Ce fut un voyage dépaysant, pleins de souvenirs, de belles rencontres. Nos excursions furent magnifiques avec un dépassement de soi. Nos lieux de séjour extraordinaire. Une bienveillance d'Anaïs lors de mon stress pour l'enregistrement des billets mais aussi pour toute la programmation de notre voyage. Nous sommes revenus avec pleins de souvenirs.

Mon mari et moi avons passé une superbe expérience avec Vialala et Damien ! Nous avons passé 10 jours aux États-Unis. Vols + Hôtel + location de voiture + matchs NFL. Ils ont réalisé mon rêve de voir des matchs NFL avec mes équipes préférées en étant au plus proche des joueurs. Damien a su comprendre nos envies et créer un voyage sur mesure, parfaitement adapté à nos attentes. Je recommande vivement ! Emanuel et Christelle

Première expérience Vialala pour nous avec Xavier pour notre Road Trip de découverte de la corse. Xavier à été très impliqué, disponible, et à l'écoute. Il nous à monté un super projet; a su le modifier au besoin lorsque nous avons rajouté un voyageur. Nous étions en contact tout le temps du séjour. Le circuit à été programmé, les hébergements, les vols, la locations des voitures ainsi que les visites et randos ! Programme complet. Mention ++ pour la rapidité de réponse. C'est une expérience que nous pourrions réitérer. MERCI

Première expérience pour nous avec Vialala, et pas des moindres puisque nous avons fait un road trip à travers l'Italie avec nos enfants. Natacha nous a concocté un voyage aux petits oignons, adapté à notre demande et à l'âge de nos enfants. Tout était adapté et parfait : les villes visitées, la durée, les monuments sélectionnés, les transports. Bref aucune fausse note et quel gain de temps et d'énergie pour nous. Plus qu'à se laisser porter et visiter ce magnifique pays en famille. Nous recommandons sans hésiter.

Un immense merci à Vialala pour ce road trip incroyable. L’itinéraire nous a fait découvrir de véritables pépites locales tout en nous offrant les paysages spectaculaires du Maroc. Tout s est très bien passé. Au delà de nos attentes ! C'est rare de trouver ce niveau de personnalisation et d’attention ….On rentre avec des étoiles plein les yeux et des souvenirs qui resteront gravés. Une organisation avec du cœur et une vraie expertise locale ! On pense déjà au voyage de l année prochaine !

Update - May 2026 : nouvelle experience plus que réussie. Pour faire simple Vialala = personnalisation + expertise + service + prix malins. Je ne compte plus les voyages avec eux. À la liste précédente s’ajoutent la Sicile, New York et le Japon. Cette fois-ci, je reviens d’un road trip en Harley et 4x4 au Maroc. À huit. Nous avons tout eu du B&B improbable à Tafraoute au palace à Marrakech, cols de l’Atlas, Anti Atlas. Que des conseils de malade que ce soit les itinéraires ou les bonnes adresses. Cahier des charges compliqué, logistique compliquée et le tout à été délivré sans accrocs dans un budget serré. J’adore leur approche. Pas un télé opérateur qui vend des produits, c’est comme un ami qui aurait vécu sur place. (Revue 2023) Vialala nous a fait découvrir Cuba, l’Ecosse, Montréal et bientôt le Botswana. A chaque fois ils ont été au top. La grosse différence c’est le niveau de personnalisation qui avoisine un service de conciergerie. On ne s’arrête pas à un programme avec eux. Si le temps change et que telle activité n’est plus possible, leur trip planner est là pour revoir le programme. Si on a besoin d’un service logistique ou d’un conseil pour un resto une fois sur place c’est pareil. Franchement une super formule. Merci

