G introduces West Africa booking incentive

West Africa has been dubbed one of the hottest new cruise destinations and G Adventures is offering travellers keen on testing the waters an special early booking incentive. Guests booking the complete 27-day Cape Town to Dakar trip will receive a 25% discount (promo code: G12WAEBB25) and 20% (promo code: G12WAEBB20) will be offered to those booking the 18-day Cape Town to Accra tour or 12-day Accra to Dakar trip. All bookings must be made before June 30. The 140-passenger Expedition, owned and operated by G Adventures, takes passengers up the coast of West Africa in April 2013. It stops at some of the least visited and most unexplored places on earth, with expert guides onboard to ensure guests make the most of the nature and culture they discover on the way. G Adventures has picked the top five ways guests can experience the unusual during their West Africa cruise onboard the Expedition, by visiting: the Coffins of Ghana, a local fantasy coffin-maker in Accra; the Namibian city with no one, a German-designed ghost town in the desert just outside the port town of Luderitz; floating through a stilted village in Benin; discovering the African equivalent of the Galapagos, the Bijagos Archipelego off the coast of Guinea-Bissau; and visiting the slave-trading post of Gorée Island at Dakar, Senegal.
