Cruise Overview

Sometimes referred to as the Mother City, Cape Town is the most famous port in South Africa and is influenced by many different cultures, including Dutch, British and Malay.

The port was founded in 1652 by Dutch explorer Jan Van Riebeeck, and evidence of Dutch colonial rule remains throughout the region.

The port is located on one of the world's most important trade routes, and is mainly a container port and handler of fresh fruit.

Fishing is another vital industry, with large Asian fishing fleets using Cape Town as a logistical repair base for much of the year.

The region is famous for its natural beauty, with the imposing Table Mountain and Lions Head, as well as the many nature reserves and botanical gardens such as Kirstenbosch which boasts an extensive range of indigenous plant life, including proteas and ferns.

Cape Town's weather is mercurial, and can change from beautiful sunshine to dramatic thunderstorms within a short period.

A local adage is that in Cape Town you can experience four seasons in one day.

The reopening of the diamond mine at Elizabeth Bay 20 years ago has brought the development of tourism and fishing back to this small 19th century village on the barren, windswept Namib Desert coast.

One of Namibias oddities, it has everything you'd expect from a small German town - delicatessens, coffee shops and a Lutheran church.

Here, the icy but clean South Atlantic is home to seals, penguins and other marine life and the desolate beaches support flamingoes.

It was founded in 1883 when Heinrich Vogelsang purchased Angra Pequena and some of the surrounding land on behalf of Adolf Lüderitz, a Hanseat from Germany, from the local Nama chief.

Lüderitz began its life as a trading post, with other activities in fishing and guano-harvesting.

As a sign of Luderitz's revival, 1996 staged the first traditional German Karneval since 1960.