Nestled off the coast of Senegal, about 570 kilometers west of the African continent, the Cape Verde archipelago brings together ten islands with distinctly different characters. Some are arid and desert, others green and mountainous, others still dominated by impressive volcanic cones. This diversity of landscapes, concentrated on a total area of about 4,033 km², makes it an ideal destination for a cruise: every stop holds a different surprise.
Sailing between the islands also means immersing yourself in a unique culture, born from the mixing of African populations and the Portuguese colonial heritage. Morna, a melancholic music classified as UNESCO intangible heritage in 2019, resonates in the colorful streets of Mindelo. The bustling markets of Praia, the fishing villages of Sal, the cultivated terraces of Santo Antão: everything invites you to slow down and savor this very Cape Verdean sweetness of life.
Unlike a land-based stay, the cruise offers the freedom to discover several islands without worrying about transfers. It's a smooth and comfortable way to explore the archipelago, enjoying the intimate setting of a ship of human scale. For those seeking luxury cruises in a preserved setting, Cape Verde ticks all the boxes.
The Cape Verde archipelago has ten inhabited islands, each with its own identity. A well-thought cruise itinerary allows you to explore several in about ten days, combining beaches, hikes and cultural discoveries. Here are the must-see stops to include in your program:
Boa Vista is often the first island to win over travelers. With its vast ochre sand dunes that descend to the ocean and its deserted beaches stretching for several kilometers, it offers landscapes of striking beauty. Santa Monica beach, nearly 20 kilometers long, is considered one of the most beautiful in the Atlantic. Between swims, the ruins of the Cabo Santa Maria shipwreck and the old salt pans bear witness to a history more complex than it may seem.
Capital of the archipelago, the island of Santiago houses Praia, a lively city where African influences and colonial architectures mingle. But it is Cidade Velha that attracts more attention: founded in the 15th century, it is the first European city built in a tropical zone and has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2009. Its ruins, the Nossa Senhora do Rosário church and its fortress recount the beginnings of Portuguese colonization and the island's central role in the transatlantic trade.
São Vicente hosts Mindelo, considered the cultural capital of Cape Verde. Its colorful façades, lively cafes and music festivals make it a vibrant and warm stop. Further south, Fogo island impresses with its active volcano, Pico do Fogo, which rises to 2,829 meters. Its lava flows and vineyards cultivated in the caldera create a fascinating lunar landscape. Finally, Santo Antão offers a striking contrast with its green valleys and rugged hiking trails.
One of the Cape Verde's major assets is its stable tropical climate, allowing for a cruise all year round. Temperatures range from 22°C to 30°C depending on the season, with little precipitation on most islands. Here is an overview of periods to better plan your trip:
| Period | Climate | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|
| November to January | Cool and dry, moderate trade winds | Hiking, cultural discovery |
| February to April | Hot and dry, calm sea | Cruises, beaches, snorkeling |
| May to July | Hot, slight humidity increase | Observation of sea turtles |
| August to October | Rainy season, heat | Lush landscapes, attractive prices |
The dry season, from November to May, is generally recommended for a Cape Verde cruise. The sea is calmer, navigation conditions more pleasant and the sunny days. Between July and September, the beaches of Boa Vista host Caretta caretta turtles that come to nest, a rare natural spectacle that some travelers plan for specifically.
Regardless of the period chosen, the Cape Verdean dolce vita remains intact. This is what sets this destination apart: a relaxed atmosphere, welcoming locals and an island rhythm that naturally invites you to disconnect.
A Cape Verde cruise is unlike any other, and that is precisely what our Travel Planners strive to build with you. At Vialala, every tailor-made journey starts from your wishes, your pace and your priorities. Do you want to alternate beaches and hikes? Prefer cultural stops? Sail on an intimate sailing boat or aboard a high-end ship? Everything is possible.
For a honeymoon trip, Cape Verde offers a romantic and exotic setting, far from destinations that are too touristy. Our Travel Planners can select the islands most conducive to a romantic stay, choose a suitable vessel and incorporate exclusive experiences at each stop. Family cruises are also highly appreciated in the archipelago: the islands are safe, activities varied and children are delighted as much by sea turtles as by the sand dunes of Boa Vista.
Vialala works with local experts who know the Cape Verde archipelago inside out. Their role is to propose coherent itineraries, onboard accommodations carefully selected and off-the-beaten-path experiences ashore. Whether you are seeking a luxury trip or a more authentic adventure, our advisors build with you a program that resembles you, from the ship choice to excursions on each island.
For a high-end voyage in the Atlantic, a Cape Verde cruise is an obvious choice. Contact a Vialala Travel Planner to start imagining your itinerary.
French nationals do not need a visa to enter Cape Verde. However, online pre-registration is mandatory at least five days before arrival on the archipelago. Your passport must be valid for at least six months after the expected return date. It is advisable to check these formalities with your Vialala Travel Planner before finalizing your cruise itinerary.
The ideal duration for a Cape Verde cruise is between 7 and 10 nights, which allows visiting four to six islands without feeling rushed. A 7-night itinerary typically covers the main islands such as Boa Vista, Santiago, São Vicente and Fogo. For a more complete exploration including Santo Antão and Sal, a 10-night program is recommended.
Cape Verde offers a wide variety of land and sea activities. Nature lovers will enjoy hiking on Fogo Island or in the Santo Antão valleys. Boa Vista's beaches invite swimming and snorkeling. Culture enthusiasts will find happiness in Mindelo or Cidade Velha. Each stop can be customized according to your interests by your Travel Planner Vialala.
