Explora Journeys' newest ship, the Explora III, recently arrived in Northern Europe during its maiden season.
The vessel is now offering a series of cruises to the Baltic Sea, Scandinavia and the British Isles, having welcomed its first guests in early August.
The Explora III kicked off its schedule in the region a few weeks later, following a repositioning voyage that started in Lisbon, Portugal.
The 15-night itinerary included visits to destinations in Spain, England, France and Norway before ending in Copenhagen, Denmark.
For its debut in the region, the ship is now offering a cruise in the Baltic that sails to Estonia, Sweden and Latvia.
The eight-night itinerary is highlighted by stops in Tallinn, Riga, Visby and Ronne, in addition to an overnight call in Stockholm.
The ship will offer additional itineraries to Scandinavia, the British Isles and Iceland before repositioning to North America.
In late September, the Explora III will cross the Atlantic for the first time ahead of a fall season in Canada and New England.
The vessel will then reposition to the Caribbean in late October, offering itineraries departing from Miami, Puerto Rico and Barbados.
Built at Fincantieri's shipyard in Sestri Ponente, Italy, the Explora III was delivered to Explora Journeys in late July.
As the third ship in a series that began with the Explora I in 2023, the 922-passenger vessel is the first in the company's fleet to be powered by LNG.
The 70,000-ton vessel is also slightly larger than its predecessors, offering additional public areas and more suites.
Before arriving in Northern Europe, the ship offered itineraries in the Mediterranean, Iberia and the Atlantic.
Explora is now preparing to welcome the Explora IV and the Explora V to its fleet in 2027, with the Explora VI following suit in 2028.
