The luxurious EXPLORA I set sail for the first time in August 2023 , carrying passengers from Copenhagen ’ s picturesque port to the striking wilderness of the Scottish Isles and Iceland . Taking in the quaint seaside scenes in Lerwick , the Shetland Islands and Kirkwall , Orkney , the ship cruised to the black-sand shores of Iceland and eventually culminated in the capital Reykjavík . It ’ s the latest of Explora |
Journeys ’ luxury liners ; with spacious suites fitted with floor-to-ceiling windows offering travellers 24-hour sea views . Spending its first months touring Northern Europe , the ship will go on to cross the Atlantic to winter in North America and the Caribbean . Future vessels include EXPLORA II and EXPLORA III — the latter will be the first of two liquified natural gas-powered vessels in Explora Journeys ’ fleet . |
