Itinerary Map





Ports of Call

Cape Town, South Africa
Once dubbed the "Tavern of the Seas," Cape Town is now more sedately known as South Africa's "Mother City." Here, a cable-car ride to the top of Table Mountain is in order, or a visit to the wineries and Cape Dutch buildings of Stellenbosch. If your African experience would be incomplete without a safari, head for Sabi Sabi Game Reserve.

Luderitz, Namibia
In the little coastal town of Luderitz, wiener schnitzel, beer and oompah bands lend a Germanic air to local festivals; and tribal Herero women wear missionary skirts along with their own towering cloth headdresses. Is this Africa, or is this Bavaria?

Walvis Bay, Namibia
The apricot-colored sand dunes behind Walvis Bay are populated by gemsbok, springbok, ostrich, brown hyena, the rare, long-legged desert elephant, and sometimes even cheetah-amazing for such an apparently inhospitable environment. Inching ever closer is the relentless Namib Desert.

Cotonou, Benin
Touring highlights abound, including the stilt-village of Ganvie; the World Heritage site of Abomey, once the great kingdom of Dahomey; and Ouidah, a voodoo center where you may buy a charm from a fetish-priest.

Banjul, Gambia
A beautiful characteristic of Banjul and Gambia is the extraordinary amount of color unabashedly on display—in the fabric of a headdress, the paint on a fishing boat, the skins of the exotic fruits on a marketplace stall and in the clothing of young children.

Dakar, Senegal
Dakar has emerged from the traditional western Africa as a contemporary Capital, with an abundance of galleries, artists' studios, museums, and festivals. Enjoy the shopping and unique crafts, or spend some time golfing, biking, or relaxing on its pristine beaches.

Mindelo, St. Vincent, Cape Verde
Nearly 400 miles off the coast of Africa, lies a handful of islands known as Cape Verde. The islands of Cape Verde range from steep and rocky, to flat and sandy. Enjoy harbor-side bars and shops of Mindelo. Although traces of the Portuguese culture are woven throughout, Mindelo's unique atmosphere is all its own.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands
Lush green banana plantations give way to pine forests, then a jumbled landscape of volcanic rock. Ahead on Tenerife is Spain's highest peak, Mt. Tiede, with a stupendous view from the top. When Columbus stopped by in 1498, Tiede was erupting, but it's now sedately dormant.

Funchal (Madeira), Portugal
The capital of Portugal's largest island, Funchal is a proud seaport with an abundant supply of historical monuments, charming squares and quaint streets. Whether it's the enchanting villages, awesome volcanic caves, beautiful beaches or breathtaking mountian views of the rugged coastline, there's something to see for everyone. Visit the island's vineyards to see the origins of the world-famous Madeira wine.

Casablanca, Morocco
Travel from Casablanca, the city of Bergman and Bogart, and tour to Rabat, Morocco's serene capital. In the south, on the edge of the Western Sahara, Marrakech is the city of souks, storytellers, snake charmers and the famed Koutoubia Minaret.

Cadiz, Spain
The charming old quarter in Cadiz makes it easy to see why the small town is frequented by Spaniards on holiday. Its intriguing ancient streets, delightful plazas and flower-filled balconies make exploring a must. Along the way, restore your energy at any of the mouth-watering tapas bars offering some of the country's finest seafood and typical Andalucian cuisine.

Lisbon, Portugal
Also known as Lisboa to the native Portuguese, Lisbon has earned its title as capital of Portugal. See why this city reigns above all others as you stroll along elaborate mosaic sidewalks and pass by the Monument to the Discoveries. A quick trolley ride transports you to the cobblestone district of Baixa. Or if you choose, be lured off and pampered in the resort cities of Cascais and Estoril.

Paris (Le Havre), France
Tour from the port to the beaches of Normandy, moving reminders of D-Day landings. Or take off for a day in Paris and view the City of Light from the Eiffel Tower or a Seine cruise.

Dover (London), England
In Canterbury's medieval cathedral, see where Thomas Becket met his tragic end. Tour on to London, shop in stylish Knightsbridge, hop aboard a double-decker.
