Cruise Description |
Between two seas or between two continents, PONANT invites you aboard its ships for an Ocean Voyage punctuated with several ports of call. Between the tip of South Africa and the Spanish Mediterranean coastline, set off on a 26-day odyssey aboard Le Lapérouse. As the days go by, you can admire the waves from the upper deck, keep fit in the spa and make good use of the pool or the gym, share the daily life of the crew, discover sailing techniques and instruments, and enjoy a break from the hectic pace of life.
From Cape Town, you will head towards one of Namibia’s few port cities: Walvis Bay 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, home to many migratory birds.
In the secret lands of the Atlantic, off the coast of Guinea-Bissau, where the infinite blue of the ocean meets the lush green of the islands, a rare jewel hides: the Bissagos. In the heart of the archipelago, Kere is enchanting. In this preserved tropical Eden, the bungalows made from earth and straw blend into the idyllic setting and reflect the mindset of the islet: authentic and respectful of nature and people.
You will then reach Dakar, the Senegalese capital renowned for the appeal of its neighbourhoods, its cultural scene and its diverse natural environment.
Sail further north to reach the emblematic Canaries archipelago. After calling at Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where you will be able to discover the wonderful volcanic landscapes of Teide National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you will arrive in Arrecife on Lanzarote. This inspiring, enigmatic and mysterious island reveals itself in a captivating setting composed of majestic peaks, volcanic vineyards and pristine national parks. It is also renowned for its many volcanic tunnels and caves offering unique moments in a fascinating underground world.
Le Lapérouse will sail towards Morocco and you will enter “the white city” of Casablanca, which combines tradition and modernity. Here you will discover the impressive Hassan II Mosque, considered to be one of the largest religious buildings in the world. You will then sail along the Strait of Gibraltar and immerse yourself in the multicultural charm of Tangier.
You will sail towards Valencia, a city of remarkable architectural heritage and the last port of call on your journey along the African shores of the Atlantic. |
