Sankofa: The Return

Field notes

Sankofa describes two ships converging on Dakar before continuing as one fleet to Accra. The proposed 30-day itinerary separates departure-port preparation, an eight-to-ten-day Atlantic crossing, shared West African travel, and a six-day Accra festival. Its onboard programme includes genealogy workshops, remembrance ceremonies, healing arts, Africa–Diaspora Investment Forums, and HBCU Executive Circles. The homepage lists November 2028, a 498-passenger capacity, and a 3,500-nautical-mile crossing, while presenting participation as nomination-based.
