President Frank Del Rio said: “These longer, destination immersive voyages offer curious, well travelled guests the chance to explore some of the most off-the-beaten-path ports in the world, all from the elegant surroundings of Riviera.
“Sailing from Europe to Asia via both coasts of Africa is a true bucket list journey, combining iconic cities and unknown gems with our incredible onboard service and the best value in luxury cruising. These voyages are hard to resist.”
