With the festive season on the horizon, Explora Journeys has unveiled Caribbean journeys aboard Explora I and Explora II this year-end. The journeys, inspired by the “Currents of Connection” theme, will offer seasonal experiences curated by MSC Group’s ocean travel brand this Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve.
Explora I and Explora II’s festive itineraries range from seven to 17 nights in duration, with destination ports including Charlotte Amalie, the capital of St. Thomas. Here, morning swims in Magen’s Bay segue into market browsing and afternoons exploring historical landmarks. At Terre-de-Haut (Les Saintes, Guadeloupe), a picture-perfect village of bougainvillea-lined lanes and pastel houses awaits, while in Bridgetown (Barbados), vibrant street life and colonial architecture blend with a rich rum heritage and laid-back beach culture. Boulangeries line leafy boulevards in Fort-de-France (Martinique), and in Basseterre (St. Kitts and Nevis), guests can wander through Georgian streets or opt for volcano hikes and reef kayaking. Every port offers its own unique blend of natural beauty, adventure, and cultural heritage.
