This cruise is no longer listed (confirmed 2026-10-05).

Reason: The trade publication Cruise Industry News reported on 2026-08-21 that Explora Journeys told booked guests in a statement that it is cancelling its Middle East and Red Sea sailings for winter 2027/28 (part of the statement: "a careful review of deployment plans for the winter 2027-28 season"). The sailing was still in the official itinerary list as of 2026-10-05, and the cancellation could not be confirmed on the official website.
