A proposed 30-day reverse-diaspora voyage from New Orleans and Liverpool to Accra, retracing the transatlantic slave-trade route in the opposite direction.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The proposal divides the journey into four movements: departure ports, an eight-to-ten-day Atlantic crossing, shared travel through West Africa, and six days of festival programming in Accra. It names Scenic Ikon and Scenic Eclipse II as the vessels and describes the two passenger communities meeting in Dakar before continuing as one fleet. The programme also includes genealogy workshops, remembrance ceremonies developed with traditional authorities, Africa–Diaspora Investment Forums, and HBCU Executive Circles. The page presents November 2028 as the target date, but does not expose pricing or confirmation details.
