Mediterranean Cruise | Explora Journeys | August 2024 | from Rome to Athens

Resplendent Rome, the exalted wonder of ancient empires, holds us in her embrace for an enchanting overnight in port.

Watch the world go by with a creamy gelato while sunlight dances through the waters of Trevi Fountain and gaze in awe at the mighty Corinthian columns of the Pantheon.

Mythological beasts and ageless deities prance in Palermo’s Piazza Pretoria, surrounded by chapels and palazzos adorned with frescoes and mosaics of indescribable beauty.

Lose yourself in the labyrinthine streets of Corfu under fragrant blooms that spill from shuttered facades and pause to ponder in shaded colonnade cafés.

Wander among the pretty whitewashed buildings and creaking windmills of Mykonos, belle of the Cyclades, before surrendering to her nocturnal charms.

The next morning, mooch around art galleries or UNESCO-listed Delos Island, the birthplace of gods. Close your eyes as we arrive in Athens and picture 200 trireme warships, the greatest fleet in Ancient Greece, ready to set sail.

EXPLORA II, the second ship of the Explora Journeys fleet, sets sail in 2024, opening possibilities of new discoveries, and offering you the opportunity to immerse yourself in exciting, inspiring destinations on your journey to the Ocean State of Mind.
