Africa & Indian Ocean Voyages
A CRUISE TO AFRICA AND THE INDIAN OCEAN IS HOW IT ALL BEGINS
Take a luxury cruise to Africa that thrills, delights, surprises and intrigues, to a continent that is profound and extreme. Here Nature still reigns supreme, from the vast gamelands where wild animals roam to snow-capped mountains straddling the equator. Here too you'll discover an amazing variety of native cultures, some far older than any others on earth. From the Spice Markets of Cochin to Africa’s storied western coast, a cruise to the Indian Ocean can reveal the mystic and raw beauty of the most mysterious continent of all.
