Explora Journeys Unveils Details of Shore Excursions for Explora I

Details of the first batch of shore excursions for Explora I, the first of up to six luxury ships to join Explora Journeys’ fleet, have been released.

As part of its first Northern European collection, the luxury brand of the MSC Group will offer eight distinct sailings, stopping at places including Copenhagen, Edinburgh, Leknes, and Isafjordur.

Visitors will have the opportunity to participate in a narrated Nordic walking tour in Norway, and in Molde, a Viking ship will transport visitors to a fishing town from the 18th century.

In addition, visitors will have a kayak tour around Copenhagen, Denmark, and stop by a migratory dune in Grenen. In Iceland, you may take a helicopter ride above volcanic craters or go swimming in the turquoise lagoon.

Visitors can partake in a woodland hike, meditation session, and lunch in the woods in Goteborg, Sweden. Visitors can also take a soul tram in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, which combines musical performances with sightseeing.
Visitors will have access to the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo and a special tour of a Scottish whisky distillery while they are in the UK.
