BEYOND THE HORIZON...
IS A WORLD OF WONDER
Some destinations beckon like our favourite dreams, ones we keep on a ‘bucket list’ either spoken or secret, imagined or real. Now is the opportunity to take hold of those places you’ve fantasised about since childhood, when pure wonder filled the world. Come aboard and experience locales so numerous, so desirable, so one-of-a-kind that by the end of your journey, you'll need to start dreaming anew. Consider one of the world’s most mystical destinations, Easter Island. Nearly 500 years ago, on a tiny speck of land nearly 2,300 miles from the Chilean coast, the inhabitants of Rapa Nui carved massive megaliths called Moai. Questions have abounded since a Dutch explorer gave Easter Island its name in 1722, and you’ll no doubt be searching for clues as you explore this fascinating place. In the Indian Ocean, off the coasts of Sri Lanka and India, sits another speck of land that beckons world travellers as a truly unique destination. Malé (pronounced maa-lah) is the capital of the Maldives, a small island nation known for laid-back beach vibes and white-sand resorts. Malé, by contrast, is a hub of activity, dotted with brightly coloured buildings and bustling cafes. An overnight stay guarantees you’ll gain an appreciation for authentic Maldivian life before continuing onward. Just north of South Africa in the Mozambique Channel, Maputo awaits with jacaranda-lined avenues and Mediterranean-style architecture that make it one of Africa’s most beloved capitals. Founded as a port city by the Portuguese, Maputo is Mozambique’s sparkling, cosmopolitan jewel. It's an evolving city that you’ll recall long after Seven Seas Mariner ® carries you and your fellow travellers around the African coast.
