Trip Ideas Featuring Explora Journeys
Asian Journeys
Asia swims between two huge oceans, the Indian to the west and the Pacific to the east. In between rises a complex geography of island nations graced by some of the most fascinating cultures rooted in more than five thousand years of myth and mystery. Exceptionalism, escapism and everywhere you will find warm greetings in a dozen tongues.
Northern Europe, Iceland & Greenland
A pendulum swings between art, culture, and cocktails in Europe’s most cosmopolitan cities and the profound serenity of nature at its most powerful and restorative. Fairytales and folksongs unite Ireland and Iceland with Celtic melodies and ballads that echo with the ghosts of the past. Form and function harmonise in the sheltered harbours of Baltic capitals and Scandinavia’s storied cities, where towering spires overlook jagged coastlines and fjord-filled seas.
Our Red Sea & Arabian Peninsula Journeys
Framed by the Red Sea and the Gulfs of Aden, Oman, and Persia, the Arabian Peninsula is shaped by the ancient Incense Route. Deserts and mountains lead to vibrant coasts and cities where warm welcomes abound. Tradition meets innovation in this land where ancient customs fuel modern ambitions.
