She will be heading to Copenhagen, Denmark, on Tuesday – before going on a seven-night sailing to Rekjavik, Iceland. Explora 1 is the first of six boutique vessels, which will be built between 2023 and 2028.
Holidaymakers are promised an experience called “ocean state of mind” – where people can escape to the ocean, relax, create memories and reconnect with what matters most in life. The cruise liner is complete with a thermal area, two VIP double spa suites, beauty salon, fitness area and other wonderful features.
Look through all the pictures to see how amazing the ship is.
