Mediterranean in Morning Light: Seven Ports, One Voyage

Valletta at sunrise

Anyone seeing Valletta from the water for the first time immediately understands why the Knights of Malta built their fortress here. Explora I glides into the Grand Harbour at dawn as the bastions light up in gold.

Seven nights, seven ports – and yet there is enough time to truly arrive in each place: no rushed shore excursions, but room to explore.

Arrival in Saint-Tropez

We spend the final evening at anchor in the bay of Saint-Tropez. No programme, no excursions – just the light slowly turning warmer and the water spreading calm and turquoise beneath the ship.
