In the evening, Explora II’s Sky Bar served as the venue for the first-ever Vanity Fair Club event held aboard an Explora Journeys ship.

“We were honoured to host the Vanity Fair Club aboard Explora II during one of the world’s most iconic sports events,” said Nash.“The evening beautifully reflected the spirit of our brand – where every detail is considered, and each moment becomes a journey of connection, emotion and lasting memory.”

“Bringing the Vanity Fair Club to sea was a celebration of excellence in style, in hospitality, in human exchange and a beautiful intersection of our shared values with Explora Journeys,” added Marchetti.
