Will there be a Grand Africa in 2024

[wesport]

Just curious if HAL will do the Grand Africa in and out of Fort Lauderdale in 2024. Is this a popular itinerary? Nothing yet from what I can see on the website. Seabourn has one scheduled, but it’s also very expensive.

The schedule is out to May 1, 2025, so if its not on the schedule, the answer would be NO.

There will be no Grand Africa any time soon after 2023.

Any idea why? The itinerary on the "half" voyge, up the coast of West Africa, looked amazing.

This is a very unique itinerary and may not have the marquee value of a round Australia, round South America, or extensive European cruise. Personally, other than Capetown, or Durban/Port Elizabeth (where I have relatives) - I have no desire to see any of the African ports - other than Morocco or Libya.

I was seriously considering this for 2025; it would be much cheaper to visit the west African ports on this cruise than it would be to fly to them and to stay in hotels -- not to mention much safer (aside from the risk of pirates).
