Explora Journeys has embarked on a ground-breaking new venture, joining forces with renowned contemporary art gallery, Clarendon Fine Art. This remarkable global collaboration aims to forge a sophisticated and exclusive onboard art experience across the expansive Explora Journeys’ fleet. Indeed, guests will have a unique chance to encounter and acquire breathtaking museum-quality artworks out on the open seas.
Their partnership made its grand debut at a private occasion hosted in the esteemed London-based gallery. As such, Clarendon Fine Art has the privileged position of being the sole concession partner across Explora Journeys’ fleet. Notably, it graces the beautiful Galleria d’Arte located on Deck 5 of both the luxurious Explora I and Explora II vessels.
In the spirit of roving adventure, Gilbert Park embarked on a solitary expedition across the amicable waters of Brittany. With a week’s schedule neatly packed with seven diverse ports and seven distinctive eateries, Park set sail on his trusty Mitchell 28 ‘Let’s Go’ from Plymouth to Northern France. His wife, Maire, set her own terms of engagement, indulging Parks’ aquatic passion by agreeing to join him later at St Malo for a gentle exploration of the area.
With little more than chirpy dolphins and occasional looming container ships for company, Park traversed a trek of about 100 miles before a respite at St Peter Port, Guernsey. Then, it was onwards to Jersey for a few days before homing to France. Bypassing familiar ports, he elected St Brieuc as the destination for his all-important passport stamp.
