Travel in city Dakar, Senegal

ITA Airways launched its first direct flight from Rome to Dakar, marking the airline’s expansion into sub-Saharan Africa with a new intercontinental route.

A flat tire. A medical situation. A tour that runs overtime. Any of these delays could prevent a shore excursion operator from returning guests on time to a port of call and risk the ship departing without them.

A group of passengers left stranded on a small African island after missing a boarding deadline finally managed to rejoin their cruise ship on Tuesday after chasing it for almost a week.

Cunard Line has rolled out the new itineraries, including two simultaneous world cruises to depart in January 2026.

Air France is upgrading its 12 Boeing 777-300ERs with the airline’s new long-haul business class product, a process that is expected to be complete by the end of the year. The aircraft will also get the same economy and premium economy seats as those found on its cutting-edge A350s.
