Diamond Beaches & Sparkling Private Idylls | 9 Nights | DEC 13 - DEC 22, 2023
From stellar grace to heavenly lairs, you set sail on your quest for blue-water bliss where nature demands your full attention. From Miami, Explora's playground of discovery continues in San Juan, diving amongst fish named for parrots, angels and damsels. Then on to the Eden of Samaná; a sanctuary for stories about secluded Playa Rincon beach, considered by many to be the most beautiful. You'll then call upon Ocean Cay Marine Reserve; Explora's private island outpost designed to provide enriching experiences in a coral-sustainable environment.
A Sensational New Year Celebration | 7 Nights | DEC 29 - JAN 5, 2024
The merriment departs from San Juan, where a visit into the artsy neighbourhood of Santurce may have you seeing life from a new perspective. You'll then call upon the Eden-like enclave of St. Kitts with its looming mountains. A gala dinner, midnight countdown and champagne toasts sets the stage for a memorable New Year’s night that leads to a lazy first day of 2024. Rise and shine in Le Marigot to sip Beaujolais in a French café or savour chocolate in a Dutch emporium. Slip over to Charlotte Amalie, formerly a pirate hideout for Bluebeard and Blackbeard, to admire the treasured Magen’s Bay.
Elaborate festivities and champagne toasts herald the celebration of Explora's Christmas Journey. Peace and joy continue as soft breezes lead us to Virgin Gorda. Explore The Baths and step into the Cathedral — two enormous adjoining rocks where a heavenly sliver of sunlight beams onto a luminous blue grotto. Next, you'll trade sugar plums for candied coconut snacks in Deshaies and St. John’s. Our final call, San Juan, bursts with historic UNESCO gifts of Fortaleza and El Morro fortresses.
NOTE: An extended version of this itinerary is also available sailing 12/22 - 1/2/24 Miami to Miami.
