Explora Journeys is giving a select group of travelers an early look at its next-generation luxury vessel. The luxury ocean travel brand of the MSC Group has announced A Mediterranean Prelude to Explora III—a one-time, invitation-only sailing set for July 24–29, 2026.
The exclusive prelude sailing will give guests a behind-the-scenes preview of Explora III, the brand’s third vessel, ahead of its official inaugural journey from Barcelona to Lisbon on August 3, 2026. The intimate five-night itinerary will sail from Genoa to Civitavecchia (Rome), tracing the French and Italian Rivieras with stops in Marseille, Saint-Tropez, Villefranche-sur-Mer and Livorno.
