Ocean Voyage: Dakar - Walvis Bay

Explore Dakar on Senegal’s Cape Verde Peninsula and discover a mix of heritage, local culture, and coastal scenery. Shop for regional products and sample local cuisine at Kermel Market. Learn about the legacy of the transatlantic slave trade at Gorée Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Venture to the Madeleine Islands National Park to observe native wildlife and rugged shorelines. Navigate Dakar’s varied districts and gain insight into the city's cultural and historical significance before boarding your ship.

Spend your time at sea enjoying the ship’s facilities and onboard programme. Unwind in the spa, work out in the fitness centre, or swim in the pool. Attend presentations, lectures, and live performances throughout the voyage. Browse the boutique and view professional photography displays on board. Head to the outdoor decks to take in ocean views and watch for marine wildlife. Enjoy a balance of recreation, learning, relaxation, and entertainment while crossing the Atlantic.

On the wild coastlines of Namibia, you will feel the force of the encounter between the infinite dunes of the oldest desert in the world and the tempestuous waves of the Atlantic Ocean. A natural port in the curve of a bay formed by an old river delta, Walvis Bay is protected from the whims of the ocean by the natural barrier of Pelican Point. It is a real refuge for migratory birds, where thousands of pink flamingos and Cape cormorants mix with one of the largest Cape fur seal colonies in the world. On the Namibian coastline, the seals make the most of the Benguela Current, cold and full of fish, which comes up from the Antarctic.
