SINGAPORE, 24 February 2026: Explora Journeys, the luxury ocean travel brand of the MSC Group, announces reservations are now open for its inaugural World Journey, setting sail on 6 January 2029.
Endless Worlds will take place aboard EXPLORA I, spanning four continents and 63 unique destinations with overnight stays in 12 destinations.
Representing significant milestones for the brand, the 128-day journey will be defined by 44 maiden calls visiting destinations and regions new to Explora Journeys — from the Indian Ocean, Australia and New Zealand to the waters of the South Pacific and Peru.
Guests may choose the full 128-day World Journey from Dubai to Barcelona (6 January to 14 May 2029), or opt for two slightly shortened versions with the same departure date: a 112-day World Journey concluding in New York City on 28 April 2029 and a 108-day World Journey ending in Miami on 24 April 2029.

A passage reveals the radiant spirit of Bali and the prehistoric landscapes of Komodo and Papua New Guinea, before following the Great Barrier Reef to Sydney.
Sydney to Auckland (14 nights)
From Australia’s vineyards to New Zealand’s fjords via Tasmania shifts the focus to the dramatic contrasts of the southern hemisphere.
Auckland to Tahiti (17 nights)
A passage across the Pacific to Fiji and the Cook Islands, traversing the turquoise tranquillity of French Polynesia.

A passage to rediscover the coral-haloed calm of Fakarava and the solitary mystery of Pitcairn with the ancient stone echoes of Easter Island.
Valparaíso to Miami (21 nights)
A passage traces the spine of South America, where extended time in Lima allows for deeper inland immersion into the sacred Quechua legacy of Cusco and Machu Picchu.

The final chapter: A passage through the Atlantic’s Mosaic pauses in New York City, then strikes out across the Atlantic toward the volcanic peaks of the Azores with stops in Lisbon and Cadiz, prelude to the ship’s arrival in Barcelona.
