I disagree with the close vote. The question specifically excludes the Apollo missions, so needs a different answer.

Welcome to Space! Do you only want missions that happened after the last Apollo lunar mission in December 1972? After the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975? Or any mission not including Apollo? Please clarify the question, as it does matter.

@MagicOctopusUrn I don't read this like you do. He says 'since the apollo missions' so he means in the period of time beginning immediately after Apollo, until now. That A13 was the furthest distance from Earth traveled by man doesn't matter, the question specifies post-Apollo.
