This Luxury Cruise Line Is Making a Major Move Into River Cruising—and an Expert Calls It a ‘Game Changer’
Explora Journeys plans to bring its all-suite ships, European hospitality, and luxury-focused approach to river cruising, joining a growing group of brands sailing both oceans and rivers.
First it was Celebrity Cruises, whose 2025 announcement that it was launching a fleet of innovative river ships sent loyal cruisers into a frenzy. Now, another ocean cruise line is set to make a splash on Europe’s rivers.
Explora Journeys announced its entry into river cruising, with a letter of intent signed for the construction of its first luxury river ships.
