Explora Journeys will debut in Alaska in 2027 with Explora III operating voyages across the region from May to September.
The inaugural programme combines visits to Alaska’s glaciers, wildlife habitats and coastal communities with a range of small-group shore experiences led by local experts.
Highlights include helicopter excursions over the Juneau Icefield and Mendenhall Glacier, catamaran trips to Hubbard Glacier, wildlife encounters in Tongass National Forest, whale-watching experiences near Prince Rupert, and cultural programmes hosted by the Kitsumkalum community in the Great Bear Rainforest.
Other excursions include journeys along the Stikine River, coastal cruises from Seward and a heritage rail trip to White Pass Summit from Skagway.
The sailings are designed to showcase both Alaska’s natural landscapes and the communities shaped by the region’s maritime and cultural heritage.
Following its launch in July 2026, Explora III will become the first Explora Journeys ship to operate in Alaska. The vessel features 461 oceanfront suites, penthouses and residences, alongside new dining venues including Chef’s Table, Shore Club and The Cellar.
Bookings are now open for the 2027 Alaska season.
