The pioneer in cultural expedition cruises has introduced three new voyages in Africa and South America aboard the luxurious SH Vega. They are Atlantic Archipelago and Desert Dunes (Dakar to Casablanca), Moorish Splendors and Iberian Enchantments (Casablanca to Lisbon) and Exploring South America (Barbados to Brazil).

Key highlights on these cruises feature Casablanca in Africa and the Amazon River in South America. Next year marks the 125th anniversary of Humphrey Bogart; visit Casablanca beforehand to experience its stunning art deco and architecture.
