SINGAPORE, 4 November 2025: MSC Group\u2019s Explora Journeys travel brand has confirmed its ship, Explora III, will embark on a preview sailing in the Mediterranean from 24 to 29 July 2026, ahead of its official maiden voyage departing Barcelona on 3 August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sailing from Genoa and concluding in Civitavecchia (Rome), \u2018A Mediterranean Prelude to Explora III\u2019 will follow the coastlines of the French and Italian Rivieras. In Marseille, guests will explore the Vieux-Port before continuing to Saint-Tropez, home to beaches and boutique-lined streets that capture the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur\u2019s signature glamour. The pastel harbourfront of Villefranche-sur-Mer offers a quieter charm, serving as the perfect starting point for discovering Nice\u2019s palm-shaded avenues and Belle \u00c9poque elegance. Crossing back into Italy, Livorno serves as a gateway to Tuscany\u2019s rolling landscapes and the Renaissance treasures of Florence, before the Eternal City, Rome, beckons as the final port of call.<\/p>\n\n\n
