Last month, Travelsavers and Nest celebrated their top-selling travel advisors during the 2025 Elite Retreat, which took place onboard Explora Journeys’ Explora I.
The week-long luxury sailing from Istanbul to Athens was designed to highlight the growing importance of authentic travel, which both networks identified as a leading travel trend for 2025. To that end, enriching destination experiences were key to the event.
In Syros, Greece, attendees explored coastal villages and merchant palaces. On the Greek island of Paros, they toured blue-domed churches and had the chance to go windsurfing, kitesurfing and swimming. In Bodrum, Turkey, visiting the ruins of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus was a highlight.
Onboard Explora I, one-to-one meetings, breakout sessions, cocktail parties and private performances provided ample opportunities for advisors to strengthen connections with professional peers and preferred suppliers.
