First Buccellati jewellery boutique at sea to appear on Explora II

Founded in Milan by Mario Buccellati in 1919, the brand is renowned for its craftsmanship and revival of ancient goldsmithing techniques.

At the Buccellati boutique on board the Explora Journeys vessel, passengers will be able to discover and purchase some of the world’s most coveted jewelry.

‘The opening of Buccellati's boutique on Explora II represents a significant milestone in our commitment to luxury and refinement,’ said Koray Savas, VP hotel operations, Explora Journeys. ‘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.’

The collections

Passengers will find the Opera Tulle collection, which combines ancient goldsmithing techniques with modern sophistication, and semi-precious stones with enamels.

The Macri collection is inspired by Maria Cristina Buccellati, communication and marketing director and daughter of the late Gianmaria Buccellati who is credited with turning the family-owned business into a global name. It features richly textured gold and diamond pieces, showcasing intricate engravings and elegant bombé elements.
