Asia Awaits Sailing Into the Seasons of The Far East with Explora Journeys In 2027 and 2028, Explora Journeys opens a new chapter in luxury ocean travel as EXPLORA III sails into Asia for the very first time. Between September 2027 and May 2028, the ship will embark on 28 voyages visiting 49 destinations across Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore — all maiden calls for the cruise line. The itineraries are carefully timed to showcase Asia’s most evocative seasons. Guests will witness Japan’s autumn foliage in September 2027, when landscapes transform into a living canvas of crimson and gold. In early 2028, the ship celebrates Chinese New Year onboard, with themed entertainment and cultural immersion. From February to April, voyages coincide with Japan’s cherry blossom season, offering unforgettable views of sakura-lined streets and temples. Explora Journeys’ hallmark is depth of experience, and EXPLORA III delivers with overnight stays in key ports such as Hong Kong, Ha Long Bay, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Bali, Osaka, and Tokyo. These extended calls allow travellers to savour local culture — whether it’s sampling sake in Kyoto, exploring Vietnam’s limestone karsts, or dining in Singapore’s vibrant food halls. Onboard, the experience mirrors a boutique yacht: 463 ocean-facing suites, multiple restaurants and bars, and a guest-to-host ratio of 1.25:1 ensure personalised service. Guests enjoy all-inclusive amenities, from fine beverages and signature dining to spa access and wellbeing programmes. For travellers seeking both luxury and cultural immersion, EXPLORA III’s Asian season is a landmark moment. It blends the ancient traditions and modern skylines of Asia with Explora Journeys’ Ocean State of Mind — a philosophy of slowing down, connecting deeply, and embracing the rhythm of the sea. * Terms & conditions apply.
