Program and itinerary of this cruise
Through PONANT’s alliance with The Explorers Club, this voyage will feature maritime archaeologist Peter Campbell. Peter has led archaeological missions across multiple countries, exploring shipwrecks, aircraft, sunken cities, and underwater caves. His research delves into ancient navigation and evolving trade networks, examining how social, economic, and environmental changes, including piracy and climate shifts, have shaped these routes. His recent research surveys the southern coast of Tanzania, revealing the intricacies of Indian Ocean trade. Beyond underwater archaeology, Peter is also an expert in art crime investigation, directing the heritage crime program at Cranfield University. Embark with PONANT aboard Le Bougainville for a 13-day expedition cruise in the Indian Ocean. A chance to discover stunning natural environments, exceptional wildlife and UNESCO World Heritage sites loaded with history. From Victoria on the island of Mahé, you will first sail to La Digue, where a veritable picture-postcard of the Seychelles awaits you: palm trees, granite rocks, white sand and crystal-clear waters. You will extend these activities at sea and on land on the sublime Saint François Atoll. After a stop on the sublime Assumption Island, you reach the reach the Aldabra atoll, a pristine natural sanctuary listed as a Unesco World Heritage site. Further on, the small islands Astove will be an opportunity to snorkel and dive among bright-coloured sea life. Your next ports of call will provide opportunities to discover several of the wonders of Tanzania. You will explore the ruins of the 13th-century Swahili trading past of Kilwa Kisiwani, the small coral island of Misali as well as Pemba Island and its clove plantations and fantastic scuba diving.
