Atlantic Coast Cruises

Sail the Atlantic Coast – from the Netherlands’ flower-filled fields to Morocco’s exotic medinas, and everywhere in between. Navigate waters once sailed by Columbus, Vasco da Gama, Sir Francis Drake, and Admiral Nelson, where epic battles and expeditions shaped global exploration.

Discover the vibrant cities, towns and villages of the region; enjoy fresh produce at lively markets, the best of Bordeaux and Porto, Holland’s tulip extravaganza, and explore the intertwined histories of the Canary Islands, Morocco, Spain and Portugal. 

Distinctly different from the Mediterranean, the Atlantic Coast showcases a wide variety of unique landscapes, historical landmarks, and rich cultural experiences. Discover the evocative tales of battles, trade routes, and monarchical intrigue that shaped the region’s heritage. Follow the captivating narrative of the Moorish Empire, and the Iberian Christians, the ingenious corsairs of Britanny and Normandy and the famed vintners of Medoc.

Engage with cultures famous for their colourful characters and vibrant lifestyles as you explore this eclectic coastline to uncover why it remains an enigma to all who sail it.
