Overview

Set out from sunlit Miami and slip into slower rhythms in the soft pastel charm of Bermuda’s pink sands and breezy harbours. Wild beauty unfolds in the Azores, from hydrangea-draped Faial with its black-sand beaches, volcanic caldera and whale-rich waters, to São Miguel’s steaming fumaroles, crater lakes and lush, misted valleys. Our adventure draws to a close in the historic gateway of Cádiz, completing a journey shaped by ocean beauty and island enchantment.

Itinerary

Welcome to Miami and the sweep of South Beach - backdrop to every iconic Miami movie, and forefront of Latin American culture. Stroll through pastel-hued geometric buildings in the art deco district, to graffiti mural masterpieces at Wynwood Walls. Watch Latino life unfold in Little Havana - the heartbeat of this great city - where walk-up windows sell café cortadito, sweet sugarcane juice, hatuey beer and guava ice-cream. Watch passionate locals discuss politics, play dominoes and smoke cigars. Shimmy at a salsa class, shop designer boutiques and race marlin and sharks by speedboat. Then slow your pace to uncover rare and endangered species at the Everglades National Park outdoor oasis. You'll find the Miami dream is real – and it's not just Cuban heels that will give you a spring in your step.

With more time to reflect, rejuvenate, and embrace the Ocean State of Mind, days at sea with Explora Journeys invite moments of unhurried exploration. Against a backdrop of endless blue, indulge in a varied programme of wellness, dining and entertainment, enriching the mind and indulging the senses, designed to satisfy even the most curious of minds. These moments at sea offer a rare chance to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with yourself and your loved ones. With so many onboard experiences, each day at sea is unique and memorable.

Picture a charming little island awash in peaceful pastels, and Bermuda – with its heavenly pink-sand beaches and endless turquoise ocean – can't be far off. Explore the beautiful shallow reefs that have played a key role in Atlantic maritime history, the shipwrecks here casting Bermuda and its 300 coral atolls as one of the world's best diving destinations; or seek Bermuda's superlative ocean-fronted fairways, surrounded by sun-bathed swaying palms and rich birdsong.

Wander back through time amid the winding streets, colourful houses and pillar-box red phonebooths in whimsically British St George's and Hamilton, and then leap back into the here-and-now art galleries, restaurants and boutiques tapping into the island's breezy, blue-chip scene.

Colourful yachts bob just offshore the prettiest island in the Azores, its curvy coastline locked in the embrace of its formidable cliffs. A bevvy of blue hydrangeas and beech trees drape hillsides dotted with terra cotta roofs and majestic churches. Grand panoramas continue from atop the volcanic caldera and Espalamaca Belvedere. Returning to terra firma, peace and tranquillity pervade whilst you linger along black sand beaches watching whales dance in the distance.

The gothic facade of Igreja de São Sebastião and the gilded carvings of Igreja de São José are a man-made prelude to the natural wonders of São Miguel, Mother Nature's incubator. Venture into the village of Furnas and its volcanic caldera, flecked with steaming geysers and mineral-rich springs shrouded in Azorean cloud forest and misty waterfalls. Then delve into the sublime world of Sete Cidades, an epic landscape of crater lakes and pine-covered slopes, where the lost city of Atlantis lies submerged.

Go back in time - where cobbled streets clatter with horse drawn carriages, culture and history seeps through this Spanish city's soul. Enjoy locally produced tapas and admire the form of iconic Andalusian horses. Drift into tasting tours at sherry wineries in Jerez, then step out to twirl the flamenco. Explore Seville's architectural marvels; baroque churches, palaces, gothic cathedrals, aristocratic mansions and medieval buildings. With no less than three Unesco World Heritage sites to visit, you'll feel truly inspired by what Cadiz has to offer.

Explorer 2 - Wow just Wow 1 , NSW, Australia, Mar 2025
We had an amazing experience on Explora 2 from Lisbon to Barcelona in early April. The boarding was seamless, our cabin a lovely quiet haven, the food and restaurants were amazing, with so much choice. The icing on the cake was the Explora team, everyone was so friendly and nothing was ever too much trouble. We loved it and will return. Thank you read more for such a wonderful holiday.

The ocean connects you with yourself, people and the places around you. It relaxes you and creates an energy in you that inspires inner and outer discovery, broadens horizons and triggers new connections. All of this creates an emotional connection that is powerful, transformative, yet universal. We call it the Ocean State of Mind. The Ocean State of more Mind is reached only with Explora Journeys. It’s why all that we do is designed to offer refined yet effortless luxury, with the opportunity for exploration and transformation of the inner and outer self, resulting in a state that is uniquely rewarding — physically, intellectually and spiritually.
