EXPLORA III
5 Oct '26Cruise overview
Manhattan’s towering skyline fades to maritime horizons as EXPLORA III charts a course through waters where two nations meet the Atlantic in dramatically different ways.
This thirteen-night odyssey reveals contrasts that surprise at every turn: from Maine’s lighthouse-crowned coastlines to the remote Magdalen Islands, where Acadian French echoes across windswept shores. The Bay of Fundy’s legendary tides give way to the pristine wilderness of Mingan Archipelago National Park, where ancient limestone monoliths rise from protected waters like nature’s own cathedral spires. Days at sea aboard this intimate vessel become moments of quiet luxury between encounters with places that feel wonderfully removed from the familiar.
The journey crescendos in Quebec City’s fortress walls, where European sensibilities have flourished for centuries in North American soil. Here, cobblestone streets and morning café au lait provide the perfect denouement to a voyage that spans urban energy and coastal solitude with equal grace.
