Mindelo, Cape Verde (8:00 AM – 6:00 PM)
Today’s port stop is Mindelo, the cultural center of the isolated island nation of Cape Verde, located off the northwestern coast of Africa. Pay special attention to the way locals speak— Cape Verdean Creole is a unique hybrid of Portuguese and various West African languages. It is protected by law—granted parity with Portuguese, the nation’s official language. Make sure to listen to some morna on your port stop. Heavily influenced by Portuguese, Brazilian, and African music, these melancholy tunes sung in the local dialect are wonderfully emotional— especially after a banana-scented Grogue, Cape Verde’s most famous rum-based local drink.

At Sea
Day 23
Valletta, Malta (7:00 AM – 3:00 PM)

This fortified city has hundreds of monuments within a relatively small space, making it one of the most concentrated historic areas in the world.

Day 25
Dubrovnik, Croatia (7:00 AM – 2:00 PM)
Dubrovnik is guaranteed to be a highlight of your trip. It is widely considered to be one of Europe’s most magical cities, owing largely to its awe-inspiring Old City. Enclosed by imposing stone walls, much of Old City dates back centuries, including its spectacular 800-year-old Gothic monastery and the world’s oldest pharmacy— serving Franciscan friars since 1317! The Pearl of the Adriatic also boasts breathtaking views of the Dalmatian Coast, a stunning collection of ancient red-roofed buildings, and plenty of English speakers eager to make you feel welcome.
