The holiday program is a fun-filled schedule packed with seasonal revelry, with things to do for travelers of all ages. This is the pampering that everyone has been looking forward to all year. Explora Journeys is tops at taking care of everyone’s needs with one of the highest staff-to-guest ratios at sea, and tailored services from dining to excursion-planning that create the most worry-free cruise experience possible.
Interconnected rooms and luxurious suites cater to families of all sizes, with the EXPLORA I and EXPLORA II each offering 78 multigen-favored connecting suites. This could be one of your best ideas yet – the family will absolutely love it.
Celebrate at sea this holiday season
With special events and themed parties, delicious feasts, and Champagne toasts, Explora Journeys has a history of hosting the most elaborate celebrations. Past Christmas events have included festive trivia, carol singing with live Steinway piano accompaniment, religious services, a special holiday choir, and movies that resonate with the spirit of the season. Kids have enjoyed unique playlists compiled especially for them, a Christmas parade, a family disco, and even an appearance by Santa himself.
New Year's Eve festivities in previous years have featured a masked ball and dance party, a lineup of cool entertainment, and plenty of culinary creations to enhance the celebration. Children have been dazzled by fun parties and even more dancing.
Instead of bringing presents with you in your luggage, you can give the gift of customizable wellness. Explora Journey's onboard programs include tailor-made health regimens, spa treatments, and state-of-the-art fitness centers.
Everyone in the family is taken care of
Explora Journeys is happy to have thought of everything a family needs. These holiday cruises will delight all members of the family – with thoughtful accessories like smaller-sized bathrobes, slippers and hangers. Even baby essentials can be arranged for the youngest member of the family. Explora Journeys has created activities for all ages, with both kids’ clubs and a teen zone.
The Nautilus Club for kids aged 6 to 17 includes video games and VR consoles – great for tech tournaments – along with a multi-game table, foosball, a jukebox tablet, board games and more, from 9 a.m. to midnight. Sports sessions and reserved periods at the Sports Court are supported by dips in the heated pools, plus painting and arts-and-crafts instruction. Children’s enhancement programs also include engagement that champions marine conservation and sustainable mindfulness, where young guests can participate in workshops that foster ways to care for the sea and the planet. This kind of “edu-tainment” continues on shore, with family-oriented tours providing learning opportunities for everyone – including things like a day at a farm, a visit to a space center, even whale-watching adventure.
And the adults? They can have their special time, too. The adults-only pool and lounge on Deck 12 offers a private escape, with 100 loungers and the best view on the ship.
Explora Journeys and the Tully Travel Designers work together in harmony to make your festive season absolutely sing. Whisk your family away with Explora Journeys for a season that they will never forget.
