Aqua Expeditions will expand its fleet and itineraries in 2025 to include Seychelles and Zanzibar.

Inaugural departures are slated for December 2025 with four different itineraries for guests to choose from.

“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 Founder and CEO 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. Considered the Galapagos of Africa, this island group is home to hundreds of species of flora and fauna, and to some of the most amazing marine life in the world.”

Expeditions on board the explorer yacht will range from five and nine-night itineraries exploring Seychelles’ inner and outer islands respectively.
