EXPLORA II
February 14, 2026
Day 1 - Quintessential Miami
Welcome to Miami and the sweep of South Beach - backdrop to every iconic Miami movie, and forefront of Latin American culture. 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. Then slow your pace to uncover rare and endangered species at the Everglades National Park outdoor oasis. You’ll find the Miami dream is real – and it’s not just Cuban heels that will give you a spring in your step.
Day 2 - Casual Key West
Key West might end at Florida’s most southern point, but here is the start of real laid-back life. Nearer Cuba than Miami, this last in line of small coral reefed islands is famed for history, culture, fishing, cuisine, and candy-coloured homes. Surf, snorkel, shop by appointment and attend a private seafood tasting. Hop aboard the Old Town Trolley tour, visit Hemingway’s quirky former house, study over 50 different butterflies at the Butterfly & Nature Conservatory and watch leggy flamingos strut their stuff. Key West is not just a deep tan Floridan beach town, it’s a way of life, with the only rule being to come as you please.

Day 3 - Day At Sea
After several days 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 4 - New Orleans, Louisiana
Deep in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, beats one of the most unique cities in America. A sumptuous blend of French, Spanish, and Caribbean architecture, where bucolic and urban mingle, antique meets trendy, naughty nuzzles nice, and the Hurricane cocktail keeps things buzzy. The Queen of Creole, Cajun, and Soul has been simmering at slow boil for three hundred years creating some iconic cuisine served with a generous helping of Southern hospitality. Jazz fills the air as brass bands parade along the quaint, cobbled streets that so enchanted Edgar Degas, Tennessee Williams, Louis Armstrong and Anne Rice. As they say in NoLa, “laissez les bon temps rouler”.
Day 5 - New Orleans, Louisiana
After an overnight stay, continue with another full day of exploring the Big Easy. The ship departs at 5pm
Day 6 - Day at Sea

Day 7 - Mayan Marvels in Progreso
Head into the port of Progeso, gateway to some true Yucatan treats. Learn about the history, customs and culture of the ancient Maya. Seek out elegant architecture, well-preserved Mayan exhibits and a drop of mezcal in charming Mérida. Head out to visit the impressive sights at one of the new Wonders of the World; Chichen Itza. Visit the archaeological ruins of mythical Uxmal, explore the Temple of the Seven Dolls and cool off in the sacred waters of a secret cenote. A marvel of the wonders of Mayan myths.
Day 8 - Mayan Marvels in Progreso
After an overnight stay, continue with another full day of exploring the ancient Maya. The ship departs at 5pm
Day 9 - Culture and Colour in Cozumel
Off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula and off the charts in charm, Cozumel, once sacred to the Mayan Moon Goddess Ixchel, now is a wealth of natural beauty. Dive into the kaleidoscopic Caribbean waters that lap her beaches, follow dive guides to the Mesoamerican reef, or swim in sacred cenotes. Take a walk on the Wild East side, sink into hammocks and sip Mezcalitos cocktails and nosh on the freshest fish tacos. Kayak the mangroves or hike trails around the marshland and pay homage to Ixchel at her temple ruins of San Gervasio.
