From the natural beauty of Cape Town to the colorful culture of Lisbon in Portugal this 31-night cruise is a spectacular journey from continent to continent. Embarking at Cape Town, we head up the West African coastline to explore its natural beauty, including the vast sand dunes at Swakopmund and Angola’s spectacular Serra da Leba road on the clifftops of Tundavala Gap. Our next stop at São Tomé focuses on sampling delicious local chocolate before we head north to Tema in Ghana. We continue our Ghanaian adventure in Takoradi, where a treetop walk takes visitors to the heart of the Kakum National Park, before heading north into the Atlantic, with stops at Cape Verde and the Canary Islands. In Madeira, whale watching and walks in lush tropical gardens are matched by the invigorating adventure of descending from Monte to Livramento in traditional basket sledges, before we encounter the relaxing charms of our final destination, Lisbon.
