Like the Azores but even more remote, the Cape Verde Islands are an intriguing archipelago located off the coast of Senegal. They are an amazingly varied group of islands that have been used as a staging post by mariners through the ages. From these volcanic landscapes to the historic ports of Morocco, this fascinating voyage follows a little-travelled route along the Atlantic coast of Africa, linking vibrant island cultures with ancient trading cities and dramatic desert shores. Travelling aboard the all-suite MS Hebridean Sky, we have the privilege of exploring regions that remain refreshingly uncrowded, where centuries of maritime history, African, Portuguese and Berber influences, and striking natural beauty combine to create an endlessly rewarding journey.
During our time in Cape Verde, we will discover Sal’s salt pans, the lush mountain scenery and agricultural valleys of Sao Nicolau and Santo Antao, and the colourful colonial streets and rich musical traditions of Sao Vicente. On Santiago we can learn of the archipelago’s complex past in Cidade Velha, a UNESCO World Heritage Site which was founded by the Portuguese in 1462 and is the oldest settlement in Cape Verde. Leaving the islands behind, we then cross the Atlantic waters to the seldom-visited shores of Western Sahara, where vast dune landscapes, remote settlements and a unique cultural heritage provide an intriguing contrast. Continuing north, the volcanic wonders of Lanzarote offer an extraordinary natural landscape shaped by fire and celebrated through the visionary work of César Manrique.
Our journey concludes along Morocco’s Atlantic coast, where bustling souks and magnificent monuments reveal the country’s rich history and enduring traditions. From Agadir’s historic fortress to the artisan workshops of Safi or the atmospheric streets of Essaouira to the grand Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, our final few days are a fitting conclusion to our voyage that combines some spectacular scenery, fascinating history and authentic cultural encounters. With the MS Hebridean Sky as our base and accompanied by just 100 fellow travellers, our cruise promises to be a most memorable experience and unique opportunity for those who enjoy visiting out of the way islands and ports where tourists are a rarity.
