Itinéraire
Votre aventure en un coup d'œil. Les moments forts de chaque journée, les activités incluses et les options supplémentaires pour rendre votre séjour inoubliable.
Begin your adventure in Portugal’s colourful capital
The Portuguese capital is rich in history and culture. Take a stroll along its hilly cobbled streets, hop on a canary-yellow tram for a panoramic viewpoint, and tuck into freshly baked pastel de nata at one of the city's decades-old bakeries. Explore the districts of Baixa, Bairro Alto and Chiado, where fado music drifts from open doorways, and pause for a drink at a lively neighbourhood square. Just outside the city, visit the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Belém Tower and Jerónimos Monastery.
After a day of discovery, board MS Fridtjof Nansen, settle into your cabin, and begin your adventure at sea.
Time to relax
Spend the next two days at sea enjoying the facilities on board MS Fridtjof Nansen. Relax in the hot tub and pool area, stroll the open decks, and grab a drink at the Explorer Bar & Lounge while chatting to fellow travellers.
The Expedition Team will be giving lectures and presentations, offering insight into what makes this part of the Atlantic so compelling.
It's also the perfect time to slow down, find a quiet spot to read, or simply watch the ocean from the observation deck.
Volcanic wonders and white beaches
Today we dock at the island of Gran Canaria. Explore the historic city of Las Palmas, located at the crossroads of three continents: Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Stroll through the laid-back streets of the Old Town, taking in cosmopolitan cafés, 16th-century architecture, and the Gothic pillars of Santa Ana Cathedral. At the end of the day, MS Fridtjof Nansen will be waiting to sail you onwards to your next destination.
Sailing the Atlantic Ocean
Your journey continues southwest towards Cape Verde, an archipelago over 350 miles off the west coast of Africa. These vibrant Atlantic islands are rich in culture and history. This is a time to enjoy the ship facilities, such as relaxing in the infinity pool and joining fellow travellers for leisurely dinners. The following day, head to the observation deck to watch the everchanging ocean landscape, or find a quiet corner to read, lulled into relaxation by the rhythm of the water.
Bid farewell in Cape Verde
Your voyage comes to an end on the island of Sal, where African and Portuguese influences blend with salt-flat landscapes and endless Atlantic horizons. Known for golden beaches, colourful culture, and over 350 days of sunshine a year, Sal is a warm and fitting finale to your crossing. Bid farewell to the Expedition Team and fellow travellers, and leave the ship with lasting memories of your journey from Europe to Africa.
