Itinerary & Excursions

16 Ports
9 Countries

A transformative journey of wildlife encounters, wine-country landscapes, and white-sand islands. Depart Portugal for an overnight in Madeira, then sail down West Africa, around the southern capes, and on to the Indian Ocean’s greenest islands and India’s irrepressible energy. A 42-day voyage balancing leisurely sea days with deep-dive discoveries — from Namibia’s golden dunes to the Seychelles’ turquoise seas, and Kerala’s black pepper and green cardamom.
