A Journey of Greek Treasures & Soulful Shores
Jul 19 - 26, 2027
Picture this: seven days adrift between Aegean blue and Ottoman gold, aboard one of the most talked-about new ships at sea. EXPLORA II sets sail from Piraeus and doesn't stop showing off — pine-scented Skiathos, the sunbaked ruins of Ephesus at Kusadasi, the wild jade hills of Lesbos, the bazaars and minarets of Istanbul, and a final flourish in Mykonos before you glide back into Athens.
The ship itself is half the story. EXPLORA II carries five heated pools (indoor and out), twelve bars and lounges for sundowners with a view, an Ocean Wellness spa built for actual unwinding, and eleven distinct culinary experiences — think in-suite dining, chef's-table classes, and tastings that don't quit. Every suite comes stocked with a welcome bottle of champagne, plus your own bottle of wine and spirits on arrival. And the drinks don't stop there: premium spirits, champagne, and specialty coffee flow unlimited, anytime, anywhere onboard — including delivered straight to your suite.
It's less "cruise" and more floating boutique hotel with a killer itinerary — the kind of trip where the ship is a destination in its own right, not just how you get to one.

Pricing
Ocean Terrace Suites begin at just $5,040 per person
At roughly 377–420 sq ft, Ocean Terrace Suites are among the most spacious standard staterooms afloat — and every one comes with a private sun terrace, not a token balcony. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with light and frame the sea as your ever-changing backdrop.
Inside: a walk-in wardrobe with a seated vanity and Dyson Supersonic hair dryer, heated bathroom floors, individual climate and lighting control, and motion-activated night lighting that eases you out of bed without flipping on the overheads. The terrace itself comes furnished with a dining area and sunbed or loungers — your own slice of deck, private and yours alone.
The little things are covered too: a mini-bar restocked to your preferences, an in-suite espresso machine with kettle and teapot, a personal refillable water bottle, Mandala Blue bath amenities made exclusively for Explora, and a pair of binoculars for spotting coastline and passing wildlife. Wireless charging, USB-A/C ports, and complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi keep you connected if you want to be.
And it's not just a room — booking an Ocean Suite unlocks the full run of Explora inclusions: nine dining experiences (including in-suite), unlimited premium beverages served anywhere onboard, a welcome bottle of champagne plus a bottle each of wine and spirits on arrival, spa thermal access, and gratuities built in from the start.
It's the suite that proves "entry-level" doesn't mean scaled-back — just the beginning of the story.
