Leg 1 · Thu, 25.03. · Embarkation

Buenos Aires

Kap Hoorn

Buenos Aires, the "Paris of South America", is shaped by European architecture, tango milongas in the Caminito alley of La Boca and the Café Tortoni - the oldest coffee house on the continent. The Recoleta Cemetery with Evita Perón's grave is one of the most extraordinary cemeteries in the world.

Leg 2 · Fri, 26.03.

Montevideo

Sea Lions island - Beagle Channel, Ushuaia, Argentina

Montevideo, South America's most relaxed capital, links the Rambla (waterfront promenade) with the Ciudad Vieja - colonial architecture, Uruguayan asado culture and one of the continent's oldest markets (Mercado del Puerto). The wine regions of Canelones and Colonia del Sacramento are ideal for excursions.

Leg 3 · Sat, 27.03.

Punta del Este

Patagonien

On a peninsula on the southern Atlantic coast of Uruguay where the Río de la Plata meets the Atlantic, this glamorous beach resort styles itself as South America's St Tropez. The striking sculpture La Mano, five giant fingers reaching out of the sand by Chilean artist Mario Irarrázabal, is its hallmark.

Leg 4 · Tue, 30.03.

Paranaguá

Beagle Canal

In the southern Brazilian state of Paraná on a sheltered Atlantic bay, this port handles the largest soy throughput in Latin America. The colonial old town with cobbled lanes and an 18th-century Jesuit college contrasts with the modern loading cranes.

Leg 5 · Wed, 31.03.

Paraty

Nestled along the Costa Verde between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, this colonial port town preserves an almost intact 18th-century townscape. Cobblestones, whitewashed houses with colourful doorways and the Serra do Mar mountain backdrop earned it UNESCO World Heritage status.

Leg 6 · Thu, 01.04.

Rio de Janeiro

SSC_MO_dest_02

Rio de Janeiro's setting is unique in the world: Sugarloaf Mountain and Corcovado with Christ the Redeemer (UNESCO World Heritage) rise out of a sea of tropical Atlantic forest. Ipanema and Copacabana, the Botanical Garden and the Sambadromo during Carnival - Rio combines natural wonders with a Mediterranean way of life.

Leg 7 · Sat, 03.04.

Abrolhos Archipelago

The Abrolhos Archipelago off the coast of the Brazilian state of Bahia is Brazil's first marine national park. Its five volcanic islands and coral reefs serve as a winter nursery for humpback whales that travel from Antarctica to calve here.

Leg 8 · Sun, 04.04.

Porto Seguro

On the Atlantic coast in the southern part of the Brazilian state of Bahia, this coastal town is regarded as the birthplace of Brazil: in 1500 the Portuguese explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral first landed here. The Cidade Alta with three 16th-century churches documents this history.

Leg 9 · Wed, 07.04.

Natal

In north-eastern Brazil at the mouth of the Rio Potengi on the Atlantic lies Natal, capital of Rio Grande do Norte near the Equator. It is known for the mighty Genipabu dunes, where buggy tours are offered, and for the star-shaped 16th-century Forte dos Reis Magos guarding the harbour entrance.

Leg 10 · Mon, 12.04.

Aberdeen

Adobe 206054745

Aberdeen lies on Scotland's North Sea east coast and has been the oil capital of Europe since the North Sea finds of the 1970s. Built from the silver-grey granite of nearby Rubislaw Quarry, it carries the nickname Granite City.

Leg 11 · Tue, 13.04.

Tokeh

Tokeh nestles on the Atlantic coast of the Freetown Peninsula in western Sierra Leone. Its long palm-fringed beach is among the finest in West Africa, set beneath wooded hills.

Leg 12 · Wed, 14.04.

Bijagos Archipelago

The Bijagós Archipelago is an island group of 88 islands off the Atlantic coast of Guinea-Bissau in West Africa, only around 20 of which are inhabited. The UNESCO Biosphere Reserve is governed by matrilineal tradition and shelters nesting sea turtles, while the salt water hosts the rare West African hippopotamus.

Leg 13 · Sat, 17.04. · Disembarkation

Dakar

Atlantik – Sandstrand auf den Kapverden

Dakar is the westernmost capital of Africa, set on the Cap-Vert peninsula. The island of Gorée off the coast (UNESCO) recalls the darkest chapter of West African history as a slave-trading post; the African Renaissance Monument is the tallest statue in Africa.
