WEST AFRICA COAST & ATLANTIC ISLANDS CRUISE

Sail from Dakar’s vibrant markets to enchanting Lisbon, tracing the islands of Northwest Africa and the Atlantic. This enriching journey takes you through Cape Verde’s vibrant charm, the volcanic beauty of the Canary Islands, and the lush, subtropical landscapes of Madeira. Discover remote islands, hike through ancient forests, uncover local traditions, and experience a vibrant blend of European and African cultures on this immersive Atlantic expedition. In Cape Verde, explore Praia’s lively streets, rich colonial heritage, and bustling local markets, followed by a visit to the laid-back port of Palmeira. In the Canary Islands, La Palma boasts dramatic volcanic landscapes and scenic hiking trails through native pine forests, with iconic viewpoints like Mirador de la Cumbrecita and La Concepción, which reveal the island’s rugged beauty. Continue to Madeira, where the island’s lush mountain scenery surrounds the historic capital of Funchal. Enjoy sweeping views from Monte, explore cultural landmarks, and sample the island’s renowned wines in a setting that blends nature, history, and flavor. Between ports, relax at sea with expert talks, cultural tastings, and ever-changing ocean views. Conclude your voyage in Lisbon, a city of timeless charm, where tiled facades, classic trams, and riverside cafés offer the perfect finale to a journey rich in contrast, culture, and coastal beauty.
