EXPLORA Journeys has announced a new ‘Journey Together Gatherings’ program, which is designed to expand travel opportunities for extended families or friendship groups.
Journey Together Gatherings is designed to allow a group to enjoy either three or four suites together as a social hub to relax and enjoy each other’s company in a private setting.
To take advantage of Journey Together Gatherings, one suite is required to be either an Ocean Penthouse or Ocean Residence.
In turn, travellers with children will benefit from one under-18 in each suite sailing for free, as well as complimentary transfers to the ship for all guests booked through the program.
Journey Together Gatherings will be headed by newly appointed Charter & Journey Together Lead Cindi Occhuizzo, who brings her global travel and hospitality industry experience to Explora after 30 years in the travel industry, including with Disney Cruise Line and Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
She will be assisted by Charter Operations Expert, Vilma Moutsatsos.
“Designing our Journey Together Gatherings program has been a highly collaborative process with the travel advisor community,” Chief Sales Officer Chris Austin said.
“We are proud to launch this program targeting gatherings of friends and multi-generational families.
“I am delighted to welcome Cindi and Vilma to our global charters and incentives team and I know they will be great assets for us in this important market.”
Helping sell the Journey Together Gatherings program in Australia will be Gillian Seller, also formerly of Regent Seven Seas Cruises, who was recently appointed Sales Manager for the local market (CW 09 Dec 2022).
Explora Journeys also recently announced the inaugural itineraries of its second ship Explora II, which launches in the northern summer of 2024 (CW 07 Dec 2022), and is now open for bookings.
