Aqua Expeditions to offer East Africa itineraries with new yacht
Aqua Expeditions is set to expand its fleet in 2025 with new sailings in the Seychelles and Tanzania
Inaugural departures are slated for December 2025 with four different itineraries on offer. Expeditions onboard the explorer yacht will range from five- to nine-nights exploring the Seychelles’ inner and outer islands respectively.
These can also be combined for a 14-night exploration of the archipelago. The itineraries will rotate with 10- and 11-night sailings exploring both the Seychelles and Tanzanian islands.
“It has always been a dream of mine to venture into East Africa and explore this part of the world on a luxury expedition ship,” said CEO and owner Francesco Galli Zugaro.
“I am so excited to finally be able to showcase to our past guests the beauty of the Indian Ocean and the famous Aldabra Atoll. Few travellers have heard of or even seen this magical atoll that is home to over 150,000 giant tortoises.”
Aqua Expeditions to focus on ‘luxurious and sustainable’ travel
Since 2007 – when the brand launched with a vessel in the Peruvian Amazon – Aqua has grown to sail 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 African shores,” Galli Zugaro adds.
“We are pleased to bring our unique brand of small-ship expeditions to a third continent, with a focus on travel that is both luxurious and sustainable.”
