The line is set to begin operations in 2023 with its first ship Explora I and plans to have four ships on the seas by 2026.
Explora’s chief executive Michael Ungerer said joining Abta was an “important next step” for the brand’s coming-to-market strategy.
Chris Austin, chief sales officer, said gaining Abta membership was “a significant move for our vision and purpose” and would help provide agents and their clients “with ultimate confidence and guidance” when booking.
