THE CRUISE EXPERIENCE PARTNER
Not the party ship. Not the retiree circuit. The right fit.
Meridian voyages sail exclusively aboard Explora Journeys — a genuinely different kind of luxury at sea.
WHY EXPLORA JOURNEYS
Luxury without pretension. Where every detail has been considered.
FOR TYPICAL FAMILY GETAWAYS
Mainstream Family Cruising
Big ships, big energy, something for everyone. A genuinely great time — if you are traveling with younger children, looking for nonstop entertainment, and want everything in one place. Just not what Meridian is about.
FOR TYPICAL RETIREE LUXURY
Ultra-Premium Traditional Luxury
White-glove service and beautiful ships. A very specific kind of elegance that many love — it just tends to attract a different crowd and a different pace than Meridian travelers are looking for.
A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE FOR MERIDIAN TRAVELERS
Explora Journeys
Luxury, not stuffy. Relaxed, not pretentious. Intimate ships. Refined dining. An elegance that never takes itself too seriously. The right fit for Meridian travelers almost exactly.
THE SHIPS
Designed with superyacht architects. Built for a different kind of traveler.
Carrying just 922 guests across 461 all-suite oceanfront residences, Explora sits in a rare sweet spot between intimacy and world-class scale.
