona, you can explore this bright city, home to many cultural treasures such as Gaudi’s impressive Sagrada Familia Basilica and Parc Guell.
Explora II is the second ship of the Explora Journeys fleet. Onboard Explora II you will experience vibrant cosmopolitan relaxed European luxury at sea, ocean-front suites, private terraces, and ocean wellness experiences, all while enjoying beautiful sea views.
