The islands of Cape Verde – formed by volcanic lava and sculpted by the Atlantic’s powerful surf – are home to pristine natural wonders and a mesmerizing mix of cultures. You can explore these treasures aboard Le Ponant on the all-inclusive “Faces of Cape Verde” cruise, a chance to truly unplug and let go. With landscapes ranging from luxuriant greenery to arid desert, your odyssey of eight days and seven nights begins in Mindelo, the main port of São Vicente. It is the birthplace of Ceséria Évora, a city of enchanting pastel colors and elegant colonial facades. South of the archipelago lies the island of Boa Vista, stretching its golden dunes as far as the eye can see, beckoning you to forget the passage of time. From one stopover to the next, savor living in the now on this legendary three-masted ship of more intimate dimensions, so you feel like you are on your own personal sailboat. Committed to nautical tourism that is ever more sustainable and exclusive, Le Ponant provides guests with tailor-made service and authentic, locally sourced cuisine.
