G Adventures announced is first ever cruise programme to the region in 2013 with its M/S Expedition, providing clients an easier way uncovering West Africa’s unique and varied historical, cultural and natural landscapes in relative comfort and style. There will be three itineraries on offer that visit more than 10 African nations in April 2013 which have gone on sale this week.
Available itineraries are 12- day Accra to Dakar, 18- Day Cape Town to Accra and 27-Day Cape Town to Dakar and the new expeditions are among the first of their kind in the region, with ports including Ghana, Senegal, Benin, Cameroon and Togo.
“The programme is ideal for expedition cruise enthusiasts seeking fresh experiences, “says Jeff Russill, G Adventures vp of innovation. “ It will also appeal to those who have not sailed before and want the convenience of experiencing West Africa by sea instead of land”
“This is a really exciting step for us. These countries are emerging destinations, little known and rarely explored by travellers. Expedition-style cruising is perfect for this region as it means our guests are safe and comfortable onboard, and local communities will benefit from the ports of call ,” adds Russill
