This Atlantic voyage traces Morocco’s coastline southward before crossing to Senegal, revealing a blend of desert landscapes, fortified ports and vibrant urban culture. Beginning in Casablanca, the route follows the Atlantic to Safi and Agadir, where kasbahs, souks and sweeping beaches reflect layers of history and Berber heritage. After time at sea, the journey reaches Dakhla, set on a peninsula where desert dunes meet the ocean, before concluding in Dakar, a capital known for its dynamic arts scene, markets and enduring traditions of West African hospitality.

Highlights

• Discover Morocco's coastal soul in Safi's pottery souks and Agadir's labyrinthine medina

• Stand where the Sahara meets the Atlantic at Dakhla with endless desert horizons and pristine beaches

• Immerse yourself in Dakar's legendary teranga hospitality, pulsing Mbalax rhythms, and soul-stirring Senegalese traditions

Days 0 - 1 Pre Cruise & Casablanca (Morocco)

Casablanca, Morocco's largest city, showcases a fusion of French, Moorish, and Art Deco styles in its downtown neo-Mauresque structures. The prominent Hassan II Mosque, finished in 1993, features a towering 210m minaret with laser projections, and the 18th-century medina's lively alleyways provide a glimpse into the city's historical charm. Place Mohammed V, with palm trees and an elaborate fountain, symbolises Casablanca's dynamism.

Day 2 Safi (Morocco)

Safi blends Atlantic charm, rich history, and vibrant Moroccan culture. Famous for its centuries-old pottery, the city features colorful markets, a lively medina, and sweeping ocean views. Its impressive sea-front fortress and dramatic cliffs offer a striking welcome, while Safi also serves as a gateway to Essaouira, whose UNESCO-listed medina reflects centuries of cultural exchange along Morocco’s Atlantic coast.

Day 3 Agadir (Morocco)

Agadir's beach is alive with sea-facing cafes, overlooked by the 16th-century Saadian Kasbah which graces Agadir Ou-fellah hill. The sprawling El Had Souk has 6,000 glittering stores, while the reconstructed medina, reborn after an earthquake, offers a glimpse of the city's historical charm. Other highlights include the grand Mohamed V Mosque, one of Morocco's most impressive, and the Ethnographic Museum delving into local Berber culture.

Day 4 Day at sea (At Sea)

Days 5 - 6 Dakhla (Morocco)

The city of Dakhla's position on a peninsula along Morocco's Atlantic coast where the desert meets the sea makes it a unique gateway to Western Sahara's landscapes. The region is a haven for birdwatching enthusiasts, with its vibrant flamingo population attracting numerous visitors. Kitesurfing and desert safaris are also popular activities, offering chances to see mammals like sand cats and reptiles including spiny-tailed lizards.

Day 7 Day at sea (At Sea)

Day 8 Dakar (Senegal)

Fabulous museums, a thriving art scene and elegant seaside dining showcase Dakar's rich culture and forward outlook. The bustling traditional Medina quarter with its mosques, tea shops and street markets contrasts with the Senegalese capital's French-influenced architecture and cuisine. Traditional crafts like woodcarvings and paintings sell at Soumbédioune market, making it the perfect souvenir stop.
