35-Day Grand World Voyage

Mar 22, 2027 – Apr 26, 202735 nightsCape Town to Rotterdam

1 / 24

Luderitz

Namibia

In 1883, a German businessman, Adolf Luderitz, purchased a parcel of land enclosing a small bay for purposes of speculation. The so-called Skeleton Coast had limited potential in many ways, being largely made up of the shifting sands of the Namib Desert.

Cape Town

South Africa

Day
1
Date
Mar 22, 2027

Nestled at the foot of Table Mountain and flanked by Devil's Peak and Lion's Head, Cape Town is known by South Africans simply as 'the Cape,' an acknowledgment of its uniqueness and its status as the Mother City.

Walvis Bay

Namibia

Its name in Afrikaans means "Whale Bay," but those days are long gone. Today its dramatic setting is inseparable from any impression of this deep-water port on Namibia's desolate, but beautiful "Skeleton Coast." Here the undulating dunes of the Namib Desert meet the sea, and its lagoon is spangled with white pelicans,...

Jamestown

Saint Helena

Pressed between steep volcanic cliffs and the waters of James Bay, Jamestown stretches inland along the narrow floor of James Valley on the northwestern coast of Saint Helena.

Dakar

Senegal

One of the most vibrant and cosmopolitan African cities, the Senegalese capital bears many visual reminders of its past as a French colonial outpost. Despite the Parisian-style boulevards and buildings, however, there is a distinctly African feel to the city.

Praia

Ilha de Santiago, Cape Verde

The Cape Verde archipelago consists of 10 islands-ranging from flat as a pancake to steeply volcanic-that lie in the Atlantic some 570 kilometers (350 miles) west of Senegal. For a country in the middle of nowhere, it's been a center of commerce since the 16th century.

Mindelo

Cape Verde

There's something wonderful about visiting a place many people have barely heard of and would have trouble pinpointing on a map.

Santa Cruz (Tenerife)

Canary Islands, Spain

Tenerife is the largest of the seven main islands, which comprise the Canaries. Beyond its quaint whitewashed villages, the Canary Islands' eternal spring keeps flowers, fruits and vegetables growing year-round. From Tenerife, you can travel up through pine forests to Mt.

Las Palmas

Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain

Las Palmas is a large Spanish city, which just happens to be on the island of Gran Canaria. That fact adds the exotic, slightly African and international flavor to the place.

Arrecife

Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain

Lanzarote is the northernmost of the Canary Islands, often known as "volcano island." Its capital is Arrecife, a quiet town of about 30,000 inhabitants.

Casablanca

Morocco

Casablanca is Morocco's largest city and its most important port. While Rabat is the country's official capital, Casablanca is its economic and cultural hub, the place where Moroccans go to make it big.

Lisbon

Portugal

The great period of "the Discoveries" accounted for phenomenal wealth brought back from India, Africa and Brazil by the great Portuguese navigators. Gold, jewels, ivory, porcelain and spices helped finance grand new buildings and impressive monuments in Lisbon, the country's capital city.

Leixoes (Porto)

Portugal

The commercial center of northern Portugal and hub of the port wine trade, Porto is a gracious, cosmopolitan city noted for its 12th century cathedral and medieval churches, picturesque narrow streets and wine lodges at Vila Nova de Gaia.

Bilbao

Spain

Straddling the banks of an estuary opening into the Bay of Biscay, Bilbao is the largest city in Spain's northeastern Basque Country. Its earliest beginnings are preserved in the Casco Viejo, seven medieval streets that used to be guarded by walls.

Bordeaux

France

Bordeaux is the starting point for many exciting excursions into the surrounding wine country. The patricians of Bordeaux have always been merchants and shipbuilders. Under the Romans the city had a flourishing trade with Spain and Britain.

Cherbourg (Normandy)

France

In the 20th century, Cherbourg's biggest claim to fame was perhaps that it had been a vital port during the Allied forces' D-Day invasion, which landed to the southeast and traveled overland to capture the well-defended city from the Germans.
