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.
Once a whaling station, Walvis Bay provides a gateway to the extraordinary desert landscapes of Namibia and is itself an area of unusual natural beauty.

The showpiece of the Walvis Bay area is the natural lagoon where you can see flamingos in their thousands at certain times of the year, along with a variety of other wading birds such as the white pelican.

Further inland you will find the stunning Namib Desert, which provides an unlikely home for a diverse array of wildlife.

Alternatively, you could venture into the desert of Sossusvlei, whose mountainous ochre sand dunes are said to be the highest in the world, or visit the colonial town of Swakopmund.
