Discover West Africa from the desert stars to the medina bazaars. Sail with Swan Hellenic on board their largest expedition ship
Embark on an extraordinary journey along one of the world’s least-explored coastlines, where ancient traditions meet modern vibrancy, and natural wonders unfold at every turn.
Choose between two unforgettable itineraries: An 11-night voyage from Cape Town to Luanda invites you to explore Namibia’s Skeleton Coast, where ghost towns whisper tales of the past and Walvis Bay’s wetlands teem with flamingos. Watch for seals basking on remote beaches and explore abandoned diamond towns reclaimed by desert sands.
For a shorter but equally fascinating adventure, sail from Senegal to Morocco over 7 nights, discovering West Africa’s rich cultural tapestry. From Dakar’s bustling medina to Casablanca’s architectural splendour, experience the transition from the vast Sahara to vibrant and bustling Morocco.
Both journeys feature expert-led expeditions and world-class cuisine, all within the stylish setting of the 5-star SH Diana. What better way to experience the wonders of Africa’s incredible western coast?
