Explora Journeys: the “Journey Together Gatherings”
Explora Journeys announces the creation of another group travel program designed to expand travel opportunities dedicated to groups of friends or family members. The new program, Journey Together Gatherings, joins the two Journey Together programs already launched.
With the Journey Together Gatherings program, by booking at least three or a maximum of four suites, including one in the Ocean Penthouse or Ocean Residence category, groups will be able to take advantage of this space as a hub for gathering, relaxing and spending time together in a private setting. Travelers with children will enjoy complimentary travel for one minor child per suite, and transfers to the ship will be free for all guests booked through the Journey Together Gathering program. Travel consultants will benefit from Explora Journeys‘ lucrative commissions.

Chris Austin, chief sales officer of Explora Journeys, commented, “I am delighted to welcome Cindi and Vilma to our global team responsible for charters and incentives, knowing that their experience will be critical to us in this important market. They will work in the MICE market implementing and introducing Journey Together programs to discerning travelers. The Journey Together Gathering program was born out of a collaborative approach with the travel consultant community, and we are really proud to be able to launch this program.”
