Journey Overview
We set sail from vibrant Barcelona to the sun-drenched shores and historic streets of Cadiz. Ascend Funchal’s breathtaking heights and admire the scenery from the peaks. Enjoy ocean-inspired wellness and unparalleled luxury on board on your way to St. John's, Antigua. We bask on pristine beaches and revel in lively Caribbean adventure before heading to Road Bay, Anguilla, where crystal-clear waters and soft sands await. We discover the charm and colourful architecture of San Juan, then round off our cultural exploration in the iconic art deco elegance of Miami.
Day 1 - Barcelona, Spain
Breathe in the cultural heart of Catalan; an elegant blend of high energy and undisturbed tradition. Muse over the origins of captivating Gaudi architecture within the enchanting labyrinth that is the Gothic Quarter. Savour the flavours of fresh tapas and crisp cava in breezy plazas, tranquil terraces and coveted cafés, or glide down to a shimmering beach club to unwind. Imagine a visit to peaceful Passeig de Gracia, where modernist buildings merge to showcase iconic global labels. And, as dusk falls, prepare for urban action and swing by the lively bohemian bars to fiesta on the leafy stretch of La Rambla. If you’re serious about style, this colourful city provides plenty to celebrate.
Day 2 - Day at Sea
With more time to reflect, rejuvenate, and embrace the Ocean State of Mind, days at sea with Explora Journeys invite moments of unhurried exploration. Against a backdrop of endless blue, indulge in a varied programme of wellness, dining and entertainment, enriching the mind and indulging the senses, designed to satisfy even the most curious of minds.

With so many onboard experiences, each day at sea is unique and memorable.

Surrounded by endless blue, guests can explore enriching wellness, dining, and entertainment experiences designed to inspire curiosity. Each day becomes a chance to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with yourself and those around you.

Guests can enjoy a diverse programme of wellness, dining, and cultural experiences while the world slows to the rhythm of the sea. It’s an opportunity to disconnect, rejuvenate, and reconnect with what matters most.
Day 12 - St. John's, Antigua (and Barbuda)
An adrenaline rush awaits. Swim with stingrays. Zip-line through lush forests. Walk across a gorge on a scenic suspension bridge. Sip excellent aged rums. Taste the island with a chef. Or stroll St. John's old town to tour cottages laden with cheerful fretwork. Explore British forts atop Shirley Heights and Goat Hill. Then rest and rejuvenate at one of the snow-white beaches.
Day 13 - Road Bay, Anguilla
Restore in blissfully quiet yet sophisticated laid-back island life. Roam amongst wildlife, learn fascinating insights into Anguilla's quirky history and gently wander to the limestone cavern of Katouche cave. Embark on a guided quad bike tour for a glimpse of island life and sail over electric blue seas to reach remote paradise at private Little Bay, where jagged cliffs flank pristine sands. Casually kayak or paddle board through warm breezes and calm waters to secluded coves and indulge in refreshing cocktails with butter-soaked grilled lobster at enticing beach bars, with toes submerged in the softest, whitest and finest sand.
Day 14 - San Juan, Puerto Rico
Explore the oldest US city for a dose of Caribbean history, slice of Spanish culture and twist of American dream. Roam historic Old San Juan alleyways to glimpse centuries-old forts and colourful colonial buildings. Learn how to move, as locals sashay out the salsa to rhythmic reggae beats. Shop the boho streets or glamorous boutiques for artisan goods, decadent designers and hand-rolled cigars. Experience world-class surfing, explore a tropical rainforest, attend a private rum cocktail tasting and polish off empanadas. Then retire to one of the beautiful beaches to soak up crystal clear waters and, perhaps, one last rum cocktail.
Day 3 - Cadiz, Spain
Go back in time - where cobbled streets clatter with horse drawn carriages, culture and history seeps through this Spanish city’s soul. Enjoy locally produced tapas and admire the form of iconic Andalusian horses. Drift into tasting tours at sherry wineries in Jerez, then step out to twirl the flamenco. Explore Seville’s architectural marvels; baroque churches, palaces, gothic cathedrals, aristocratic mansions and medieval buildings. With no less than three Unesco World Heritage sites to visit, you’ll feel truly inspired by what Cadiz has to offer.
Day 4 - Day at Sea
After a day of touring, take the time to recharge before the next adventure. Enjoy the vast amenities onboard, with entertainment and daily activities offered, or lounge by the pool, be spoiled at the spa, try your luck at the casino, exquisite shops, culinary events, live music and theatre shows late into the evening until we arrive at our next amazing destination.
Day 5 - Funchai (Madeira), Portugal
Funchal’s web of ancient streets spills down from lofty heights. Ride the cable car up to the exotic gardens of Monte Palace at its peak, where peacocks prowl high above the Atlantic. Descend at speed in a wicker sleigh piloted by ‘Carreriros’ elegantly dressed in crisp whites and straw boater hats since the mid-1800s. Swirl a glass of amber-coloured Madeira at a café overlooking chequerboard-tiled Praça do Município and prepare to explore lush could forests crisscrossed by hiking trails and black sand beaches below jungle-covered cliffs.

Stroll through pastel-hued geometric buildings in the art deco district, to graffiti mural masterpieces at Wynwood Walls. Watch Latino life unfold in Little Havana - the heartbeat of this great city - where walk-up windows sell café cortadito, sweet sugarcane juice, hatuey beer and guava ice-cream. Watch passionate locals discuss politics, play dominoes and smoke cigars. Shimmy at a salsa class, shop designer boutiques and race marlin and sharks by speedboat.
