Christmas Expedition Cruise To Cape Verde & The Bissagos Islands

13 Day Dakar to Dakar


Festive adventure
 
Your special Christmas adventure begins in the colourful streets of Dakar. You’ll travel to two island archipelagos filled with historic sites, contrasting cultures and stunning landscapes. Our final stop before returning to Dakar is Banjul, Africa's smallest capital city.

Island life
Explore the amazing volcanic landscapes of Cape Verde as we cruise to Santiago, Fogo, Santo Antão and Boa Vista. Watch for hundreds of different bird species as well as rare saltwater hippos, manatees and more in the Bissagos UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. We’ll also meet the Bijagós people, who retain their nature-based spiritual beliefs and traditional culture.
