Transoceanic Expeditions

Discover Transoceanic

A transoceanic expedition offers unique opportunities for both in-depth exploration and refreshing relaxation. These journeys combine cosmopolitan cities like Rio de Janeiro with remote, rarely visited destinations such as Madeira, the Azores — Europe’s best-kept secret — and the Canary Islands. Cultural experts and storytellers on board will share insights into these striking lands. Along the way, unplug and unwind as you enjoy the amenities of your luxury yacht, from lounging by the pool to indulging in a spa treatment to dining on expertly crafted, always-included cuisine.

Expedition Experience: Cultural

Featured Ports of Call

Funchal (Madeira), Portugal

For an enchanting adventure, the cable car ride to the Madeira Botanical Garden rewards visitors with sky-high views of the lush scenery, rugged coastline and lively city that sprawls below.

Las Palmas (Gran Canaria), Canary Islands, Spain

A beach lover’s dream, Las Palmas features long stretches of sand sheltered by a coral reef and surrounded by a walkable city filled with museums, churches and restaurants, while a backdrop of verdant mountains invites hiking to hidden waterfalls.

Mindelo (São Vicente), Cape Verde

From the peak of Monte Verde, take in panoramic views of Mindelo’s mountain-ringed bay, pretty beaches and colorful colonial buildings, and then head into town for a performance of morna, the UNESCO-listed local music and dance.

Santa Cruz (Tenerife), Canary Islands, Spain

A rich mix of historical architecture and modern design set against landscapes of white and black sand beaches, Santa Cruz can perhaps best be appreciated from the summit of Mount Teide, the highest point of elevation in Spain.

Santa Maria Island (Azores), Portugal

Home to spectacular mountain scenery and white sand beaches, this stunning island also produces the aromatic local wine that can only be found in the Azores, vinho de cheiro.
