The journey begins with a passage through the English Channel, calling at ports such as Portsmouth and St. Malo. The ship then heads south to Portugal. A special feature of this cruise is the passage on the Guadalquivir River, which allows the ship to penetrate into the city center of Seville—an experience that few cruise ships can offer.

Following this, the MS "Hamburg" sets a course for Morocco before visiting the Canary Islands of Lanzarote, La Palma, and El Hierro. The core of the trip is the intensive program on the Cape Verde Islands. By calling at five islands—namely Boa Vista, Santiago, São Nicolau, Santo Antão, and São Vicente—the Plantours shipping company offers a far more extensive experience than other German providers. Guests have the opportunity to participate in excursions ranging from hikes and cultural and historical explorations to workshops introducing the regional cuisine.

On the return journey, the ship will call at the Canaries again, this time with stops in Tenerife and Gran Canaria. The route continues via Madeira, Northern Spain, and France before the MS "Hamburg" returns to Hamburg. The cruise "From Hamburg to the Canaries and Cape Verde and back to Hamburg" takes place from November 1 to December 6, 2025. The 36-day trip, which includes full board, is available from 4,999 Euros.
