Explora Journeys Names Explora III in Barcelona
Explora Journeys officially named the Explora III in Barcelona on August 1, welcoming the brand’s first LNG-powered ship and marking the halfway point in its plan for a six-ship fleet.
The vessel was delivered ahead of schedule in Genoa on July 23, allowing an five-night Prelude Journey from Genoa to Civitavecchia before she arrived in Barcelona for the naming ceremony.
Godmother Cristina Ozores, a marine educator and National Geographic Educator, blessed and named the ship during the christening.
