Luxury Africa Cruise: Canary Islands, Senegal & Namibia With Cape Town Stay
22 Nights Holiday, Early Booking Discount
Cape Town's allure lies in its spectacular setting, the beauty of its natural environment, and the rich cultural diversity of its people. The city has had a long and turbulent history, and the effects of colonisation and Apartheid still linger in the minds and hearts of many. Transformation, however, has led to a feeling of hope, which can be experienced in the cosmopolitan city centre of Cape Town.

Azamara
Sold by Royal Caribbean Group in January 2021, Azamara is already expanding under its new owners, Sycamore Partners. The destination-focused line has brought forth a ship, Azamara Onward - the former Pacific Princess - which, like the rest of the fleet, is a Renaissance Cruises R-class. But regular customers needn't worry.
In fact, they'll notice little change under the new ownership, as many itineraries will continue to be based on single countries, with late nights and overnight stays in port. The signature AzAmazing evenings - exclusive shore-based cultural events - and optional pre or post-cruise land tours are also staying.

Cruise Itinerary
Day 1
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Set sail to the Port of Las Palmas, steeped in maritime history dating back to the age of exploration. Its storied past, marked by visits from famed seafarers like Christopher Columbus, lends an air of adventure to your journey. Nestled amid the temperate Canary Islands, Las Palmas boasts a mild climate year-round, offering respite from harsher weather elsewhere. As a gateway to authentic island life, it showcases vibrant local markets brimming with fresh produce and handicrafts, providing a glimpse into the heart of Spain. Don't miss the chance to explore Vegueta, the city's historic quarter, where ancient streets whisper tales of bygone eras.

Day 4
Dakar
Day 5
Banjul
The tiny city of Banjul is the capital of The Gambia, a country that itself is little more than the banks of the mighty river that shares its name. Situated on St Mary’s Island, where the River Gambia joins the Atlantic, Bathurst, as Banjul was previously called, was established by the British in the early nineteenth century as a naval outpost dedicated to putting a halt to the trade in human beings. In 1943, Franklin Roosevelt visited Banjul on his way to the Casablanca conference with Churchill, becoming the first serving American president to visit Africa. Today, Banjul plays host to a thriving tourist trade, thanks to its pleasant climate, and is the political centre for the oldest democracy in Africa.

Day 11
Jamestown
In the South Atlantic Ocean, St Helena is a tropical island that has a variation of influences from all over the world. Explore the island with its many activities, local delicacies and rich culture.

Day 15
Walvis Bay
Once a whaling station, Walvis Bay provides a gateway to the extraordinary desert landscapes of Namibia and is itself an area of unusual natural beauty. The showpiece of the Walvis Bay area is the natural lagoon where you can see flamingos in their thousands at certain times of the year, along with a variety of other wading birds such as the white pelican. Further inland you will find the stunning Namib Desert, which provides an unlikely home for a diverse array of wildlife. Alternatively, you could venture into the desert of Sossusvlei, whose mountainous ochre sand dunes are said to be the highest in the world, or visit the colonial town of Swakopmund.

Day 17
Lüderitz
The reopening of the diamond mine at Elizabeth Bay 20 years ago has brought the development of tourism and fishing back to this small 19th century village on the barren, windswept Namib Desert coast. One of Namibias oddities, it has everything you'd expect from a small German town - delicatessens, coffee shops and a Lutheran church. Here, the icy but clean South Atlantic is home to seals, penguins and other marine life and the desolate beaches support flamingoes. It was founded in 1883 when Heinrich Vogelsang purchased Angra Pequena and some of the surrounding land on behalf of Adolf Lüderitz, a Hanseat from Germany, from the local Nama chief. Lüderitz began its life as a trading post, with other activities in fishing and guano-harvesting. As a sign of Luderitz's revival, 1996 staged the first traditional German Karneval since 1960.

Absorb Cape Town's vibrant culture with a visit to the iconic Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, where local artisans showcase their craft in a bustling market atmosphere.

With its stunning landscapes, diverse cuisine, and welcoming locals, Cape Town promises an unforgettable experience that will leave you enchanted and inspired, making it a must-visit destination on any cruise itinerary. You'll be walking through real-time heritage, rather than reading about events in a book.
