Imagine a voyage that isn’t just a cruise — but an unfolding story. A journey that invites you to fall into the rhythm of the ocean and traverse the globe without compromise. Endless Worlds, Explora Journeys’ inaugural world cruise, is that story: a 128-day sojourn from Dubai to Barcelona that will redefine how you see the world.
Set to debut in January 2029, Endless Worlds stands as one of the most ambitious luxury experiences ever offered at sea. Designed for travelers with the ultimate luxury — time — this continuous voyage aboard EXPLORA I blends immersive cultural experiences, unrivalled comfort and an ocean-centric philosophy known as the Ocean State of Mind.
A Global Odyssey: 128 Days and 63 Destinations
From the moment the ship departs Dubai on 6 January 2029 until it arrives in Barcelona on 14 May 2029, Endless Worlds unfolds as a symphony of discovery. Across four continents, guests will explore 29 countries and territories and touch 63 unique destinations — each chosen to reveal the diverse beauty and stories of our planet.
Highlights include stops in:
- The spice-scented shores of India and the shimmering atolls of the Maldives.
- Spiritual Sri Lanka and vibrant Southeast Asian hubs like Singapore, with cultural gems across Bali and Komodo.
- Australia and New Zealand — from Sydney and Melbourne to Tasmania and the dramatic fjords of the South Pacific.
- The tropical lore of Fiji, Tonga and the Cook Islands, the bohemian beauty of French Polynesia and the haunting isolation of Easter Island.
- A historic transit of the Panama Canal, before exploring the Pacific coasts of Chile and Peru.
- Atlantic island gems like Bermuda and the Azores’ Faial and São Miguel, before the Mediterranean finale.
This isn’t a checklist of ports — it’s a narrative arc, stitched together to reveal how culture, history and natural wonder connect across hemispheres.
Life Aboard EXPLORA I: A Sanctuary at Sea
Explora Journeys has crafted each moment so guests can immerse in the world outside without distraction. On board:

- Wellness and enrichment programs are designed to reflect the ocean and cultures encountered.
- Cultural performances and destination experts bring ports to life, connecting guests deeply to places and people.
There’s no rush here — Endless Worlds embraces a slow, intentional pace. Whether relaxing in a private cabana on deck, delving into local traditions ashore, or engaging with a visiting historian under starlit skies, this is travel that transcends the ordinary.
Seven Passages of Discovery
Explora’s world cruise is thoughtfully divided into seven distinctive Passages — each a complete chapter in its own right, yet forming part of the greater whole.
These include journeys such as:
- Dubai to Singapore — A Passage through lands of ancient trade and modern marvels.
- Singapore to Sydney — Where east winds meet ocean horizons.
- Tahiti to Valparaíso — A Passage to rediscover lost horizons.
- Miami to Barcelona — A Passage through the mosaic of the Atlantic.
Each Passage offers unique cultural immersion and the chance to combine experiences — making this world cruise modular as well as monumental.
Why Endless Worlds Is More Than a Cruise
This voyage isn’t simply a way to circumnavigate the globe — it’s an invitation to see it with intentionality. The route traces ancient trade paths and navigates currents that have guided sailors for centuries. The result? A deeply resonant travel experience grounded in connection: to place, to history, and to self.
Whether it’s discovering Machu Picchu’s ancient mystery, witnessing the turquoise calm of the Cook Islands, or sipping espresso espresso near Barcelona’s sunsets, Endless Worlds leaves a mark far beyond the voyage itself.
