One of the company’s longest cruises this year, the journey includes visits to a total of 26 ports across 22 countries and territories including Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Tunisia, Greece, Egypt, Jordan, Seychelles, Tanzania, Mayotte, Madagascar and Mozambique.

Before returning to Florida in late December, the Zuiderdam is also scheduled to sail to destinations in South Africa, Namibia, Angola, Ghana, Ivory Coast, The Gambia, Senegal, Cape Verde and Puerto Rico.
