The first area to be settled by Europeans in the 17th century, it is today a major seaport and the legislative capital of South Africa. The feeling here is not African but cosmopolitan, and a sense of history remains. ### Day 2: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 3: Luderitz, Namibia **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM 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. Then, in 1906, a local railway worker noticed an oddly sparkly stone beside the tracks. It proved to be a diamond, and it became clear that there were many like it lying literally on the surface of the sands. By 1909 a diamond rush was in full s... ### Day 4: Walvis Bay, Namibia **Arrives:** 12:00 PM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM 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, pink flamingos and other seabirds. Up the coast road is Dune Seven, the highest along Namibia's coast, and a great place to take off your shoes and feel some sand between your toes... ### Day 5: Walvis Bay, Namibia **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM Its name in Afrikaans means "Whale Bay," but those days are long gone.

Development and construction is fueled by extractive industries such as petroleum and diamonds. However over half the city’s residents live in poverty. It has for several years dominated the chart of the most expensive cities in the world for expatriates, outstripping such notorious places as Hong Kong and London. Like the rest of Portugal’s African colonies, Angola won its independence under force of arms in the mid-1970s. But the country immediately descended into a... ### Day 9: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 10: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 11: Sao Tome, Sao Tome & Principe **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM ### Day 12: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 13: Cotonou **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Cotonou is a large port city on the south coast of Benin, in West Africa. At the eastern end of central Boulevard St. Michel is the huge Dantokpa Market, which features religious items and spices alongside everyday objects. To the southwest, the 19th-century Cotonou Cathedral has a striking red-and-white striped facade. Nearby, in the Haie Vive district, the Fondation Zinsou museum shows contemporary African art. ### Day 14: Tema (Accra), Ghana **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM ### Day 15: Takoradi, Ghana **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM Takoradi is a very important and busy West African seaport on Ghana’s Cape Coast, a main transport depot for container ships and oil tankers. Two of the main tourist sites near Takoradi are the village of Nzulemo and the old Portuguese slave depots called “castles.” The village of Nzulezo, on Lake Tadane, is a stilt community inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its unique architectural and cultural characteristics. At Akatekyi, crocodiles play part in the activities of a fetish priest... ### Day 16: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 17: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 18: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 19: Dakar, Senegal **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM 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. Bankers and executives can be seen going about their businesses dressed in the flamboyant traditional Grand Boubou costume, and women wear the feminine version with an equally striking headpiece. The common language is French, although many... ### Day 20: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 21: Mindelo, Cape Verde **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM The most important city on the Cape Verde island of São Vicente, Mindelo originally thrived as a coal depot for steamships plying the Atlantic. With the advent of diesel engines, its importance waned, although it is still an important port for the maritime trade. The island is volcanic, dry and mostly low. The town has replica of Lisbon’s Belem Tower, located near the fish market, in an interesting part of the city. The late Cape Verdean singer Cesaria Evora started her career singing in the tav... ### Day 22: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 23: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 24: Las Palmas, Spain **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM 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. It played an important part in the early exploration and exploitation of Africa and the New World, some of which is recounted in the Casa de Colon Museum. Columbus may have slept there, but it was never his house. It was actually the mansion of early governors. Other museums of note are the Museo Canaria with a number of Cr... ### Day 25: Arrecife, Canary Islands **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM 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. Present day Lanzarote consists of two quite distinct massifs: Famara in the north, and Los Ajaches in the south, where centuries of erosion have sculpted abrupt cliffs and deep ravines, contrasting sharply with the smoothly rounded hills of the island's central region. ### Day 26: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 27: Casablanca, Morocco **Arrives:** 06:00 AM · **Departs:** 08:00 PM Casablanca, located on the Atlantic coast, is with 4 million inhabitants Morocco's largest city, and at the same time the largest port in Africa. Built on the site of ancient Phoenician Anfa, it remained a small fishing village for many centuries until the French arrived in 1912. Since then Casablanca has become a vast modern city, ever on the increase since Morocco's independence from France in 1956. A successful blend of oriental-style, white cubic dwellings with modern Moroccan quarters gives... ### Day 28: Tangier, Morocco **Arrives:** 09:00 AM · **Departs:** 07:00 PM Situated just across the narrow Strait of Gibraltar from Europe, Tangier has long comprised a hybrid culture that is nearly as European as it is African. Standing atop Cap Spartel, one can gaze down on the place where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean. The “Hollywood” district where the foreign embassies have traditionally been located reflects the European influence. But ascending the hill above the waterfront, one enters the narrow, winding alleys of the Kasbah, the city’s oldest, most Moro... ### Day 29: Cadiz (Seville), Spain **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 11:00 PM To taste the true flavor of this ancient port city, one should stroll its seaside promenade, pausing to rest beneath the huge banyan trees. The narrow, winding streets of the old town fan out from the port, leading you to sunny, palm-lined plazas. Visit the Catedral Nueva (New Cathedral), begun in the early 1800s but not completed for 116 years. Its dramatic, golden dome rises over a striking interior. For those who enjoy people-watching as much as sightseeing, the seafood restaurants along the ... ### Day 30: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 31: Lisbon, Portugal **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM 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. As you sail up the Tagus River, be on deck to admire Lisbon's panorama and see some of the great monuments lining the river. Lisbon is one of Europe's smallest capital cities but considered by many visitors to ... ### Day 32: Leixoes (Porto), Portugal **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM 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. It is clustered on hills overlooking a river, and is a northern European style city with granite church towers, narrow streets and hidden Baroque treasures. ### Day 33: A Coruna, Spain **Arrives:** 10:00 AM · **Departs:** 07:00 PM A Coruna is the largest Galician city with a culture uniquely its own, a rich folkloric tradition and its own language. Of historically remote origin, A Coruna has preserved a considerable heritage of monuments and ancient buildings, among which are Romanesque churches and a Roman lighthouse. Its most beautiful and original feature is perhaps the characteristic façade of its houses, which are completely covered by mirador windows. ### Day 34: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 35: St Malo (Le Mont Saint Michel), France **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 07:00 PM Saint-Malo is a port city in Brittany, in France's northwest. Tall granite walls surround the old town, which was once a stronghold for privateers (pirates approved by the king). The Saint-Malo Cathedral, in the center of the old town, is built in Romanesque and Gothic styles and features stained-glass windows depicting city history. Nearby is La Demeure de Corsaire, an 18th-century privateer’s house and museum. ### Day 36: Cherbourg (Normandy), France **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM The seaport and naval station of Cherbourg is situated along the English Channel northwest of Paris at the mouth of the Divette River. Believed to rest on the site of an ancient Roman station, Cherbourg has been occupied since ancient times and was frequently contested by the French and English in the Middle Ages because of its strategic location. Most recently passed to France in the late 18th century, the town was extensively fortified by Louis XVI. During WWII the Germans held Cherbourg until... ### Day 37: Rouen (Paris), France **Arrives:** 10:30 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM The capital of upper Normandy and fifth largest port in France, picturesque and historic Rouen is renowned as a treasury of medieval architecture. With a large part of the city destroyed during World War II resulting in massive postwar reconstruction, Rouen today appears as an interesting blend of ancient and modern. Fortunately, it has kept its medieval character with still-inhabited houses dating from the 15th century, which line its narrow cobblestone streets. Among the city's most noteworthy... ### Day 38: Rouen (Paris), France **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 01:30 PM The capital of upper Normandy and fifth largest port in France, picturesque and historic Rouen is renowned as a treasury of medieval architecture.
