Explora Journeys is one of the few “new luxury” cruise brands and it actually feels luxurious once you’re onboard. The ships are stunning! The ships are really design-forward ships, all-suite accommodations, and a calm, resort-like vibe that’s noticeably different from traditional cruising. There are no inside rooms, only balcony rooms and above. Everything is included. There’s not nickel and dimming, and the staff seem to actually care. It’s really a great experience in the sub 1,000 passenger category.
I have been on Explora I and II 3 times now and it’s been great every time. I am hoping to check out Explora III with new features in the near future. Yet more importantly, as you look for you next vacation, know that you can save up to 20% off publicly advertise prices when you book via Rocky at Scott & Thomas Travel. (Although you MUST mention me by name or email me directly)
I have access to private fares on select Explora Journeys departures between now and 2028, with savings up to 20% on specific sailings including Alaska, Caribbean, Transatlantic, Northeast USA and Canada, Europe and more. These are not public promotions, they’re capacity-controlled, and I’m not allowed to publish the discounted rates. Yet, I can confirm when you’re seeing below-market pricing compared to what you’ll find online or booking direct. I say this all the time, but ALWAYS use a travel advisor. Never book a cruise directly!
If Explora is on your shortlist, this is one of those cases where a quick message can save real money with no compromise to the experience.
What you need to know
This deal is private and I can only share so much information. I have to play the hush hush game while still trying to save you money!
- Private fares on select departures from now through 2028
- Savings can be up to ~20% below published pricing (varies by sailing/category)
- Best Deals are Mediterranean trip this August and Early September
- I cannot post the discounted price publicly, but I can quote it directly to you
- Inventory is limited and can disappear quickly once a sailing gains momentum
- Only valid on Ocean Terrace and Penthouse suites. Not valid on any Residence suite.
How to use this Sale to your Advantage
With these private sales it’s always hard. I want my clients to save the most money, but I also cannot tell everyone about every great deal. If you’re looking to sail with Explora Journey and you want to save an extra 5-20% off publish prices, now is your change.
Send me:
- Your date range
- Preferred region/itinerary
- Number of guests + suite preference (if you have one)
I’ll check which sailings qualify and reply with:
- The best matching options
- Whether private pricing applies
- A clear “book / wait / skip” recommendation
The best way to get ahold of me is via email. And no, I cannot send you the entire list of deals. Yet I can share with you pricing and what could work for you base on what’s available.
Bottom Line
Explora doesn’t typically discount publicly, and published fares tend to hold. That’s exactly why private fares matter: you’re getting the same ship, same suite categories, same experience at just below-market pricing on qualifying departures. Why pay more when you can save up to 20% by knowing the right travel advisor! Contact me today and save on your next Explora trip!
