Listen Later

Ever imagined a cruise that feels more like a boutique hotel than a ship?

This week on The Travel Podcast, we're diving deep into the revolutionary world of Explora Journeys – a new luxury ocean travel brand that’s tearing up the cruise rulebook and attracting travellers who swore they’d never set foot on a ship.

Our guest Andrew, Business Relationship Lead for the UK & Ireland for Explora, shares how Explora Journeys is delivering an ocean travel experience unlike anything else on the market.

If you think cruising is about packed buffets, cheesy shows and inside cabins, then think again. 

Explora Journeys offers something else entirely: space, serenity, and the boutique hotel experience… at sea.
