Explora Journeys’ upcoming new ship will operate a preview cruise ahead of its official maiden voyage.
The new Explora III will sail a five-night ‘Mediterranean Prelude’ sailing in late July from Genoa and concludes in Civitavecchia (Rome).
This preview cruise will call at Marseille, Villefranche and Livorno.
A few days later, the maiden voyage departs from Barcelona to Lisbon on 3 August, 2026.
Explora said: “This one-time journey is an invitation to discover the elegance and innovation of Explora III before she is introduced to the wider world during her inaugural journey,” the cruise line said.
