Explora Journeys Luxury River Cruises Fleet Announcement
In one of the most exciting announcements in luxury travel, Explora Journeys has officially signed a Letter of Intent with renowned Dutch shipbuilder Den Breejen Shipyard for the construction of a brand-new fleet of ultra-luxury river ships.
This monumental move marks MSC Group's first foray into river cruising, taking aim directly at the highest tier of European river cruising currently dominated by lines like Uniworld, Tauck, and Riverside Luxury Cruises.

Frequently Asked Questions
Explora Journeys Expert Insights & FAQs
Yes. Explora Journeys officially signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with premier Dutch shipbuilder Den Breejen Shipyard to design and construct a brand-new fleet of ultra-luxury river cruise vessels, marking MSC Group's historic expansion into European river cruising.
The initial fleet is expected to navigate Europe's legendary waterways, including the Danube, Rhine, Main, and Moselle rivers, bringing Explora's signature 'Ocean State of Mind' and residential superyacht aesthetic to Europe's historic riverbanks.
Because inaugural river sailings will feature extremely limited suite capacity, demand is exceptionally high. Vincent Vacations is currently accepting pre-registrations to secure priority suite allocations the moment reservations officially open.
We recognize that cruise vacations are not just an investment, but often the highlights of our lives, and we take that responsibility seriously. We want to ensure you have the best vacation experience.
