Learn more about your Southern Africa cruise

A change of scenery

Cape Town is the first port of call on a cruise to South Africa. This city, dominated by Table Mountain, attracts visitors with its rich and varied architectural heritage. Take a stroll between Strand Street and the southern part of the mountain, and you'll appreciate an architectural mosaic that blends Victorian and Georgian austerity with Cape Dutch fantasy and contemporary design. It's also here, among the markets, mosques and alleys, that you can best appreciate South Africa's cultural melting pot. Local colors are sometimes adorned with Asian touches, and European influences are never far away. Before getting back on board your cruise ship, head for Stellenbosch, Paarl or Franschhoek and their wineries, where you can sample the country's finest wines while taking in the mountain scenery.

A cruise to South Africa also includes Durban, the country's third-largest city. Take advantage of your stopover in Durban to visit Ushaka Marine World, an amusement park housing Africa's largest aquarium. If you're feeling a bit adventurous, head for The Valley of the 1000 Hills for a hike through dense forest or caves. If you're interested in history and culture, head for the nearby traditional villages to learn about Zulu culture. If you spend enough time on land, head for the Blue Lagoon for a spot of fishing or simply to enjoy the beauty of nature.

Most cruise lines also include Port Elizabeth in their itineraries. This windswept seaside resort offers ideal conditions for surfing or simply enjoying the sea on the beaches of Wildside and Horizon Bay. Art lovers and the curious will leave the beaches for a while to visit the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum to admire paintings and other masterpieces by local and British contemporary artists. At the Humewood Museum, you can learn more about South Africa's marine ecosystem. Its ocenarium reveals the marine species endemic to the region. To round off your cruise, take the time to sample local specialties such as biltong, a dish made from strips of dried meat, on the terrace of one of the town's restaurants.

When to go?

South Africa's climate varies from region to region, but around Cape Town, where most South African cruise calls take place, the climate is a mixture of Mediterranean and temperate. Between September and April, temperatures are fairly high and rainfall minimal. The best time to cruise South Africa is spring, from April to June, but that doesn't mean you should avoid the other seasons. The scenery is simply the best, and temperatures are just right - neither too cold nor too hot - for this time of year. A cruise to South Africa is possible all year round. As the country lies in the southern hemisphere, the seasons are reversed. So, if you'd like to escape the winter and its pristine landscape for a while, plan your cruise for the beginning of the year or between November and December. At this time of year, the sun is often out during your stopovers.
