Aqua Expeditions expands to East Africa

Tuesday, 10 Sep, 2024 0

Cruise line Aqua Expeditions is set to expand its fleet, with new destinations in the Indian Ocean.

Inaugural departures are slated for December 2025 in the Seychelles and Zanzibar, Tanzania with four different itineraries.

Expedition cruises will range from 5- and 9-night itineraries exploring Seychelles’ inner and outer islands respectively.

These can be combined together for a comprehensive 14-night exploration of the Seychelles archipelago.

These itineraries will rotate with 10- and 11-night sailings exploring both Seychelles and the Tanzanian islands.

Guests can expect a super-yacht experience with an exclusive 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio, personalised service, and small group expert-guided excursions.

While sailing Seychelles and Tanzania with Aqua, guests will have the opportunity to visit biodiversity hotspots like, Aldabra, Cosmoledo, Astove, Furquhar Atol, Kilwa Kisiwani, and Pemba.

The expedition cruises will also visit the African Banks which are rarely explored by other cruises in the region.

Thanks to financing from the International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group, these new destinations will be served by an all-new ship.

“It has always been a dream to venture into East Africa and explore this part of the world on a luxury expedition ship,” said founder and CEO Francesco Galli Zugaro.

“I am so excited to finally be able to showcase to our past guests the beauty of the Indian Ocean.”

In the past two decades Aqua has grown to eight destinations with three river ships and two superyachts.

“At Aqua, we’ve always been inspired to visit destinations that are off the beaten track. It was inevitable that our journey would eventually bring us to Africa,” Galli Zugaro added.

Further details about Aqua’s upcoming sixth vessel will be shared soon.
