Pilkington's Preferred Cruises
While I love all that is involved in land-based travel, I have grown to love cruises. After months of working hard, when you're greatly in need of a vacation, you unpack once, and everything is taken care of for you.
You may not spend a long time in one given place, but you get a taste of many different locations on a cruise. See it as a preview, and then you can plan a future trip to return and explore more in depth!
Sailing on Explora I changed my perspective on cruising, even after many previous cruises. Read about my experience here!
On 1 August 2023, EXPLORA I departed on her Maiden Journey, sailing from Copenhagen, Denmark on an epic 14-night journey through seven captivating destinations with a two-night stay in Reykjavik, before returning to the Danish capital.
This marks the start of a series of itineraries spanning three continents, offering guests cultural immersion and an opportunity for inner and outer discovery on their quest to the Ocean State of Mind.
