  1. Day 1

    Miami, USA

    Miami rewards travelers who look beyond its cruise terminals. South Beach pairs pastel Art Deco hotels with Ocean Drive; Little Havana serves Cuban coffee and music along Calle Ocho. The Pérez Art Museum Miami and nearby Design District reveal the city’s creative ambition. For a change of pace, Biscayne Bay and the Everglades place vivid natural landscapes within reach.

  2. Day 8

    Praia da Vitoria, Portugal

    Praia da Vitória gives Terceira a gentler first impression: a crescent bay, a working marina and a broad Atlantic beach. Its compact centre rewards an unhurried walk, with the Igreja Matriz de Santa Cruz at its heart. For a wider view, climb to Serra do Cume, where patchwork fields descend toward the island’s volcanic coast. Come for an easy introduction to the Azores, then linger over fresh seafood and changing light across the bay.

  3. Day 9

    Ponta Delgada, Portugal

    Ponta Delgada is the Azores’ Atlantic gateway, set on São Miguel, the archipelago’s largest island. Roads from the city lead to crater lakes, steaming fumaroles and the green caldera of Sete Cidades. In town, tiled churches and handsome squares reward an unhurried walk, while cafés serve local cheese and pineapple. Choose a scenic island drive, or explore the historic centre before returning to the waterfront.

  4. Day 13

    Southampton

    Southampton is a working port with a rich maritime past. Walk its medieval city walls, then visit SeaCity Museum, where exhibits explore the city’s connection to the Titanic. The Mayflower began its 1620 voyage from Southampton, and the Titanic sailed from here in 1912. Beyond the waterfront, the New Forest’s heathland and Winchester’s cathedral make rewarding excursions.

  5. Day 16

    Lisbon, Portugal

    Lisbon is a city best approached with time and comfortable shoes. Its seven hills rise above the Tagus, linking tiled lanes, grand squares and viewpoints with wide river views. In Alfama, narrow streets preserve the feel of old Lisbon. In Belém, the Jerónimos Monastery and Tower recall Portugal’s age of discovery. Pause for coffee and a warm pastel de nata between sights.

  6. Day 18

    Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain

    Santa Cruz de Tenerife is more than an island gateway. This Atlantic capital rewards a closer look. Browse the stalls at Mercado de Nuestra Señora de África, then follow the old streets towards Plaza de España. Its broad avenues, shaded plazas and market cafés make wandering pleasantly straightforward. Modern landmarks include the sculptural Auditorio de Tenerife, while palm-lined parks offer a welcome pause. Mount Teide rises inland; the golden sands of Las Teresitas lie within reach.

  7. Day 21

    Mindelo

    Mindelo brings Cape Verde’s Atlantic character into sharp focus: a working harbour, Portuguese-era façades and a distinctive Creole culture. The waterfront faces sheltered Porto Grande, while cafés and music venues give the town a sociable rhythm. Explore Praça Nova and the Centro Nacional de Artesanato e Design, where local craft traditions are on display. For a wider view, drive up Monte Verde, São Vicente’s highest point, on a clear day.

  8. Day 30

    Cape Town

    Few ports make a first impression like Cape Town, where Table Mountain rises above a working harbor and the Atlantic. From the waterfront, you can reach the city’s museums, gardens and historic quarters within minutes. Ride the cableway to the summit, or follow the coast toward the Cape Peninsula’s beaches and vineyards. Look beyond the views: Cape Town’s layered history and lively food scene reward a slower visit.
