Corinthian II, pursuing a remarkable course encompassing the vast scope of Africa, will navigate the length of its Atlantic coast. This unique itinerary calls at ports and explores destinations largely unknown to most world travelers.

map-gbct.jpgWe embark in Cape Town. This lively port city was established near the Cape of Good Hope is the second most populous city in South Africa. Our voyage will take us to  practically every country along Africa’s west coast: South Africa, Namibia, Angola, Gabon, São Tomé and Príncipe, Cameroon, Benin, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Mauritania, and Morocco, to finally arrive at the Rock of Gibraltar and concluding in Seville. 

We will come to a deep knowledge of ancient cultures and tribal customs while exploring the geography of such destinations as  the towering dunes of Namibia and the rain forests of Gabon.

From the markets of Ghana and Senegal, to the medinas of Morocco, we will encounter wildlife and human culture in as rich in variety as is possible anywhere in the world.

Excursions

Aboard Corinthian II

All Inclusive Shore Excursions

 

Our cruise price includes all activities on terra firma, from guided tours and meals to special performances and in-country transportation. This reflects our philosophy that each leg of the journey is an integral part of the whole experience.

In creating a thematic itinerary, we ask, What gives a destination a sense of place? Is it the architecture? A statue in a museum? And what can cuisine tell us about a culture? Or music or dance? Each day invites our guests to explore these questions without their having to decide whether to spring for another indulgence. It’s all of a piece, a voyage of discovery.
