A Journey To Soulful Sicily & Southern Greece

Explore by Sea

EXPLORIA I

Barcelona’s exalted architecture is etched eternal as we journey to timeless Trapani. Turn back clocks in Malta’s UNESCO capital and feel the irresistible allure of darling Taormina, cradled in Mount Etna’s long shadow. Charming Chania, muse for artists and poets, neverland Naxos, queen of the Cyclades; preludes to wondrous Athens. 
 
Southern Greece has stunning landscapes, beautiful coastlines and picturesque islands. Cruising on the EXPLORIA I will allow you to see it all. On your travels you can explore a range of extraordinary pursuits and destination experiences available at every stop.

Cruising will allow you to have the best of both worlds. Whether it’s lounging on the deck, swimming in the ship’s pool or putting those walking shoes on and exploring the islands.

All the things you need to know

An elegant blend of high energy and undisturbed tradition, Barcelona is a creative muse featuring the architectural marvels of Gaudi and irresistible tapas served in breezy plazas.

While at sea, take the time to recharge before the next adventure. Lounge by the pool, be spoiled at the spa, taste the delicacies or explore the venues on-board, until you arrive at the next amazing destination. 

Fully invest in la dolce vita. Savour exciting historical sites and authentic Sicilian life in the City of Salt and Sail. Admire some of the best-preserved relics of Greece’s Golden Age at the UNESCO-acclaimed ancient city of Agrigento. Life moves slowly here due to Trapani ‘s old-world Mediterranean soul.

Unearth the Med’s master of restoration and renovation behind Valetta’s fortified walls, for Europe’s smallest capital has more history per square mile than any other city.

This hilltop Ionian town holds all the aces: a historic centre and ancient Greco-Roman amphitheatre spilling down to the paradisical Isola Bella and beautiful pebble beaches.

History creeps around every corner in charming Chania, Cretan crossroads where Venetian houses abut Byzantine temples and centuries-old churches nestle among cobbled backstreets.
 

Wander amongst a whitewashed tumble of homes that spill down from the fortified walls of Chora Castle, hilltop capital of rarely-seen Naxos.  the cobbled streets of hilltop Chora and further to the mountain villages of Naxos, land of cedar forests, ancient ruins and idyllic Aegean beaches. 

Alongside the archaeological wonders of the Acropolis and the Parthenon, Athens exudes its glamour through vibrant markets, galleries, gelaterias, and bijoux boutiques.
