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.
Originally the home of the San and Khoisan people and later the Xhosa tribe, the area now known as Gqeberha (previously Port Elizabeth) became a landing place for passing European ships after Portuguese navigator Bartolomew Diaz arrived in Algoa Bay in 1488.

As part of the Cape Colony, the British occupied the area during the Napoleonic Wars and it was they who built Fort Frederick here in 1799.

Twenty-one years later 4,000 settlers arrived, becoming the first permanent British residents of South Africa and Gqeberha.

Sir Rufane Donkin, Acting Governor of the Cape Colony, founded Port Elizabeth, naming the settlement after his late wife.

The town underwent rapid growth after 1873 following the construction of the railway to Kimberley, and is now one of the country’s major seaports.

Like most South African cities, miles of beautiful coastline surround Gqeberha.

Algoa Bay combines warm water and fair breezes, making it a mecca for swimmers and water sports enthusiasts.

Those interested in history can follow the Donkin Heritage Trail, past a succession of Victorian and Edwardian town houses, trim gardens and neo-Gothic churches.

Just outside the town are a number of game reserves, including the famous Addo Elephant National Park.
Durban, a glistening jewel on the south-east coast of Africa, is the third largest city in South Africa and the major city of KwaZulu-Natal.

It has been a centre of sea trade since before colonisation and now has a flourishing artistic centre, which perfectly complements the vibrant markets and rich cultures of the city.

Durban’s port is a natural half-moon harbour lined with white sand and azure water, punctuated by the port’s many piers which reach into the water like the leaves of a fan.

The beaches of Durban’s famous Golden Mile stretch along the harbour and are popular all year round, as travellers and locals alike enjoy Durban’s warm, humid summers and mild, dry winters.
