St. Helena to Cape Verde

About This Itinerary

During sea days, the chances of encountering whales and other marine life, from flying fish to dolphins, are high. Witness the northbound spring migration of seabirds like Arctic terns and long-tailed skuas, who will join us in crossing the Equator - a true odyssey of the natural world! Our voyage starts in Jamestown, a uniquely situated city that offers much to see before we set sail. Enjoy the local British culture, tropical climate, and endemic birds of this remote volcanic island. We aim to sail along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the sprawling submarine mountain range that runs about 16,000 km (10,000 miles) from the Arctic Ocean toward the southern tip of Africa. Join us for stargazing on the aft deck, where we will show you the many highlights of the equatorial sky. All great journeys come to an end, and this adventure concludes here in Praia, Cape Verde.
