EXPLORA III, A DESTINATION IN ITS OWN RIGHT
At ALCAM TRAVELS, we present Explora Journeys as a new way of travelling by sea, where the ship itself becomes the destination. This concept is designed for experienced travellers who seek time, space and depth, and who view travel as an experience of wellbeing, personal discovery and constant inspiration.
A VARIETY OF ITINERARIES: A GLOBAL VIEW OF TRAVEL
Looking ahead to the 2026–2027 seasons, the brand presents new itineraries that broaden this global vision of travel, inviting guests to discover the world from the sea with a more unhurried, elegant and mindful perspective: from the Eastern and Western Mediterranean to Northern Europe, Asia, Alaska, or special itineraries such as Formula 1 in Monaco, each journey combines iconic destinations with less-travelled calls and extended time in port.
- Special mention goes to the NEW SHIP EXPLORA III, the newest vessel in the fleet, which will set sail for the first time on 3 August from Barcelona, reinforcing the brand’s positioning and expanding its capacity to offer even more sophisticated and personalised experiences (Northern Europe, Alaska, Asia, among others).
- ALASKA
Within this range of routes, we would like to place a special focus on Alaska, a region that is still little explored from the perspective of the luxury traveller, yet of enormous cultural, historical and scenic richness.
We would value the publication’s vision and editorial judgement, especially in the digital sphere, to understand which angles, narratives and formats work best with your audience: from cultural exploration and contemporary luxury, to wellbeing, the spirituality of travel, or the contrast between tradition and modernity.
TRAVEL IDEA:
A voyage of timeless charms and unspoilt landscapes
EXPLORA III- Vancouver-Vancouver | 13-24 August 2027
Cast off from bustling Vancouver, a dynamic metropolis framed by mountains and sea, to begin a captivating journey.
Venture into Alaska’s untamed terrain in Ward Cove, Sitka and Hubbard, where majestic landscapes and wild wonders await.
Be moved by the beauty of Seward and fall under the spell of Skagway’s historic charm. In Juneau, admire the glaciers and marine life as you prepare to explore nature in its purest state in Wrangell.
To conclude, return to Vancouver’s cosmopolitan jewel, a place brimming with urban sophistication, seasoned with a touch of natural splendour

THE FIRST-HAND TRAVEL EXPERIENCE: OUR COMMITMENT AT ALCAM TRAVELS
At Alcam Travels, we do not see ourselves simply as a travel agency; we are your personal advisers in the art of exploration. We define ourselves as a boutique agency, and we wear that label with pride. For us, travel is not about collecting destinations, but about immersing oneself in a transformative, deeply personal experience.
That is why, when we speak about Explora Journeys, we do not do so from a catalogue, but from first-hand experience. We are a boutique agency made up of travellers, and it was precisely through living the experience that we became genuine fans of the brand. Explora Journeys embodies our understanding of travel: relaxed luxury, unhurried time, generous spaces, exceptional gastronomy, and service that is deeply human and instinctively anticipatory. From the intimate design of its ships, with an outstanding crew-to-guest ratio, to its relaxation areas created for contemplating the horizon, every detail is designed to help you reconnect—with yourself and with the ocean. Having experienced it ourselves allows us to recommend it with absolute conviction and to support our clients with genuine knowledge, transforming every voyage into a truly memorable experience.
In fact, our own travel designers, Sonia and Rosa, had the privilege of being on board in September and can personally attest that this is an incomparable cruise line—testimony that fully underpins our recommendation.
For me, the true magic of Explora Journeys lies in its ability to orchestrate a singular experiential journey. It is not a simple transfer from one port to another, but an awakening of the senses that begins the moment you step on board. Attention to detail is the rule, not the exception.
One of the pillars of this experience is, without question, its refined gourmet cuisine. I have had the pleasure of enjoying menus that are true works of culinary art, where each dish tells a story—crafted with the finest ingredients and blending avant-garde techniques with authentic flavours from around the world. It is gastronomy designed for the most discerning palate, elevating every meal into a memorable moment.
And then there is the design and sense of intimacy. This is where the brand sets an insurmountable distance between itself and the rest of the industry. Explora Journeys’ ships have been conceived for a maximum of fewer than 900 passengers, yet they are supported by a crew of almost 700. This ratio is, quite simply, the defining hallmark of exclusivity—enabling you to enjoy service that is intuitive, discreet, and anticipatory.
I must also highlight the exceptional quality of its relaxation areas. I have spent unforgettable moments on its decks, and I can say with certainty that the positioning of its pools is designed to offer unique perspectives of both the horizon and the destination. These spaces make time on board truly incomparable, creating an oasis of peace and luxury that I have simply not found on other ships.
The personification of this luxury service is the in-suite butler. This is a detail that speaks volumes about the brand’s exclusivity. Having someone at my disposal dedicated to managing my every wish transforms the routine of travel into a constant indulgence. It allows me to free my mind and focus solely on enjoying the horizon, knowing that every need is met with the utmost professionalism.
Explora Journeys is, in essence, a product designed for those seeking something beyond the ordinary—something intrinsically exclusive. It is a floating sanctuary that offers the space, time and privacy required to reconnect with oneself and with the ocean.
At Alcam Travels, we have made this luxury experience our speciality. My team and I are here to guide you through the options, personalise your journey down to the finest detail, and ensure that your voyage with Explora Journeys is not merely a trip, but the adventure you have always dreamed of. Trust my knowledge and Alcam Travels’ commitment: your dream journey begins with our expert recommendation.
