Experience the interfaces of Europe and Africa on historical and new routes: “¡Bienvenido!” – Seville, the city of flamenco and the majestic Alcazar, can be easily explored on foot from the HANSEATIC nature’s central mooring point. Enjoy Andalusia’s nature on a cruise on the Guadalquivir. Gibraltar is a melting pot of cultures. After a tour to the Rock* or to the southern end of Europe* with the fortified city of Tarifa, North Africa is ready to be discovered. The Arab-Andalusian architectural style lends Morocco a fairy-tale feel as you discover Rabat*, the white royal city, or Casablanca – a drink in Rick’s Café is a must. Safi, the capital of ceramics, and its medina will enchant you just as much as Marrakech* and the lively Djemaa-el-Fna square. Adventures in the Atlantic lie ahead. Madeira makes you look forward to summer – on a tukxi ride* through Funchal’s lanes, a levada hike* or a cable-car ride up to Monte*. The island group of Madeira also includes the rarely visited Ilha Deserta Grande. If the authorities give the green light, the Zodiacs will take you ashore for a guided tour with a local ranger. Off the beaten track is Porto Santo, which you can discover on a hike* or an off-road adventure*. Hike, marvel and enjoy: the Azores offer you a varied programme of experiences. Santa Maria invites you to new ways of relaxing on a hike to the beautiful Formosa beach*. Whether it’s the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Angra do Heroismo* on Terceira or the wild highlands* with steaming sulphur springs – it’s rare to experience so many contrasts in one cruise.
