The EUROPA 2 will welcome you aboard in Santa Cruz for a fantastic cruise across the Atlantic. Head out on an excursion* from here to explore Teide National Park or take an all-terrain vehicle tour* across the romantic island. After two relaxed days at sea, you’ll reach the first Cape Verde island on your route as you arrive in Mindelo on Sao Vicente, where Portuguese colonial style meets African flair. An off-road jeep tour* will take you to an array of magnificent views of the uninhabited neighbouring islands and to impressive mountain ranges and volcanic craters. On Santiago, the main island of Cape Verde, two mountain ranges offer inviting prospects for hiking. Explore Praia, the capital and largest city of the archipelago, where a lively atmosphere fills the streets. Take an excursion* to the Serra Malagueta national park* to explore the green side of Santiago and see for yourself why the hikes in this area are considered the most beautiful on the island. The next morning you’ll reach the island of Santo Antao – a real paradise for walkers, dominated by mountains, wind and water. In the island’s capital, Porto Novo, you’ll experience the typical leisurely lifestyle of Cape Verde. After two relaxing days at sea, you will set sail again for the Canary Islands with their picturesque ports and spectacular lava landscapes. La Palma is considered the “isla bonita” of the Canaries, the most beautiful island, and it will enchant you with its diverse vegetation. Enjoy San Sebastian on La Gomera the next day and explore the colourful landscape on an island tour*. On El Hierro – the smallest of the Canary Islands – you’ll experience another highlight and paradise for hikers, mountain bikers and diving enthusiasts, before your unforgettable cruise comes to an end in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
