Oceania Cruises has added a Grand Voyage to its 2024-25 programme on board Riviera.

The 1,250-passenger ship will sail a 59-day Grand Voyage from Barcelona to Singapore calling at ports in the Canary Islands, Senegal, Gambia, Ghana, Namibia, Cape Town, Madagascar, Tanzania, Seychelles, Maldives, Thailand and Malaysia.

Departing on November 14 and concluding on January 12, 2025, the sailing, called A Tale of Five Seas, includes overnight stays in Walvis Bay (Namibia), Dar Es Salaam (Tanzania) and Singapore.

Passengers have the option of joining the whole Grand Voyage or joining for a section.

Passengers on the 27-day West African Rhythms itinerary will join at the start of the Grand Voyage and end in Cape Town on December 11 where passengers on the 32-day Colonial Crowns sailing will join for the remainder of the cruise.

All passengers will receive free round-trip airfare, transfers, drinks package and shore excursion credit under the line’s value promise, Simply More.

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.”
