 IMPORTANT NOTICE: EXPLORA JOURNEYS HAS DECIDED TO POSTPONE THIS VOYAGE TO JULY 17, 2023 AS A RESULT OF DELAYS IN COMPLETING THE FINISHING TOUCHES ON THE SHIP. WE WILL PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS ONCE WE HAVE AN UPDATED ITINERARY. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING…EXPLORA WANTS THIS TO BE AN UNPARALLELED EXPERIENCE, AND DETERMINED THAT THIS POSTPONEMENT WAS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR GUESTS.

​ We call it “ours” because we had a role in planning the unprecedented resort at sea, Explora I. Early on, we were asked for our input on what our clients would want in an ocean-going experience, and now that it is coming to fruition we are seeing that the owners of Explora I took our advice to heart…spacious suites, culinary excellence, and an emphasis on deeper destination experiences are all now part of the Explora experience.

We are holding a small number of suites on what we believe will be an exquisite experience: departing from Southampton on July 11, 2023, Explora I will sail north to one of the planet’s most exquisite destinations, the pristine fjords of Norway. Ultimately, we will reach one of the milestones for true adventurers, the Arctic Circle. 

Explora will offer unequaled (and uncrowded) destination experiences for their guests, but for those who wish to go deeper…or simply explore on their own…we can craft individualized experiences before, during, and after this journey.

The phrase “once in a lifetime opportunity,” is often overused, but in this instance it is what we are offering—the inaugural sailing of a new ship, offering a never-to-be-repeated experience. We are holding a half dozen suites for our fellow travelers, and there is no guarantee that others will be accommodated.

To secure your place in maritime history, phone Victoria at 630.561.1095 or email her at vboomgarden@elantravel.net.

​Travel beyond…with Elán and Explora!

Claudia, thank you for your questions. First, this is a brand new ship, and the first voyages will be in Spring of 2023. The initial float out ceremony just occurred: https://youtu.be/ChUOtbfGiMA

As you might imagine, the cost for these voyages varies considerably, depending on the length of the voyage and the itinerary. If you’d like I could pull together some information on their upcoming itineraries and send them to you.

This web page has photos and diagrams of the suites: https://explorajourneys.com/int/en/suites/Ocean-Suites.html. One notable observation is that their lead-in (smallest) suites are considerably larger than those currently being offered on other ships, yet it seems to us that the pricing is very competitive.

If you’d like to discuss some of the options and itineraries, feel free to send me an email at mike@elantravel.net. If you decide to go forward and you would prefer to work with another advisor, I’d suggest that you seek out a Virtuoso advisor, as booking through that consortium offers additional benefits.
