Emily Bennett-Fora Advisor

There’s something very special about the Mediterranean during the festive season.

This Journey aboard EXPLORA II from Athens to Barcelona (29 November to 28 December 2026) gives you the chance to experience the region at a slower, more atmospheric time of year, moving through multiple destinations without rushing from one to the next.

Instead of a short holiday that feels over too quickly, you settle into the Journey itself and enjoy the comfort of life on board while the Mediterranean unfolds around you in the lead-up to Christmas.

If you’re looking for a festive escape that feels more relaxed, more considered, and far less crowded, this is one to look at closely. Let’s reserve your suite ahead of time.
