Detailed cruise program
  • Day 1: 16:00

    Cape Town / South Africa

    Cape Town is the oldest city in South Africa, colloquially named the Mother City. It is the legislative capital of South Africa and primate city of the Western Cape province. It forms part of the City of Cape Town metropolitan municipality.

    The Parliament of South Africa sits in Cape Town. The other two capitals are located in Pretoria (the administrative capital where the Presidency is based) and Bloemfontein (the judicial capital where the Supreme Court of Appeal is located). The city is known for its harbour, for its natural setting in the Cape Floristic Region, and for landmarks such as Table Mountain and Cape Point. As of 2014, it is the 10th most populous city in Africa and home to 64% of the Western Cape's population. It is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, reflecting its role as a major destination for immigrants and expatriates to South Africa. The city was named the World Design Capital for 2014 by the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design. In 2014, Cape Town was named the best place in the world to visit by both The New York Times and The Daily Telegraph.

    Located on the shore of Table Bay, Cape Town, as the oldest urban area in South Africa, was developed by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) as a supply station for Dutch ships sailing to East Africa, India, and the Far East. Jan van Riebeeck's arrival on 6 April 1652 established Dutch Cape Colony, the first permanent European settlement in South Africa. Cape Town outgrew its original purpose as the first European outpost at the Castle of Good Hope, becoming the economic and cultural hub of the Cape Colony. Until the Witwatersrand Gold Rush and the development of Johannesburg, Cape Town was the largest city in South Africa.

  • Day 3: 09:00-23:59

    Walvis Bay / Namibia

    Walvis Bay — Namibia’s Maritime Gateway

    Walvis Bay, located on the Atlantic coast of Namibia, offers a rare blend of an industrial port and a natural haven. The town is famous for its vast lagoon—one of the largest in Africa—where flamingos, pelicans, and other water birds can be observed year-round. It's also one of the top places on the continent to witness marine life: visitors often take boat trips to spot seals, dolphins, and sometimes even whales. The lagoon is also popular among kite surfers and windsurfers, thanks to steady winds and wide open waters.

    The city plays a key economic role as Namibia’s main port and a hub for the fishing industry. Yet, Walvis Bay attracts not only through its utility, but also through the stunning desert landscapes of the Namib, which begin just outside the town. The famous dunes and lunar scenery create a unique contrast with the ocean. This rare meeting of sea and desert makes Walvis Bay an unforgettable stop on any journey through southwestern Africa.

    Rio de Janeiro / Brazil

    Rio de Janeiro is the second-most populous municipality in Brazil and the sixth-most populous in the Americas. The metropolis is anchor to the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area, the second-most populous metropolitan area in Brazil and sixth-most populous in the Americas. Rio de Janeiro is the capital of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's third-most populous state. Part of the city has been designated as a World Heritage Site, named "Rio de Janeiro: CariocaLandscapes between the Mountain and the Sea", by UNESCO on 1 July 2012 as a Cultural Landscape.

    Founded in 1565 by the Portuguese, the city was initially the seat of the Captaincy of Rio de Janeiro, a domain of the Portuguese Empire. Later, in 1763, it became the capital of the State of Brazil, a state of the Portuguese Empire. In 1808, when the Portuguese Royal Court transferred itself from Portugal to Brazil, Rio de Janeiro became the chosen seat of the court of Queen Maria I of Portugal, who subsequently, in 1815, under the leadership of her son, the Prince Regent, and future King João VI of Portugal, raised Brazil to the dignity of a kingdom, within the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil, and Algarves. Rio stayed the capital of the pluricontinental Lusitanian monarchy until 1822, when the War of Brazilian Independence began. This is one of the few instances in history that the capital of a colonising country officially shifted to a city in one of its colonies. Rio de Janeiro subsequently served as the capital of the independent monarchy, the Empire of Brazil, until 1889, and then the capital of a republican Brazil until 1960 when the capital was transferred to Brasília.

    Manaus / Brazil

    In the heart of the Amazon, where nature and history blend uniquely, lies the city of Manaus — the capital of the Amazonas state and the largest city in the region with over a million inhabitants. It gained fame during the rubber boom of the last century, when the luxurious Opera House was built in 1896 using materials imported from Europe despite the high costs. Surrounded by jungle on three sides, Manaus stands apart from European cities with its shaded streets, small parks, and traditional boot cleaners. Just a ten-minute walk from the city center, you can find palm-thatched stilt houses inhabited by indigenous families, offering a genuine Amazonian experience.

    One of the city’s natural wonders is the "Meeting of the Waters." Here, the dark mineral-rich waters of the Rio Negro merge with the yellowish waters of the Solimões River to form the mighty Amazon. For about two kilometers, these waters flow side by side without mixing due to their temperature difference, creating a stunning natural spectacle. Manaus is considered one of the cleanest ecological cities in the world and is located just five hours by plane from Rio de Janeiro — a perfect starting point for exploring the amazing Amazon rainforest.

    Bridgetown / Barbados

    Bridgetown is the capital and largest city of Barbados. Formerly The Town of Saint Michael, the Greater Bridgetown area is located within the parish of Saint Michael. Bridgetown is sometimes locally referred to as "The City", but the most common reference is simply "Town". As of 2014, its metropolitan population stands at roughly 110,000.

    The Bridgetown port, found along Carlisle Bay (at 13.106°N 59.632°W) lies on the southwestern coast of the island. Parts of the Greater Bridgetown area (as roughly defined by the Ring Road Bypass or more commonly known as the ABC Highway), sit close to the borders of the neighbouring parishes Christ Church and St. James. The Grantley Adams International Airport for Barbados, is located 16 kilometres (10 mi) southeast of Bridgetown city centre, and has daily flights to major cities in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada and the Caribbean. There is no longer a local municipal government, but it is a constituency of the national Parliament. During the short-lived 1950s-1960s Federation of the British West Indian Territories, Bridgetown was one of three capital cities within the region being considered to be the Federal capital of region.

    The present-day location of the city was established by English settlers in 1628; a previous settlement under the authority of Sir William Courten was at St. James Town. Bridgetown is a major West Indies tourist destination, and the city acts as an important financial, informatics, convention centre, and cruise ship port of call in the Caribbean region. On 25 June 2011, "Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison" was added as a World Heritage Site of UNESCO.
