Rotterdam (NL) - Tenerife (ES) - Sal (CV)

23 November - 21 December 2018

Combination voyage of nearly a month. Join the Oosterschelde in Rotterdam to embark on an epic journey chasing the sun. Make your way to Tenerife and then sail on to Cape Verde, escaping the busy holiday season in Europe and exchanging it for the sun, breeze and stars. Open for all ages, minimum age 15 years. Only places in 2-person cabins available.

Ports

Rotterdam is the largest port of Europe, and a modern, bustling town. Much of the historic city centre was destroyed during World War II, but extensive rebuilding resulted in a modern, multicultural city with many architectural highlights. Rotterdam has excellent cultural facilities and a diverse nightlife; during the summer the city hosts a large number of events. Discover the city by bicycle and go for a coffee in Hotel New York, the former headquarters of the Holland America Line.

Sal is one of the three sandy eastern islands of the Cape Verde archipelago, together with Boa Vista and Maio. The island is a dream destination for windsurfing enthusiasts, due to its sandy beaches and persistent winds. Tourism is on the rise in Cape Verde, but outside of the beach resort of Santa Maria the island retains its relaxed feel. Explore the quiet streets with their brightly colored houses, the blue eye cave, and the saline flats. The sun shines 350 days a year, so bring sunscreen!
