Spend nine full days exploring the stunning Seychelles Archipelago before visiting the fascinating Comoros and Zanzibar Island. This program has it all—from spectacular snorkeling and diving (including two days at magical Aldabra Atoll) to cultural encounters and market visits. In the Seychelles visit Praslin Island, home to the amazing coco-de-mer palm, as well as La Digue. The rugged, volcanic Comoros Islands are home to endemic bird life and a delightful blend of cultures. Before concluding in Dar es Salaam, the voyage stops at Zanzibar. Here, look for the endemic red colobus monkey as well as Sykes' monkeys, bush pigs, and small buck.

MIT Professor Ronald Prinn ScD ’71 from the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, along with experts in local culture, botany, marine biology, and natural history, enlighten you throughout this voyage both on and off the ship.
