Ever imagined a cruise that feels more like a boutique hotel than a ship?
This week on The Travel Podcast, we're diving deep into the revolutionary world of Explora Journeys – a new luxury ocean travel brand that’s tearing up the cruise rulebook and attracting travellers who swore they’d never set foot on a ship.
