Africa itineraries

[Sued]

Does anyone know if there are plans to include Africa itineraries for non expedition  cruises?  For years there was great choices out of Capetown.  Thanks.

I did this itinerary along the west coast of Africa several years ago on Wind or Cloud.  It was a fantastic cruise, with stops at many ports along the coast.  I wonder if these itineraries were removed when Silversea moved its smaller classic ships (Wind/Cloud) to the expedition fleet.  It may be that some of the West African destinations simply do not lend themselves to quality tours with larger groups that would be involved if the used Whisper/Shadow, not to speak of Spirit/Muse.

We just did the west African ports on the penultimate segment of the world cruise on the Whisper.  While we did not visit as many ports as the Cloud did, we had an amazing time.  Take a look at the 2020 and 2021 world cruises to see which ports they will be visiting.  While you might not be able to make reservations for just a segment or two right now, space might open up when you are within 120 days of departure.

Unfortunately, I do not believe either of these world cruises travels up the west coast of Africa.
