Africa Cruises

Africa is the perfect cruise destination for a rugged safari adventure or a discovery of native cultures from the Middle East to Madagascar. Jump in a Jeep and see the lions, giraffes, and other wildlife of the Serengeti firsthand. Zip line through the canopies of a rainforest in South Africa. Learn about the history and change of Angola’s people and culture, or have a village culture experience in Senegal.

Whether you choose to spend your time immersing yourself in the native cultures, or kicking back on a beach on the Kenyan coast, Africa will amaze and astound you!

 

 

Things to Do on a Cruise to Africa

 

Africa is a vast continent with amazing landscapes and is still a largely untouched landscape where you can travel from the desert, to the mountains, and to the plains of the Serengeti. Experience Africa’s rich cultural traditions that are tied to the land and those who live there. Highlighted below are some of our most recommended experiences for cruising to Africa:

 

Africa Egyptian camel pyramids of Giza Egypt
  • Spend a day on an unforgettable African Safari. Game reserves all over the continent offer you a chance to get up close and personal with lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, zebras and more.
     
  • Explore the great Egyptian civilization with a visit to the pyramids in Giza and follow in the footsteps of Cleopatra on a cruise along the Nile. There's no better way to discover the treasures of the Nile for yourself.

Africa: Departure Ports

The great continent of Africa is a destination that runs wild with exciting culture and adventures. This continent, considered the first place where humans lived, is filled with history. The continent is so large, cruising around it takes a while, but you can explore many regions of the island with cruises that depart from Cairo in the north western corner to Cape Town way down at the bottom. Sail from Accra, Ghana on the western coast or experience the island life in Madagascar and Mauritius as you leave on a cruise from Port Louis, off the coast of Africa. Of course many longer cruises that wind up in Africa begin in ports like Southampton in Europe or Singapore in Asia.
