Explora Journeys opens bookings for 128-day 2029 World Cruise from Dubai

Explora Journeys has opened reservations for a 128-day global voyage scheduled to depart in 2029 from Dubai, marking the longest continuous itinerary yet announced by the brand.

The sailing, titled Endless Worlds, will take place aboard Explora I and is scheduled to depart Dubai on January 6th, 2029, concluding in Barcelona on May 14th, 2029.

Over the course of the four-month voyage, the ship is expected to call at 63 destinations across multiple continents.

The itinerary has been divided into seven bookable sectors, allowing travellers to join for part of the voyage or complete the full circumnavigation.

Segment breakdown

• Dubai – Singapore: 20 nights
• Singapore – Sydney: 23 nights
• Sydney – Auckland: 14 nights
• Auckland – Tahiti: 17 nights
• Tahiti – Valparaiso: 14 nights
• Valparaiso – Miami: 21 nights
• Miami – Barcelona: 20 nights

Ports will include destinations across Southeast Asia, Australia, the South Pacific, South America, and North America, before the final Atlantic crossing to Europe.

Explora Journeys indicated that 44 of the scheduled ports will represent first-time visits for the line. Twelve ports will also feature overnight stays intended to provide extended time ashore.

Passengers will be able to embark or disembark at intermediate points, including Miami and New York, as alternatives to the full sailing.

“Endless Worlds is an invitation to experience the world as one uninterrupted story — a Journey that unfolds gradually, gracefully and with an emphasis on continuity,” said Anna Nash, President, Explora Journeys.

“In opening sales, we are inviting our guests to secure their place on a rare voyage designed around the true luxury of time,” she added. “Each Journey option reflects the signature values of Explora Journeys: unhurried discovery, cultural curiosity, intuitive service and a profound connection to the sea.”

The voyage will begin in the Middle East before sailing to Singapore, continuing to Australia and New Zealand, and then crossing the Pacific to French Polynesia and the west coast of South America.

The ship will then transit northward to the United States and complete an Atlantic crossing to Europe.

Explora Journeys confirmed that the cruise can be purchased as a single continuous journey or as individual segments. The company has positioned the sailing several years in advance of departure, a typical practice for extended world voyages that require long-term planning by guests.

The 2029 sailing represents a further expansion of the brand’s long-range deployment strategy, which has increasingly included extended global itineraries alongside shorter regional cruises.
