Port Details
Lisbon
 |
One of the oldest cities in the world, Lisbon is rich in architecture and criss-crossed by monument-studded grand boulevards. Must-sees include the church of Igreja de Sao Vicente de Fora, which dates back to the 12th century; Musee Calouste Gulbenkian, one of Europe’s leading fine arts museums; and Torre de Belém, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most famous monuments in Portugal. |
Portimao
 |
What could be better than the breathtaking scenery of Portimão? This, maybe: the Autodromo Algarve Racing School puts you behind the wheel on a F1 track. Not your style? Try Praia Grande—a stunning beach complete with a 16th century castle. Want more? Tour an award-winning winery, tee off at a championship golf course, or dine on the freshest seafood you’ve ever tasted. What could be better? |
Casablanca
 |
Rub elbows with locals in the historic Old Medina, take in stunning views of ancient minarets, and discover Morocco’s largest and most progressive city. |
Agadir
 |
With its breathtaking beaches, clean modern aesthetic, and traditional Berber history, Agadir is unlike any seaside resort destination you’ve ever encountered. |
Banjul
 |
It’s referred to as Africa’s Smiling Coast. Not only because it’s home to the mouth of the Gambia River, it’s also because the locals are famously friendly and eager to share their colorful culture with visitors. Head to Albert Market for an authentic look, touch, and taste of local life, and head to a nature reserve where you’ll find the closest tropical forest to Europe. |
Abidjan
 |
Discover “the Paris of West Africa”. One of Africa’s largest cities (and the second largest French speaking city in the world), Abidjan is a modern city with its own distinct tropical soul. Explore FurtherSM through ten districts that each reveal a different aspect to this vibrant former capital. From authentic open-air markets to thriving business districts, you’ll find something for every travel style in Abidjan. |
Takoradi
 |
Ghana’s third-largest city, Takoradi seamlessly blends laid-back beach vibes with exciting urban energy. Market Circle is the hub of activity, and home to delicious street food. Beautiful seaside resorts are close to port, and the surrounding area offers an in-depth perspective on the region’s slave trading past. |
Luanda
 |
Along a half a moon-shaped bay on Africa’s rugged western shores, you’ll discover Luanda, Angola’s shining capital. Blending a colonial past with modern construction, Luanda is home to towering memorials, UNESCO World Heritage sites, meandering oceanside promenades, and ornate churches. |
Walvis Bay
 |
Perched across from beautiful Pelican Point, Walvis Bay is naturally sheltered from the rugged surf stretching north up Namibia’s coast. Venture inland for an exotic African safari, stroll the Esplanade and see echoes of a German colonial past, or relax on the boardwalk at a cozy cafe or restaurant with sweeping views of the harbor, massive lagoon, and calm waters home to diverse marine life. |
Luderitz
 |
Discover a quaint fishing village with a colorful German colonial vibe and a rich history rooted in the diamond rush. From the rugged, scenic beauty of the windswept South Atlantic shores, to the vast Namib Desert and ghost towns disappearing in the sands of time, Luderitz is a hidden gem with a quirky and fascinating history waiting to be explored. |
Cape Town
 |
Journey to South Africa’s Mother City and experience the vast beauty of a land shaped by two oceans. Stunning mountainscapes and miles of coast provide limitless outdoor adventure, while world-renowned restaurants, a booming LGBTQ community, and the outlying Cape Winelands make Cape Town a contemporary, cosmopolitan city with a global feel. |
