Itinerary



Day 1 - Day 1 Leixoes (Porto)/Portugal
Departure 19.00 hrs
Day 2 - Day 2 Lisbon/Portugal
From 12.00 to 0.00 hrsThe 15th and 16th centuries were Portugal’s golden age of exploration. Your golden age will come as soon as the HANSEATIC inspiration reaches Lisbon. Portugal’s pioneering spirit continues to flow through the winding alleys, a great place to explore at your leisure. Travel through time when you ride through Lisbon on the historic tram*. Reflect on your impressions as you spend the evening relaxing in Lisbon’s lively old town. Like the seafarers of old, curiosity sets the course when the HANSEATIC inspiration heads for the Atlantic’s island treasures.
Day 3 - Day 3 Relaxation at sea
a:0:{}
Day 4 - Day 4 Porto Santo/Madeira
From 12.00 to 19.00 hrsPorto Santo is an insider tip, its glittering escarpments and kilometre-wide beach earning it the nickname of the “golden island”. Discover its riches on an island tour in an all-terrain vehicle* with stunning views and fascinating geological insights. A lush biotope, the “island of eternal spring” awaits you in the Atlantic.
Day 5 - Day 5 Funchal
Arrival 7.00 hrsStarting from the capital, Funchal, explore Madeira – the flower island* and its biodiversity. Alternatively, a levada hike* will take you along the island’s famous irrigation system through a lush landscape. The HANSEATIC inspiration will stay in the port overnight. Relax and reflect on your impressions against Funchal’s evening backdrop: stroll through the little streets or mix with the islanders in the cafes of the old town. Immerse yourself in Funchal’s unique charm on a morning walk – for example, to the Mercado dos Lavradores farmers’ market.
Day 6 - Day 6 Funchal & Ilha Deserta Grande
Departure 11.00 hrs If the authorities allow, you will visit the uninhabited neighbouring island of Ilha Deserta Grande for a hike with a ranger, learning all about the endangered Mediterranean monk seal and its habitat.
Day 7 - Day 7 Selvagem Grande
Meanwhile, Selvagem Grande – which is equally strictly protected – is fascinating in terms of its flora and fauna such as geckos, Scopoli’s shearwaters and endemic plants.
Day 8 - Day 8 Santa Cruz de la Palma/La Palma/Spain
From 8.00 to 0.00 hrsFeaturing a mild climate and wonderful landscapes, the Canary Islands are a popular destination, particularly in autumn. With volcanoes, forests and beaches, La Palma is the pearl of the archipelago. The capital, Santa Cruz, has great cultural and historic value and boasts many 16th- and 17th-century buildings. Take the opportunity to explore the old town at your own pace and stroll along the Avenida Maritima with its typical wooden balconies. Nature lovers can take a ride to the Caldera de Taburiente National Park* along breathtaking escarpments to one of the world’s largest erosion craters. A volcano hike* shows how lava tracks from past eruptions not only shape the landscape, but also provide fertile ground for growing wine.
Day 9 - Day 9 Puerto de la Estaca/El Hierro
From 8.00 to 18.00 hrsThe smallest of the Canary Islands, El Hierro, has many faces: away from the tourist routes, discover El Hierro – the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve* or explore El Hierro – a hiker’s paradise* with its eucalyptus and pine forests.
Day 10 - Days 10 - 11 Relaxation at sea
a:0:{}
Day 11 - Days 12 - 13 Cape Verde (Santo Antao, Sao Vicente)
Fortunate to have around 350 days of sunshine a year, Cape Verde offers very special highlights: gentle bays, fine beaches, sparse desert landscapes, magnificent mountains and lush forests. The untamed elements have also given Santo Antao an unmistakable look. Go for a hike across the pristine island* and take in the idyllic coast and fertile Paul Valley at close range. Head for the dry, rugged and volcanic interior when you explore the “wild west” in a jeep*. The archipelago’s cultural capital can be found on Sao Vicente. Explore Mindelo on foot* and discover a melting pot of cultures along the promenade, at the African market and in the old town. Hike to Salamansa* and discover this dreamy little fishing village. Having explored the many facets of the islands, you will return home with a wealth of experiences.
