Explora Journeys has announced the opening of the first-ever Buccellati boutique at sea on EXPLORA II. This exclusive boutique offers guests the chance to explore and purchase Buccellati's fine jewelry.
The partnership between Explora Journeys and Buccellati brings together two brands committed to luxury and sophistication. EXPLORA II, a ship embodying maritime elegance, found an ideal match in Buccellati, a symbol of Italian craftsmanship and heritage. Known for its precise artistry and revival of traditional goldsmithing methods, Buccellati has represented Italian excellence for over 100 years.
Established in Milan by Mario Buccellati and guided by his descendants Gianmaria and Andrea, Buccellati is renowned for creating jewelry that transcends mere adornment to become art. Each piece reflects the brand's commitment to tradition, innovation and timeless beauty, making it a fitting choice for EXPLORA II's luxurious environment.

Both Buccellati and Explora Journeys share a dedication to elegance, creativity, and cultural enrichment. This partnership not only enhances the shopping experience on board but also enriches the cultural and artistic ambiance of EXPLORA II, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the world of fine Italian craftsmanship."
Guests can explore the Opera Tulle collection, which blends ancient goldsmithing techniques with modern sophistication, featuring semi-precious stones and enamels. The Macri collection, inspired by Maria Cristina Buccellati, Communication Director and daughter of Gianmaria, showcases textured gold and diamond pieces with intricate engravings and elegant bombé elements. Lucrezia Buccellati's Blossoms collection offers floral-inspired jewelry. The Blossoms Colour collection expands on this theme, introducing vibrant semi-precious stones and gold-plated bezels, incorporating colorful stones and brown diamonds into pendants and bracelets.
The Buccellati boutique will be available to guests on EXPLORA II starting from its maiden voyage on September 16, 2024, departing from Civitavecchia, Italy.
