Explora Journeys - Barter's Travelnet

Transforming Luxury Cruises into Ocean Journeys

"The ocean relaxes you and creates an energy in you that inspires inner and outer discovery, broadens horizons and triggers new connections. The ocean connects you with yourself, people and the places around you."


Welcome to Explora Journeys - where luxury meets transformation on the high seas.


The Explora Journeys story begins in Sorrento, where the dream of creating a truly exceptional luxury ocean travel experience was born. Founded by the visionary Aponte family, whose seafaring heritage spans centuries, Explora Journeys is the culmination of a lifelong ambition to redefine luxury cruising.


Inspired by the sea and guided by generations of maritime expertise, Explora Journeys offers discerning travelers an exquisite, modern cruise experience unlike any other. The itineraries are meticulously curated by the Aponte family themselves, ensuring every journey is infused with cosmopolitan energy and authentic experiences.
