Each leg of the journey aboard Perola do Mar welcomes 8 explorers to experience this remarkable coast.
ABOUT THE SEASON 8
Starting from the rugged coast of Galicia, we cross the Bay of Biscay and navigate through the English Channel to reach Amsterdam.
Then comes the North Sea crossing to Norway, followed by a journey along its spectacular western coast.
The route combines long open-water passages with intricate coastal navigation, taking us through shipping lanes, tidal waters, and into the heart of Norwegian fjords. Every stage brings new waters and landscapes -from the Atlantic swells to the sheltered Nordic bays.
