A different expression of luxury arrives on the Elbe ✨

This morning, EXPLORA III made her way along the Elbe for her maiden call in Hamburg, arriving at Cruise Center HafenCity and adding to the growing presence of luxury cruising in our city.

A beautiful start to her first visit!

As I finally catch my breath after twelve extraordinary days, one feeling stands above everything else: gratitude.

Welcoming EXPLORA III into the world has been an incredible experience. From taking delivery in Genoa, to welcoming the very first guest to step onboard, @janniksin , to opening our doors to guests, trade partners and media from around the world, and finally celebrating her Naming Ceremony in Barcelona... every day has brought another milestone.

But ships don’t create experiences. People do.

To every member of our onboard and shoreside team, thank you. You have given your all. Long days, endless attention to detail, challenges solved with calm professionalism, and always with the desire to make every guest experience exceptional.

Working for a family-owned company means we pour our hearts into what we do. Over these past twelve days, I have seen that spirit everywhere. In every welcome, every smile, every conversation and every act of teamwork. I feel incredibly fortunate to play a part in bringing the Aponte-Vago family’s vision to life alongside such an extraordinary team.

I couldn’t be prouder of what we have achieved together.

And thank you, @mrfarhadheydari , for sharing this special milestone with me.

EXPLORA III has only just begun her story. Maybe the best part is only just beginning....@Explorajourneys by @annarnash

There are places that make an evening special. And then there are the people who make it truly unforgettable. The other evening, in the beautiful setting of Boccadasse, with the sea and the sunset as a breathtaking backdrop, I had the pleasure of attending an exclusive dinner hosted by the Explora Journeys team together with members of the international media.

It was one of those rare occasions when the pace of the day gives way to meaningful conversations, genuine connections, and the opportunity to get to know one another beyond the usual business setting. Because, beyond the ships and the destinations, it is always people who make the real difference.

One of the highlights of the evening was the pleasure of meeting @AnnarNash, President of Explora Journeys, and sharing a few moments of conversation with her in an atmosphere that was both elegant and wonderfully relaxed.

I leave with wonderful memories, new connections, and the reminder that the world of travel is, above all, about relationships, passion, and shared experiences.

My sincere thanks to @ExploraJourneys for the invitation and for an evening I will remember with great pleasure. taken in Boccadasse Vittorio Al Mare by @annarnash

Maybe the best address for the FORMULA 1® LOUIS VUITTON GRAND PRIX DE MONACO 2026 wasn’t on land.

For six unforgettable days, EXPLORA I held centre stage in Port Hercule — offering guests a truly unique perspective on one of the world’s most iconic sporting events.

From hosting the official Grand Prix opening party to unveiling Mandala, our new fine jewellery collection, alongside a series of exceptional events and experiences inspired by the energy of race week, EXPLORA I became a destination in herself.

🌟A heartfelt thank you to our incredible team whose passion, precision and dedication brought every moment to life🌟

Now we turn our focus to the launch of Explora III next month !!

In honor of #IWD2026 I’m excited to give you a sneak peek of our latest SLEEPING AROUND SAFELY episode featuring a forward thinking #cruiseline with multiple #women at the helm. Both the Master Ship Captain and Global President are dynamic #females sailing a new cruise line into uncharted waters - gracefully! Watch this episode for their inspiring interviews.

The OTPYM crew and I set sail from the new MSC Cruises port in #Barcelona onboard the Explora II by @explorajourneys ⚓️.

Even with a full day at sea, there wasn’t enough time to experience everything onboard. We explored multiple decks and pools, played pickleball, took a Pilates reformer class, and joined a craft-cocktail workshop complete with a smoke-bubble maker. We also slipped into what Explora calls an “Ocean State of Mind” during our time in the spa and salt room, followed by a deeply relaxing sound bath.

After a cozy night SLEEPING AROUND SAFELY in the Owner’s Suite, we woke just in time to watch the ship sail into the port town of Málaga. Off the ship, we explored Mijas and Marbella, including an olive-oil tasting and a visit with the family behind Molino de Paca, sampling their locally made products.

There are six distinct restaurants featuring global flavors—from Mediterranean coastal dishes to pan-Asian specialties—made with high-quality, fresh, and often local ingredients. Each venue reflects the brand’s relaxed European style, with curated wines and oceanfront settings.

One of my favorite moments was a hands-on cooking class with Master Sous Chef Alessandro Paolella, who showed us how to make his grandmother’s truffle ravioli, paired with a beautiful wine. A true standout of the journey.

Explora Journeys also waive solo supplements on select journeys + in this episode we meet their dedicated solo traveler entertainment host who curates meet ups both onboard + onshore.

Stay tuned, Season 4 of our award-winning series will premiere in April in Los Angeles!

Some moments in life remind you why you work so hard, why you choose carefully the brands you dedicate yourself to, and why surrounding yourself with visionary family businesses matters so much.

I am grateful to be part of the @explorajourneys story, envisioned by the incredibly kind and dedicated Aponte-Vago family, whose values define everything we do. It was highlight to welcome Jannik Sinner to our family as our brand ambassador, helping to shape and enrich the guest experience aboard Explora Journeys and to inspire a future generation of ocean travellers.

@mrfarhadheydari moderated the panel and brought humour and warmth to the conversation. A heartfelt thank you as well to my team, whose hard made it all happen so seamlessly. As well as @chrishessney and @melaniebrandman and teams ! 

Welcome to the family, @janniksin !

Cruising in the GCC is evolving, not just as a travel trend, but as a reflection of how the region is redefining luxury and cultural connection at sea.

With EXPLORA I & II ( @explorajourneys) anchoring new itineraries between Dubai, Muscat, Salalah, and Khasab, this is about more than a voyage, it’s a statement on how hospitality can slow down, reconnect, and reflect.

From design-driven suites to quiet coastal stops, this new chapter in regional cruising is tailored for those seeking depth over speed, and intention over itinerary.

Full story - Link in bio!

In my first 10 months with Explora Journeys, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing not one, but two triple milestones —today, the float out of EXPLORA III, the coin ceremony for EXPLORA IV, and the steel cutting of EXPLORA V.

These moments represent far more than construction progress — they reflect passion, precision, and a shared vision to reimagine ocean travel for a new generation of travellers. 

As I shared during the ceremony:
“We are not just building ships – we are taking the helm as we redefine what ocean travel can be. We are creating a legacy of transformative journeys that will endure for generations to come.”

I’m truly honoured to serve as President, working alongside Mr Vago and the Aponte family to bring this powerful vision to life — and deeply grateful to our extraordinary team at @explorajourneys and our partners at @fincantieri. by @annarnash
