The Aponte family records date back to the 17th century from which 300 years of sea-faring expertise, alongside an inherent passion and respect for the sea has developed. Indeed, the ocean and its influence on us as human beings sits at the very heart of the Explora Journeys brand. The oceans connect you with yourself, people and the places around you. It relaxes you, and creates an energy in you that inspires inner and outer discovery, broadens horizons and triggers new connections. All of this, creates an emotional connection that is powerful, transformative, yet universal.
