Luxury Ocean Travel
An ocean of new
Awaken Travels is a preferred partner for Explora Journeys, the luxury ocean brand redefining travel at sea — fewer guests, more space, and time to linger.
Discover further. Travel deeper. Linger a little longer.
Explora Journeys was built for travelers who would rather feel a place than check it off. Think all-suite ships, ocean-front terraces, and a handful of guests instead of thousands. As a preferred partner, we have real access to Explora for our clients — and we would love to plan yours.
The Explora difference
Everything about these ships is designed to give you more room to simply be.
Every stay is a suite
Every guest wakes to the ocean. Explora is all-suite, each with a private terrace or ocean-front view — space to breathe, not a stateroom to squeeze into.
A handful of guests, not thousands
These ships carry a fraction of the guests you would expect. No crowds, no lines, no hunting for a lounge chair — just room to actually relax.
Dining, and it is all included
Multiple restaurants across the ship, from Sakura’s Asian-inspired plates to a European gourmet marketplace — no set dining room, no rush, and no extra charge.
A wellness-first pace
An Ocean Wellness Spa, wide-open decks, and an unhurried rhythm built to help you discover further, travel deeper, and linger a little longer.

A few of our favorites to spark ideas. Ask us for current dates and fares — new sailings open all the time.
The Mediterranean, unhurried
Slow mornings on the Amalfi Coast and lesser-known harbors most ships sail right past. Fewer guests, longer stays in port, and a ship that feels like a private retreat.

Accessible luxury with an easy US departure. Sail from Miami into warm turquoise water, with all the space and calm Explora is known for.
