Comprising of 12 floating isles in a volcanic archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, Cape Verde (or Cabo Verde) promises a unique travel experience. Its prime location, 500kms from the coast of Senegal means that you can expect to experience a diverse Creole Portuguese-African culture, beautiful breathtaking scenic landscapes and powdery white sandy beaches.

On a luxury Cape Verde cruise you can island hop and soak up the sun and fantastic atmosphere.
