West Africa Cruises
Our West Africa cruises sail on a small ship, either from Dakar along the coast of Senegal and up the Gambia River into The Gambia, or around the Cape Verde archipelago, between Sal, Boa Vista, Santiago, Fogo, São Vicente and Santo Antão.
There are currently 3 cruises open for booking on the Harmony V, 7 nights long. The ship carries no more than 49 guests. Every one has a 360° virtual tour, so you can walk the decks and look inside the cabins before you book.
