Horn is an adventurer, explorer and environmentalist, and his feats include crossing the Arctic, Antarctic and Amazon, as well as sailing solo around the world. He will work with the Explora Journeys team to develop adventure destination experiences and onboard enrichment programmes. 

Horn will also lead guests on explorations, and will join the inaugural Iceland and Greenland Journey, Arctic Geyser, Calving Glaciers, and Fiery Lands of Ice, sailing from Reykjavik to New York this September. During the journey Horn will take guests on two different hikes in remote areas of Greenland.

Guests can also join him for a seminar on Setting Goals and Being Resilient onboard Explora I, where he will talk about how he prepares himself for his extreme expeditions and the importance of drawing upon these practices in other aspects of daily life.

Horn said: “I am impressed by the sustainability initiatives of the cruise division of [Explora Journeys’ parent] MSC Group. Their dedication to innovation and technology aligns with my vision for a world in which we all have to adapt to an ever-changing environment. I am delighted to work closely with Explora Journeys to attain significant accomplishments, promote sustainability and create unforgettable experiences that connect us with nature.”

Explora Journeys chief executive Michael Ungerer added: “We are thrilled to welcome Mike Horn to the Explora Journeys family. Mike’s dedication to adventure and the environment fits perfectly with our brand values, and we’re excited to work with him to create unforgettable and sustainable experiences for our discerning travellers.”
