There is a wide range of destinations to choose from, whether you are looking at catching a glimpse of the majestic African lion or riding a wave in Durban - Africa will be your cruise holiday of a lifetime.

Adventure enthusiasts will head to South Africa’s Cape Town, one of the most beautiful cities on Earth. Here, many Africa cruises depart against the backdrop of the awesome Table Mountain. But there is more! For a dose of tropical sunshine, look no further than Mauritius, the Pearl of the Indian Ocean.
