Explora Journeys launches two new Ocean Wellness Retreats aboard Explore I and Explore II.
The series of immersive, one-day wellbeing programmes, offered exclusively on Grand Journeys, invites guests to elevate their travel through holistic wellness practices inspired by both Eastern and Western traditions, all while sailing across some of the world’s most remarkable ocean routes.
The Ocean Wellness Retreats offer a sanctuary of calm through practices such as Surya Shakti Yoga, pranayama, sound healing, Gong Baths under the stars, and guided reflection. Each retreat is thoughtfully designed to promote inner peace and emotional renewal, blending yoga, breathwork, sound sessions, and introspective techniques. Guests are welcome to attend multiple retreats throughout the voyage to deepen their experience.
During Grand Journeys, guests have the luxury of time and space – perfect conditions for personal transformation. The Ocean Wellness Retreats harness this special setting to offer deeper self-awareness, balance, and serenity, all framed by the soothing rhythm of the ocean waves.
The first Ocean Wellness Retreat will take place during Explora I‘s 18 October 2025 A Grand Journey of European Gems and Tropical Idylls sailing from Fusina (Venice) to Miami, which includes Mediterranean cultural gems and Caribbean escapes, while the second will take place on Explora II’s A Grand Journey between Sweet Mint Tea & Lava Caves itinerary, departing Barcelona 11 November 2025 for Bridgetown, Barbados, with stops in Tangier, Gran Canaria and other scenic ports before reaching the Caribbean’s lush shores.
All Ocean Wellness Retreats include a bespoke programme guided by top wellness experts, a 100% cotton yoga tote bag, organic hemp and cotton lavender-infused eye pillow, an Ocean Wellness booklet with insights and wellbeing practices, and a thoughtful turndown amenity to enrich the evening ritual.
