Explora Journeys announces 128-day inaugural world journey for 2029

Explora Journeys has unveiled Endless Worlds, its first world journey aboard EXPLORA I. 

The 128-day voyage departs January 6, 2029, and concludes May 14 in Barcelona.

The east-to-west journey spans four continents, 29 countries and territories and 63 destinations. 

The voyage marks Explora Journeys' first sailings to Australia and New Zealand.

"Endless Worlds represents a milestone in the evolution of Explora Journeys," said Anna Nash, president of Explora Journeys. 

"Our Inaugural World Journey embodies our deepest values – boundless exploration, cultural curiosity and a meaningful connection to the ocean. It enables our guests to experience the world as an uninterrupted story, told gradually and gracefully, with the time and space to absorb its beauty in full."

Endless Worlds is structured as seven distinct passages, each designed as a complete journey that connects to form a single itinerary.

The voyage originates in Dubai and continues to India's ports and the Maldives.

EXPLORA I will visit Sri Lanka before reaching Southeast Asia and the islands of Bali and Komodo. 

The ship then sails to Australia, with overnight calls in Cairns, Airlie Beach, Brisbane and Melbourne, followed by Tasmania and New Zealand's fjords. 

The Pacific portion includes Fiji, Tonga, the Cook Islands, French Polynesia and Easter Island.

The vessel will transit the Panama Canal and continue along the Pacific coast through Chile and Peru. 

Sailing east across the Atlantic, the itinerary includes Bermuda, Faial Island and São Miguel in the Azores before arriving in the Mediterranean.

Ocean-front suites feature private terraces. 

Onboard programming includes wellness activities, culinary experiences that reflect visited regions, cultural performances and visiting experts. 

A series of destination experiences led by local guides provides access to regional traditions and environments.

Reservations for Endless Worlds open early 2026.
