What to expect
The highlights of this cruise
Experience a memorable cruise from Rio de Janeiro via Cape Verde to Tenerife. Enjoy the South American lifestyle and the freedom that takes you places.
Pure Brazilian zest for life welcomes you in Rio de Janeiro. From here, the EUROPA 2 takes you to Salvador, whose enchanting historic centre has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Recife, spread acrose three islands, will show you its most beautiful sides on a boat trip*. With 39 bridges and 50 canals, the city likes to compare itself to romantic Venice. Afterwards, you can look forward to complete relaxation as the EUROPA 2 crosses the Atlantic and sets course for the Cape Verde island of Santiago: explore the imposing volcanic mountain range on a hike in the Serra Malagueta national park*. The next day, you will be greeted by Sao Vicente, where a jeep tour* takes you along the impressive north and south coast as far as Palha Carga beach. To round off your cruise, Gran Canaria appears on the horizon. Here you can experience the fascinating and protected Maspalomas Dunes* or stroll through the pretty lanes in idyllic Puerto de Mogan* before your cruise comes to an end the next day in the capital of Tenerife.
* The pre- and post-cruise programmes and shore activities are not included in the cruise price and are in the planning stage. Subject to change.
