Explora Journeys presents fleet expansion and new luxury itineraries for the Brazilian market during Festuris

Explora Journeys, the luxury cruise brand of the MSC Group, announces its first-ever participation in Festuris 2025, one of the most iconic and important tourism events in Latin America, which takes place between November 6 and 9 in Gramado, Rio Grande do Sul.

Participation in the trade fair represents a strategic step towards consolidating the brand in Brazil, one of the most promising markets for the luxury segment. In this sense, the company aims to strengthen relationships with travel agents, tour operators, and strategic partners, presenting a concept that redefines luxury in ocean travel.

"Being at Festuris for the first time is a milestone for Explora Journeys and reflects our deep commitment to the Brazilian market," says Flávio Corrêa, Business Relationship Lead at Explora Journeys in Brazil. "We want to get even closer to our partners and show how we are creating a new category of luxury cruises," adds the executive.

During Festuris, Explora Journeys will be present in a joint space with MSC Cruises, a brand from the same group. The stand will feature an area dedicated to Explora Journeys, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the "Ocean State of Mind" concept and discover the contemporary luxury proposition, the design of its "Houses at Sea," and the personalized experiences that define the brand.

Announcements and highlights for 2026-2027:
Explora Journeys' main highlight during the event will be its global expansion. The brand will reinforce operations of EXPLORA III, scheduled for the European summer of 2026, expanding its offering of immersive and sustainable travel.

Furthermore, the brand highlights the new and highly anticipated itineraries running until 2027, with the arrival of EXPLORA IV and EXPLORA V to coveted destinations in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Northern Europe, and the Americas. These journeys are designed for travelers seeking authenticity, well-being, and a deep connection with their destinations. Exclusive trips, such as the one accompanying the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix, are also featured, reinforcing the brand's pillar of unique experiences.

"The arrival of the new ships allows us to offer an even richer curation of itineraries, connecting our guests to truly authentic experiences. Each trip is designed to be transformative, and we are excited to share these new features with the Brazilian market during Festuris," comments Corrêa.

During the event, the brand will also have an exclusive Black Friday offer, with selected itineraries up to 40% off. It will be a rare opportunity for discerning travelers to secure their next journey aboard ships that redefine the luxury ocean experience.
