Voyage overview
During sea days, the chances of encountering whales and other marine life, from flying fish to dolphins, are high. Witness the northbound spring migration of seabirds like Arctic terns and long-tailed skuas, who will join us in crossing the Equator - a true odyssey of the natural world!
Day 1: Heading out of St. Helena
Our voyage starts in Jamestown, a uniquely situated city that offers much to see before we set sail. Enjoy the local British culture, tropical climate, and endemic birds of this remote volcanic island. You can visit Longwood House, where Napoleon died in 1821, and even walk the 699-step Jacob’s Ladder if you feel ambitious. If you have more time, you can also go on small hikes or snorkeling in the shallows, seeing multitudes of tropical and subtropical fish.
Day 2 – 3: Sailing the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
Today we aim to sail along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the sprawling submarine mountain range that runs about 16,000 km (10,000 miles) from the Arctic Ocean toward the southern tip of Africa. Join us for stargazing on the aft deck, where we will show you the many highlights of the equatorial sky. Weather permitting, these celestial wonders can be seen with binoculars or even with the naked eye.
Day 4 – 8: Crossing the equator
Joining us across the equator are Arctic terns and long-tailed skuas flying their northbound spring migration. At this stage of the voyage, we will hope for good weather as we attempt more stargazing on deck, observing how the polar star becomes visible on the northern horizon.
Day 9 - 10: Sailing towards Ilhéus do Rombo and Sao Filipe (Fogo Island)
We will sail by Ilhéus do Rombo and Sao Filipe on Fogo Island, offering a chance to spot some of the Western Palearctic species. This provides an excellent opportunity to observe diverse bird species and enjoy the scenic views of the island from the water.
Day 11: The pleasures of Praia
We arrive in the town of Praia on Santiago Island, Cape Verde, and disembark after breakfast. Following disembarkation, the ship will begin preparations for the return journey towards its homeport in the Netherlands.
All great journeys come to an end, and this adventure concludes here in Praia. However, for those who wish to explore the area further after the voyage, there are several opportunities. One recommendation is a visit to the historic Cidade Velha, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This old city is home to a massive hillside fortress built to defend against English raiders of the past. Other notable sights include the oldest Christian church in the tropics and the historically important Pillory Square. Alternatively, you can simply wander the streets of Praia, soaking up the local atmosphere and enjoying the sounds of folk music drifting from the taverns.
