Seabourn has introduced a selection of new pre-, mid- and post-cruise “Seabourn Journeys” available to guests on the 2024 "Grand Africa Voyage." The land-based extensions during the Grand Africa voyage will allow guests to further explore Africa, with options including joining a safari to see Africa’s “Big Five,” dining and wine tastings, and visiting the Kariega Game Reserve (Settlers Drift), the Grootbos Private Nature Reserve and Onguma The Fort.
The fully escorted Seabourn Journeys have been curated to give travelers more time in these locations to showcase the destinations via excursions over the course of multiple days. Most of these land-based cruise extension packages include select meals, transportation and guided experiences for smaller groups ensuring intimate, personalized exposure to the location and its culture. Luxury hotels and lodges have been selected to offer guests accommodations at properties that showcase their surroundings and indigenous culture, with transfers between land and sea conveniently timed to the start or finish of scheduled Seabourn cruises.
Departing on November 30, 2024, Seabourn Sojourn will sail round-trip from Barcelona on a 90-day voyage that includes visits to 42 marquee and off-the-beaten-path destinations and cities in 20 countries, with seven overnight stays. For guests who cannot sail the entire voyage, shorter segments are available, giving guests more flexibility and opportunities to add pre- or post-journeys to extend their experiences. Shorter segments include the following:
- 27-day "Jewels of Northwest Africa" – November 30 to December 27, 2024, from Barcelona to Cape Town
- 17-day "Mozambique Channel Discovery & Zanzibar Nights" – December 27, 2024 to January 13, 2025, from Cape Town to the Seychelles
- 59-day "Northwest Africa to the Mozambique Channel" – November 30, 2024 to January 28, 2025, from Barcelona to Cape Town
- 22-day "West African Discovery" – January 28 to February 19, 2025, from Cape Town to the Canaries
Departures on most Seabourn Journeys are guaranteed with a minimum of just two guests. Additionally, the line offers a range of mid-cruise overland journeys that can become part of the overall cruise experience.
