Set sail for Africa on a voyage of exploration from Barcelona, Spain. There’s a chance to feel the volcanic sands of Lanzarote between your toes, and, in Tenerife, see one of the most famous works by the architect Santiago Calatrava, his striking Auditorio de Tenerife, its roof shaped like billowing sails. You'll also visit the bustling city of Las Palmas, on Gran Canaria, where you can learn about the plants used as traditional Spanish natural remedies, before we say goodbye to Europe. Now, we cross the ocean to touch land in Africa at Porto Praia for yoga on the beach and a workshop all about the marvels of aloe vera, and artsy São Vicente in Santiago, one of the sunny Cape Verde islands. Relax as we continue south, making the most of the ship’s fantastic facilities while we spend three days at sea, before reaching our final port of call, Tema in Ghana.
