A company Aventura-Cruises has been organizing and operating shore excursions since 2004.
Throughout these years, full provision for ships' supplies is a topic that our clients have often brought up with us. We chose to deploy our extensive knowledge and contacts and established the shipping agency O Ponto in January 2014.
Since this date, O Ponto is providing services for the carrying-out of port operations for cruise ships on all the islands of the capeverdean archipelago. Both companies, Aventura-Cruises and O Ponto, are managed by the two German partners, Janine Hetzel and Lena Ehrlich.

The most suitable infrastructure for cruise ships are the ports Porto da Praia on the island of Santiago and Porto Grande on the island of Sao Vicente.
